Also see E.G. Aghib & J. H. Leopold, AHJ, September 1974, p. 890-94.Ahasuerus Fromanteel II was born in 1640, a son of Ahasuerus Fromanteel I. 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. Clarke died in 1735.A quarter repeating table clock by William Speakman, London, with identical casting details to its double basket top, albeit with plainer handle, was sold by Skinner, Boston, 2 November 2013, lot 284.Professor Hans Bertele von Grenadenberg (d.1984) was born in Austria. During the second half of the last century he formed a collection of clocks which comprised the best examples of work from England, France, Switzerland and Austria, amongst others. 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.
