Evan Roberts was a maker and dealer of watches from Wales who lived from 1836 to 1918. He built up an impressive collection of watches, of which some were displayed at the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair. During his lifetime, several publications presented his collection. After his death, he bequeathed large parts of it to the Victoria & Albert Museum and the London Science Museum, while others were given to the National Museum of Wales. According to the Dictionary of Welsh Biography, Evan Roberts was considered the greatest horological collector of all time.
