Hon. Victor Albert Spencer later Lord Churchill (1st Viscount)(23 October 1864 - 3 January 1934) was the son of Francis Spencer, 2nd Baron Churchill. The family descended from Francis Spencer (1779-1845), younger son of the fourth Duke of Marlborough.
He was a page of Honour to Queen Victoria from 1876 and 1881 and in 1886 he succeeded to his father's title. Educated at Eton College and the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, he was commissioned into the Coldstream Guards in 1884 as a Lieutenant, and stayed in the regiment until 1889 - presenting them with this clock as a parting gift. He was made a viscount in the 1902 Honours List.
