Richard Ames is recorded in Loomes, Brian The Early CLOCKMAKERS of Great Britain as being born circa 1634, he was apprenticed to Peter Closon in 1648/9 and gaining his Freedom of the Clockmakers` Company in 1656/7. He was made Assistant in 1669, Warden 1676-81 and was elected master in September 1682 only to die the following month. His widow Katherine perhaps assisted by their son, William, continued the business until at least 1692. He had many apprentices, the most significant of which perhaps being John Ebsworth (Freed Apr. 1665) who became a fine maker of lantern clocks in his own right. The work of Richard Ames is discussed in Loomes, Brian LANTERN CLOCKS & Their Makers pages 127-134 where two very similar clocks to the current lot are comprehensively described and illustrated (figs. 9.5-11). All of these three examples share the same unusual features (passing half-hour strike and separately wound trains), and can be compared to another illustrated in Darken, Jeff and Hooper, John English 30 Hour Clocks pages 47-50 which only differs in not having passing half-hour strike.

Daniel Quare was admitted as Brother of the Clockmakers` Company in April 1671 and by 1683 he was working from Exchange Alley, London. He was selected as a member of the Court of Asssistants in 1698, later becoming Master in 1708. The following year he took a former apprentice, Stephen Horseman, into partnership which presumably lasted until Quare`s death in 1724. He was a fine inventive and commercially-minded maker who supplied clocks to significant European Royal and Aristocratic clients as well the Court of William III. As a Quaker, Quare refused an invitation from George I to be appointed `Royal Clockmaker` as his beliefs would not allow him to undertake the Oath of Allegiance, however an informal arrangement was agreed where Quare had open access to the palace via the back stairs. In addition to clocks, Quare is also famous for his `portable weather glass` or pillar barometer for which he sought a patent via the Clockmakers` Company in 1695. After his death in 1724 he was buried at the Quaker`s burial ground at Bunhill Fields.
