**** Let's talk smiths - Here there or everywhere ****

[is that my watch]

Little-known fact

You can buy reproductions of old Smiths clocks, made by Lascelles. Lascelles had previously made Smiths clocks under licence from the original Smiths, after Smiths had got out of the watch and clock business. When Eddie Platts acquired the Smiths trademark it included the trademark for clocks. Eddie offered Lascelles a free licence to continue using the trademark for clocks.

Free. The reproduction clocks are sold all over Britain, and further, via Amazon and the internet.

funnily enough was going to touch on clocks and other smiths if I was to do another smiths thread ..but I know some of smiths story mainly from central London to Swiss but don't really know anything of how eddie got the rights to the smiths names or that he had given the rights over for the clocks so that might be a good idea for a thread if you had time or if you wanted you could add it here and I could modify the title to include the smiths rebirth
