links

In no particular order, here's a list of useful sites. I have no financial interest in any of them but some are into horology and either do work that I do not undertake or do it in other parts of the UK that I cannot cover. Others are not horology-related at all but I found them very helpful in developing and promoting my site. They're well worth a visit and each one you click on will open a new tab in your browser so you can easily return to this page afterwards as it will stay open in this tab.

If you'd like to add a link on your site to mine, please feel free to do so. And if your site is directly relevant to mine and the study of horology, I will reciprocate (subject to meeting suitable criteria, of course, like inoffensive, topic-related, suitability etc). I consider each one on its merits and there is no automatic link exchange so please, no rubbish, unrelated sites or link exchange SEO firms disguising themselves as individual site administrators; you won't get an answer.
