FATTORINI & SONS company

The FATTORINI & SONS company was founded in 1827 by the Italian Antonio Fattorini (1797 – 1860). In Yorkshire he opened several jewellery, watch and barometer shops.

Then they began to produce sports cups, symbolic decorations, tableware, commemorative and collectible items, medallions, medals and museum replicas. In the 1980s, the company began producing ceremonial and ceremonial swords.

Watches have become a special love of the company! Many mechanisms and designs of both pocket watches and table and wall watches were patented.

In 1878, the store began to occupy the ENTIRE building! Not just one small department.

For example, PATENT FATTORINI & SONS:

“We, Fattorini jewelers, hereby declare the nature of this invention and the manner in which the same is to be carried out, which must be specifically described and confirmed in the following statement:

The invention relates to the improvement of alarm clocks and is aimed at the device, design and use in an alarm clock of a certain mechanism, by means of which the indicator plate is automatically activated to appear in a convenient position on the watch or on its dial. the number of hours before the clock goes off, and refers particularly to that class of alarm clocks which go off every twenty-four hours; instead of every twelve, an example of which can be found in Wood’s Specification No. 16226 of 1892.
Thus, if the watch is set to sound an alarm at, say, five o’clock in the morning, between six and eight in the morning an indicator will automatically appear indicating that the watch will be silent for the next twelve hours, and at about six at night such an indicator will automatically change to indicate that the alarm clock will go off in the morning at the time for which it is set.”

The company has reached the highest level, fulfilling royal and government orders. In 1937, Winston Churchill ordered the company to produce a jewelry pin.

In 1971, the Company received an order from the Times newspaper to produce replica jewelry of Pharaoh Tutankhamun. The jewelry was sold at the British Museum during the Tutankhamun exhibition from March to December 1972. The Times was keen to sponsor the exhibition because it financed the initial excavations in Egypt that led to the discovery of the young king’s tomb.
