Leslie Bryan originally trained and worked in Production & Design Engineering, specialising in Automotive small batch manufacturing, however, by the late 1970`s the relevant industries were creating disillusionment, as cost was always paramount before quality. He changed course when some friends of his noted that they couldn’t find anyone skilled to maintain, service and repair their priceless antique timepieces. In 1983 at the age of 26, Leslie decided to study Horology as a mature student at the Birmingham School of Jewellery, where he gained outstanding grades and achieved many awards for his innovative and creative work, among others the Victor Ludorum for best student.

Although born and raised in Cheltenham, Leslie has spent much of his later youth in Lincolnshire, and has now been at his present address and studios for well over sixteen years. The businesses are a family effort with several members assisting with their own particular specialised skills. He is a Fellow of the British Horological Institute.

Leslie also finds time to enjoy being a Skipper on offshore sailing Yachts, (1997, 44ft yacht, around the Greek Islands), Motor Cycling around Europe, collecting antiques, and also a Church Warden, and Chairman of the Parish Council for the villages of Belton & Manthorpe.

"To have an effective business you must have careful consideration of your aims and use diplomacy an awful lot. Most importantly if you don’t enjoy what you are doing, you shouldn’t be doing it!"
