B.L. Vulliamy was keeper of the clocks in the Royal Household and would often arrange for both movements and dials to be replaced with those of his making so as to improve their efficiency. He was also, along with his brother Justin Theodore, responsible for continuing the work of Frederick Barraud in building up the magnificent library of horological books belonging to the Clockmakers Company, indeed many of the books were presented by the Vulliamy brothers themselves and he would push other clockmakers of note to donate books. At a time when many new law offices and government buildings were being constructed on the orders of William IV, Vulliamy was given the opportunity to provide clocks for these buildings and it is claimed that the business supplied 187 such clocks for the Crown, of which this example is one.
