Thwaites & Reed has been in continuous manufacture since its foundation and claims to be the oldest clock manufacturing company in the world. Geoffrey Buggins MBE, the last of the original family clockmakers, saw drawings of Thwaites clocks dating back to 1610. These drawings and other early records prior to 1780 went missing but other records from that date are stored with the London Metropolitan Archives. Further records are stored by Thwaites & Reed up to present day. Dunstable Town Council archives had their Catalogue of Turret Clocks etc in booklet form made up to 1878 claiming upward of 4,000 church and turret clocks made in their factory since the establishment of the business, and there is a later incomplete list showing the date of supply and purchasers of turret clocks to 1902.
