Notice biographique
Percy G. Dawson (1905–1992) was an antiquarian and clock-case maker based in London, the author of The Iden Clock Collection (Antique Collectors Club, 1987) and co-author of Early English Clocks: A discussion of domestic clocks up to the beginning of the eighteenth century (Antique Collectors Club, 1994). He was a member of the British Horological Institute, a founding member of the Antiquarian Horological Society, and the editor of Antiquarian Horology from 1953 till 1959. In 1994 the AHS introduced the Percy Dawson Medal for the best article by a new author submitted to Antiquarian Horology, to pay tribute to the memory of its first editor.
