Ramón Garín was a Madrid clockmaker with a shop on Calle Príncipe in Madrid. He styles himself as the successor to Max Schnabel, a clockmaker of German origin who set up his workshop in 1840, on surviving invoices from the firm, one of which is preserved in the historical archive of the Banco de España. Garín specialised in the manufacture and sale of precision timepieces and supplied instruments to the Astronomical Observatory. He was the Spanish representative of David Glasgow, who made the clock that was installed in the tower on the Banco de España building. Garín also installed another clock by Glasgow in the Santa Cruz Orphanage in the town of Carabanchel.
