Newgate was founded by Jim and Chloe Read. Jim dropped out of art school in his late teens and pretty much immediately set about making and designing his own products. He met Chloe very shortly after, and together they founded Newgate. They began by painting and framing artworks, and then incorporating clock movements into these decorative frames. Newgate is now a brand renowned for our iconic, design-led clocks and homewares. The Newgate watch brand was launched in 2015, with an aim to draw from Newgate’s extensive library of timepieces to form a comprehensive collection of unisex fashion watches, incorporating the same design DNA that Newgate homeware has become known for. As a British brand Newgate has been heavily influenced by its Great British design heritage, championing retro and vintage influences within our designs, whilst adding a touch of British eccentricity and a large dose of contemporary modernity to our collections.
