He was apprenticed to Simon Bartram and made free in July 1663. He probably took over the family business in Holland in about 1675. He died in 1703.Abraham Fromanteel, (b. 1647) a son of Fromanteel I, was apprenticed in 1662 to his father and left London in 1668 for The Hague where his father now was. He moved to Newcastle, perhaps soon after, but certainly by 1674 and married in 1678. However tragedy struck a year later with the death of his wife and shortly after their infant daughter. Perhaps this is why he returned to London in 1680, where he was made free of the Clockmakers' Company that year. He travelled between London and Amsterdam and was probably in Amsterdam from 1700 until 1711, returning to Newcastle, where he died with a considerable fortune, in 1730.Christopher Clarke was born circa 1668 and listed as from Kelloby which, according to Loomes, may have been Killerby, Co. Durham. He married Anna Fromanteel, the daughter of Ahasuerus Fromanteel II, in 1694 and then went into partnership with either Fromanteel II or Abraham Fromanteel (d. 1730) in Amsterdam. He inherited a good amount of the Fromanteel fortune and later struck up a partnership with Roger Dunster around 1722. He must have returned to London as in his will he is listed as residing in New Ormond Street, Parish of St. Andrew Holborn, Middlesex.

Highly respected in his field, he wrote prolifically and published learned articles in the Antiquarian Horological Journal and the Horological Journal, amongst others. He was also an avid art collector. His book on chronometers, first published in Munich in 1981, with an English language version published ten years later, is a standard work.

However, his grandson, Qianlong, whose dynasty spanned most of the 18th Century (1735-1795), with a huge budget, collected throughout his 60-year reign. This resulted in a substantial expansion for English merchants and makers. An observation by the missionary Valentine Chalier in 1736 ' As for clocks, the Imperial palace is stuffed with them…..there must be more than 4000 from the best masters of Paris and London…'. As Dr. White notes in his extensive book English Clocks for the Eastern Markets, Qianlong was simply the greatest collector of Western clockwork there has ever been. From the 1750s onwards, commercial activity in the West focused on objects that could be exported to ease the balance of payments between East and West, fuelled by the heavy demand in the West for exotic Asian wares, such as porcelain, textiles, lacquer and of course tea. The form of case is known as the 'scroll angle' design and was most used by Henry Borrell and John Mottram.Two similar clocks, with variations to the one offered, were sold at Christie's, Hong Kong, Magnificent Clocks for the Chinese Imperial Court from the Nezu Museum, 27 May 2008, lot 1512 & 1515.
