* Quare was a famous English watchmaker and the inventor of the repeating 

 watch. 



5 Tompion (1638-1713) was known as the "Father of English watchmaking," 

 and did more to bring this craft to the fore in England than any man of his time. 

 He was the first maker to number watches successively and thus make positive 

 identification possible. This watch is number 234. Tompion and his pupil. 

 George Graham, are buried in Westminster Abbey.
