The name of Elliott was synonymous with quality clocks for well over over 100 years.
In 1865 James Jones Elliott of 156 Cheapside, London was apprenticed to "Bateman" of 82 St John Street, Smithfield London, to learn the art of clock making.
Initially JJ Elliott specialised in producing pinions and balance shafts, he then progressed to making and patenting a weight-driven movement which had chimes on tubes, this original Elliott clock was very successful and resulted in considerable worldwide trade.
On the 16th April 1904 JJ Elliott died and his son Frank succeeded him to run the clockmaking business.
In 1909 the clockmakers company of JJ Elliott amalgamated with Grimshaw Baxter and the factory moved to Grays Inn Lane, London.
In 1921 the partnership with Grimshaw Baxter was dissolved and Frank Elliott joined a well known firm of Bell Founders and Clockmakers, Gillett and Johnson Ltd, Croydon.
In 1923, two years later he took over their clock factory and formed the famous company of F.W. Elliott Ltd.
He was joined by his two sons Leonard and Horace Elliott, who had served their apprenticeships in the trade.
The third son, Ronald, joined the company in 1929.
