William Clement is listed in Brian Loomes' The Early Clockmakers of Great Britain, and is noted as a very important clockmaker and one of the leading London clockmakers of the late 17th century.

He turned to clockmaking when he moved to Southwark and eventually became Master of the London Clockmakers Company in 1694, having become a member in 1677. Clement was one of the earliest makers to apply the anchor escapement to clockwork, thus making the long pendulum practicable.
