Dent is a British watch and clockmaking company founded by Edward John Dent in 1814. The firm became known for marine chronometers and standard clocks supplied to observatories and government bodies, including regulators at the Royal Observatory, Greenwich; in 1852 it won the commission to construct the Great Clock at the Palace of Westminster (Big Ben). After a period of dormancy in the late 20th century, the brand was revived in London under E. J. Dent & Co. Ltd.
