Article from the Rolls Royce Year Book 2009:
Walking into Gütlin on the King’s Road, Chelsea, the gentle tick-tock of the many timepieces brings reassurance and peace. Housed in what was previously an art gallery, Gütlin is brimful from wall to wall with gold, silver and fine wood classic timepieces – from a rare Glashutte Second World War Luftwaffe pilots’ wristwatch to a 1720 William Barrow grandfather clock.
The owners of Gütlin, horologists John and Mark Coxhead – a father and son team, have a passion for collecting, dealing and restoring top timepieces. Established nearly 20 years ago, they are located in an area world renowned for fine antique shops and art galleries. Only dealing in quality clocks of the 18th and 19th centuries, and some from Time Dealing in only quality antique clocks,
Gütlin has the timeless classic you’ve always dreamt about. Gütlin’s speciality is French mantle and longcase clocks in mahogany, walnut and oak. However, it caters for all tastes and styles, with watches from the 1920s to 1960s, and gold, silver, carriage, bracket and novelty clocks. It also has a small range of barometers and boulle side cabinets.
Exclusivity: Starting small, buying from auctions and exhibiting at fairs, Gütlin soon built a comprehensive collection and name for themselves. ‘Not only did we sell well, but we bought well too,’ says John. ‘We’d come home with money in our pockets and a new set of clocks to restore, which was very gratifying.’ Mark says: ‘We’re engineers, with a great understanding of antique clocks, how they operate and what their values are. We are both passionate and enthusiastic about the world of clocks and want to be able to provide fine decorative items for people’s homes.’
Gütlin also specialises in Jaeger LeCoultre Atmos clocks from the 1950s to present day. A Swiss clock that uses changes in atmospheric temperature and pressure to wind itself, the power consumed by a 15 watt light bulb could run over 60 million Atmos clocks at the same time. One of the most difficult clocks a repairer will encounter, Gütlin is fully prepared to return them to the highest of operational standards. ‘They’re something that is unusual and different; made to the highest order in a period when quality counted,’ says Mark. standards:
There is nothing clock wise that Gütlin will not repair. Using specialist, modern tools, it is prepared for all eventualities. ‘The tools we use mean we can do better work and do it quicker,’ says Mark.
Celebrities and royalty are no strangers to Gütlin. The late Princess Margaret bought aclock as a present for a friend, and various high powered people from the music industry have passed through its doors. It services all the HomeOffice, Household Cavalry and Ministry of Defenceclocks. Interior designers are also great fans of Gütlin’s offerings, returning time and time again.
As for the future, Gütlin aims to increase its upmarket stock, while still offering a first-class repair or refurbishment service. Mark concludes:‘Working for yourself, for Gütlin, is a very privileged experience. We started with nothing,so to have built the business up over the years is a dream for us.’
