Top Celebrity Gifts - Chelsea Clocks

What do Dwight Eisenhower, Elvis Presley, Bob Hope, Aristotle Onasis, James Taylor, John Wayne and Deval Patrick have in common? They all received Chelsea Clocks as gifts, and some then gave Chelsea Clocks as gifts in turn. Elvis loved our clocks so much, he purchased 100 as ideal Christmas presents.

Our most recent clock gift recipients were President George Bush and Elton John.

President Barack Obama has purchased our fine clocks as gifts for foreign dignitaries in his travels for international relations.
