Lot Essay

Daniel Quare (c.1649-1724) is one of the most eminent names in English clockmaking from the golden age of horology. Famous for his repeating work in watches, and his fine, high quality clocks, examples of Quare's clocks can be found in the British Museum and in the Royal Collection. He was made free of the Clockmakers' Company on 3rd April 1671, moving to Exchange Alley in 1683-86. In 1698 he was admitted to the Court of assistants of the Clockmakers' Company and was made Junior Warden in 1705. He became Master in 1708.
