Joe Smith – Time for analogue in a digital world

Smith of Derby have been making public clocks around the UK and rest of the world since the 1850s. If you have sought the time from an analogue station clock in a major station it is most likely a Smith of Derby clock.

In this Great Rail Tale, Professor Joe Smith talks about what makes him tick, the family business, its heritage, why they have one clock that is always wrong and why he believes that an analogue clock will always survive in a digital world.
