Footnote: William Clement (circa 1638/39-circa 1709) is recognised as one of the most innovative clockmakers of his time. He is widely co-credited for inventing the anchor escapement and was also possibly the first person to use a spring-suspended pendulum. Little is known about his early history, but he was apprenticed in the Blacksmiths' Company in 1657 and a Freeman of the Clockmakers' Company from 1677. He was rapidly made an Assistant in the Company 'by unanimous consent and approbation and for good reason and especial esteem' in 1678, and in 1694 he became Master.
