In the 1960”s he opened his own workshop in Clerkenwell where he was entrusted with the restoration of many of the world”s finest clocks. It was during this time that he made a small number of fine regulators, such as this example. William Galbraith was a Liveryman of the Clockmaker”s Company and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.
