About Mr. Tompion: Thomas Tompion was arguably England's greatest watch & clock maker; born in 1639 and trained as a blacksmith (which at the time was the nearest thing there was to an engineer) he became Master of the Worshipful Company of Clockmakers in 1703. He died in 1713 and was the first clockmaker to be given the honour of a burial in Westminster Abbey. This honour was most likely granted because he was watch & clockmaker to two English sovereigns, Charles II and subsequently to the joint reign of William & Mary after the "Glorious revolution" of 1688.
