The renowned firm of London watch and clockmakers S. Smith & Son was founded in 1851 by the jeweller and watchmaker Samuel Smith. The business became particularly well known for its fine complex watches and also built reliable chronometers which made them a supplier to the Admiralty. By 1885 they were operating from 6 Grand Hotel Buildings, Trafalgar Square and in 1914 became a Limited Company. During this period the firm sought to increasingly diversify into the production of automobile and aircraft gauges and other related instruments creating subsidiary companies for these purposes. During various restructuring programmes of the second half of the 20th century the business was eventually consolidated within the umbrella organisation 'Smiths Group PLC' which was incorporated in the year 2000.
