British clock makers Booming Export Trade

A heartening story for British business but also a special coup for clock making in the UK. This BBC item tells the story of Smith clocks who are enjoying something of a boom in export orders despite the comparative state of economic stasis at home. Apparently, "Made in Britain" has become a popular selling tag in many eastern European countries and China and of course Britain has a very special place in the history of clock making and is renowned the world over as an innovator in horology.
