GB 0074 CLC/125 1767-1946; 1984-1985 Collection 82 production units. National Benevolent Society of Watch and Clock Makers

The society was formed in 1916 by an amalgamation of the Watch and Clock Makers' Benevolent Institution (established 1815, of 35 Northampton Square); the Watch and Clock Makers' Pension Society (established 1817, of 35 Northampton Square) and the Clock and Watch Makers' Asylum (of Waterfall Road, New Southgate). The society maintained an office at 35 Northampton Square until c.1940 though it also took over the Clock and Watch Makers' Asylum (usually known subsequently as "the Homestead").

These records were deposited by the Clockmakers' Company in 1984-5, and were catalogued by a member of Guildhall Library staff in 1985. The Company had been given the records by the National Benevolent Society. The Guildhall Library Manuscripts Section merged with the London Metropolitan Archives in 2009.

Records of the National Benevolent Society of Watch and Clock Makers since 1916; and the archives of the three predecessor institutions, the Watch and Clock Makers' Benevolent Institution, the Watch and Clock Makers' Pension Society and the Clock and Watch Makers' Asylum. The records comprise annual reports and accounts, financial records, minutes, correspondence and related papers. Also one volume of an earlier benevolent society active in London from 1767 at least, the Society of Clock and Watch makers.

The records have been sorted into an order which reflects divisions between the different functions and operations of the organisation and its administration.

These records are available for public inspection, although records containing personal information may be subject to access restrictions.
