Historique
This firm of clockmakers was founded in 1740 by Ainsworth Thwaites under the name of Ainsworth Thwaites and Company. The founder's son, John (born 1757), subsequently headed the firm from 1780-1816. He also served as Master of the Clockmakers' Company in 1815, 1819 and 1820. In 1816 John Thwaites entered partnership with George Jeremiah Reed, and the firm was restyled as Thwaites and Reed. The firm became a limited company in ca. 1950.
