Markwick was born in London around 1662 and was made free of the Clockmakers Company by patrimony in 1692. His father, James Markwick Senior, was a prosperous horologist and his mother, Hannah Gilpin, was the daughter of another prosperous London horologist, Edmund Gilpin, who was also James Markwick Senior's master. About four years after gaining his freedom, Markwick Jr. took over his father's workshop and trade. Around this same time, he appears to have married Catherine Carleton; the couple would go on to have at least 11 children, though only two, Thomas and Catherine seem to have survived childhood. Robert Markham became a member of the Curriers company in 1700, likely having been born around 1680, in London. His father Richard, also a Currier, died in 1715, and left Robert half of all his wealth, which included jewels and seemingly government trade contracts, the other half going to Richard's wife. Robert Markham appears to have entered into partnership with James Markwick Junior around 1725. Robert also married Catherine Markwick, though whether this was before or after 1725 is unknown. On their wedding day, James Markwick apparently gave his daughter and son-in-law £1,000. James Markwick died in 1729, leaving his son-in-law one-third of all his property. Markham continued to advertise as 'Markwick Markham', seemingly throughout his career. He and Catherine had three children, Elizabeth, James, and Anne. When Markham died in 1741, it appears that one of the Markham's continued the business, entering into partnership with Francis Perigal, the name being changed to 'Markwick, Markham, & Perigal'. It is not known which of the Markhams continued the trade, as none are recorded as clockmakers. The partnership with Perigal was dissolved around 1751, and various other partnerships were entered into. 'Markwick' remained in the shop's title until about 1820. The shop ceased trading around 1851, at that point being known as 'Markham Borrell'.Despite the firms many iterations, their main customer base seems to have been for export to the Ottoman Empire. Most of the timepieces known by them feature Turkish numerals, including a lantern clock. This suggests that this connection to the Ottoman Empire began quite early in the partnership, though exactly when remains unknown.Related LiteratureVictoria and Albert Museum (2003) Watch.
