Price Promise
Our Price Promise
We know that price is important. And while all of our designs follow the recommended retail prices (RRP) from our suppliers, we’re determined never to be bested.
It’s why we decided to introduce our Chaplins Price Promise. A guarantee to try and match the price of a branded product should you find it on sale at another authorised UK retailer. While the offer only applies to new designs (rather than clearance, outlets or ex-display) it’s our way of showing that we don’t just offer the best in service or style, but are committed to competitive pricing, too.
Please click on the button below should you wish to query a price. If a competitor's offer isn't immediately apparent online, we may ask you to supply us with a written quotation from the retailer — just to confirm the details.
And remember, Chaplins newsletter subscribers get an exclusive first order discount when they sign up. All of the details of which you can find in the footer below.
Designer Profile
George Nelson
George Nelson was an American architect who learnt to look at ordinary objects with unusual eyes. In the early 50s, he set himself the challenge of inviting fantasy into contemporary homes through a series of quirky looking clocks. Quite a departure from your standard styles, they sought to enliven blank walls with unusual shapes and eye-catching materials, while ensuring the kind of high-quality quartz movements you’d find on your favourite timepiece. In doing so, Nelson went beyond just keeping track of time, transforming the minutiae of the everyday into a striking objet d’art.
