Ben Wright Exceptional Clocks & Wristwatches is a specialist shop in central Tetbury that rewards a visit if you're interested in how timepieces are made.
The collection spans vintage and antique clocks alongside contemporary wristwatches, each piece chosen for quality and craftsmanship. You can examine the intricate mechanisms and design details that distinguish different eras, from the engineering of older pieces to modern interpretations. Even if you're not a serious collector, there's something absorbing about studying the mechanics and artistry involved in timekeeping.
Tetbury itself is a proper working market town with a strong tradition of independent retailers and antique dealers, so you'll find the broader shopping experience here worthwhile. The town carries genuine Cotswolds history in its streetscapes and architecture, making it pleasant to spend a couple of hours simply walking around. The shop's central location means you can easily combine your visit with exploring other local attractions. Malmesbury is within easy reach if you want to visit another significant town, and Westonbirt Arboretum makes for a good half-day excursion if you fancy getting out into the countryside. You could comfortably spend a full day in this corner of the Cotswolds without running out of things to see.
