History
Desbois and Wheeler, watch and clockmakers, was based at 9 Gray's Inn Passage between 1820-1835. In 1836 the business was renamed Daniel Desbois and Sons and remained at the same premises until 1879 when it moved to 79 High Holborn. From 1902-58 the firm's address was 10 Brownlow Street, High Holborn and from 1959 to 1980 51 Carey Street. The business then appears to have moved to Hampstead.
