Notes Dent A celebrated watchmaking dynasty founded by Edward John Dent (1790-1853), known for high quality watches, clocks, chronometers and regulators. After starting life as a tallow chandler, Edward John Dent switched to watchmaking. From 1815 to 1829, he was employed by the Vulliamys and the Barrauds. In 1830 he entered into a partnership with J. R. Arnold. In 1840 he set up his independent establishment at 33 Cockspur Street, London. He was the builder of “Big Ben”, the famous Westminster clock. The firm continued to operate until recently at 41 Pall Mall, London, as E. Dent & Co. Ltd.
