Teh Court Clockmaker take you on her weekly clock tour in the halls of the Royal Palace.

The oldest clocks at the palace, which were made by the finest master clockmakers, remain part of the living palace to this day. They are beautiful works of art in their own right and most of them still work, continuing to perform their timekeeping function centuries after they were made.
