In 1884, Hirst Brothers, founded by Alfred Hirst, was established in Union Street in Oldham, UK. With the objective of producing timepieces, jewellery and optical goods of all kinds, the business soon began to flourish. By 1894, the expansion led to the company moving to larger premises in Curzon Street, Oldham. Just four years later, it registered as a limited company.


In 1904, Hirst Brothers saw the acquisition of a second business in Manchester, followed by the purchase of a third in 1907 in Birmingham.


Alfred Hirst witnessed one of his greatest ambitions come to life in 1912, as his range of watches saw the introduction of the Limit trademark, a move that forecasted the start of a new era in the watchmaking industry.


Originally the early Limit watches carried a movement from the Waldenburg factory in Switzerland, which were shipped to the Oldham headquarters for assembly into British made ‘Dennison’ cases. The business later branched out with new sales offices in London and Glasgow, however with the outbreak of the war in 1914, Hirst Brothers switched from normal production to the manufacture of optical instruments.

What our customers say

I have used The Clock Clinic previously before moving away from the area. I required a replacement clock face for a family heirloom and initially sought help from a shop in Surrey which turned out to be extremely unhelpful, dismissive and rude. I called the Clock Clinic, and Elly could not have been more helpful!  Elly spent time researching our problem, found another solution which was spot on for us, but did not result in a "sale" for them. Real "above and beyond" service, absolutely brilliant.  Highly recommend.

Highly professional and courteous service from the Clock Clinic.  Serviced one Baume & Mercier watch in a timely manner, replacing a used strap with a good-looking replacement. Repaired another (when others couldn't) and got it working without any attempt to "up-sell" services.  Much appreciated, I would recommend Alastair, Hilary and the team.

Best watch experts in London. I took my Emporio Armani watch to get the screen repaired to multiple watch shops and they were unable to have it fixed. I even sent it back to the manufacturer and they were unable to repair it. I brought it into the Clock Clinic and they were able to repair the watch in a timely manner for a great price. Friendly and expert service. I recommend this place to anyone. Thanks team!
