We were leading specialists in barographs (and barographs) of high quality. Our founder, Philip Collins, is a recognised world authority on barographs.

In today worlds of high tech, silicone chips and computers it is such a pity that Barometer World stopped repairing instruments.


Barometer World Workshops are now closed although we still sell many charts, ink and nibs and other parts.

Our mission is to continue to supply the highest quality products and services available as firms like Negretti & Zambra once did. In this ever changing times of electronics, the traditional finely engineered barograph is in deed a collectors piece, admired for its beauty as much as its great use.

Barographs are fascinating engineering instruments, which utilise the aneroid principle of pressure measurement to record pressure changes on a chart. There are many different designs of barographs. In the early days using mercury column barographs but the general type of barograph around today is one that is operated with a drum revolving with a clockwork mechanism or, for more modern items, a battery driven Quartz drum, and a series of leavers connecting the pressure chambers to a pen on the end of an arm.
