HISTORY
Formed in the late 19th century by John Thomas Gent, Gent & Co are often referred to as Gents of Leicester in the world of clocks, but they operated under many different trading names for different products including Tangent, Gent, Pul-syn-etic and much later Chloride Gent.
Gents made a whole host of different designs intended for different purposes. Standard round wall clocks, square double sided, slave clocks, mains powered clocks, cast iron clocks for outdoor use to name but a few. Of course, the most famous Gents of Leicester clock of all still hangs proudly in London’s Waterloo Station.
