About:

The founder Salvatore Demanuele started the business of repairing clocks, gramophones, cameras, typewriters and all kinds of precision tools, machinery and instruments. In his career he built a number of tower clocks, mostly in churches, and some of which are still in use today.

His first clock, an 8-day striking tower clock, was commissioned by the British services and installed in St. Andrew’s barracks in 1923. It was later moved to the church of Tal-Mirakli in Lija, where it remains to this day. His second commission was for the Mellieha church in 1927 and the third, intended as a copy of the Lourdes Sanctuary, was inaugurated on the 30th August 1931 at Zabbar Parish. On the 6th October of the same year bishop Mauro Caruana O.S.B. declared 100 days indulgence to people who said a Hail Mary when the clock chimed the Ave Maria.

Salvatore was awarded 3 medals for clock making.
