Hello, I’m Martin.

Welcome to my Quirky Clocks.

After training at Blackpool College of Art and Design, I spent a looooong career in marketing making ads. It was fun. But I always wanted to make something more long-lasting. More timeless, you might say.

I’m passionate about trees. That’s where my Quirky Clocks come in. I use reclaimed scaffolding boards, hewn from European spruce or pine, to give them a second life. Castaway door hinges found in skips and old picture frames finish off each cabinet.

I believe in designing and building a clock that is meaningful to you with designs hand-built and painted in my workshop. A clock that is unique. That is a reminder of a story you read, a dream you had or a warm memory from your childhood. And that will last a lifetime.

Martin
