He appears to have worked for Daniel Quare, but did not enter the Clockmakers' Company until later when he set up in business on his own account. He was Junior Warden in 1721 and became Master in 1724, but died in office in June 1725. His surviving clocks demonstrate that he must have been a gifted mathematician with a good knowledge of astronomy. He was appointed watchmaker to King Charles II of Spain. This clock shows solar time in accordance with that indicated by a sundial and not Greenwich Mean Time as it is known today. The Latin inscription on the dial translates approximately to mean that the clock shows apparent (sundial) time by means of complicated equation work. This feat is achieved by the use of a cam which controls the effective length of the pendulum throughout the year. Joseph Williamson claimed to have invented this device in a letter which was published in Philosophical Transactions towards the end of 1719. Some of Daniel Quare's longcase clocks incorporate this feature and it is thought that Williamson made this part of the clock for him
