He was apprenticed through Charles Gretton to Benjamin Johnson and gained his freedom of the Clockmakers` Company in 1701. Recent research undertaken by Warner Meinen and Dennis Radage, as part of their `Gretton Project`, has identified the fact that William Moore was indeed Gretton`s nephew who, in 1712, moved into Gretton`s premises at `The Ship` and took on three apprentices of his own. Gretton subsequently left to take-up residence at Two Crane Court next door. Moore at this time was signing clocks with his own name (rather than working as journeyman to his uncle) and continued at The Ship until the early 1720`s.
A William III burr walnut eight-day longcase clock Joseph Windmills, London, circa 1695 The six finned and latched pillar rack and bell striking movement with anchor escapement and 11 inch square brass dial with subsidiary seconds dial, ringed winding holes and calendar aperture to the matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised sword hilt half hour markers, Arabic five minutes to outer track and signed J: Windmills, London to lower edge, the angles with gilt twin cherub and crown cast spandrels with foliate engraved infill between, in a case with gilt ball finials to the domed caddy upstand above moulded cornice, fine foliate pierced frets to frieze and generous three-quarter columns with gilt caps and bases flanking dial aperture, the sides with rectangular windows and rear quarter columns each set against bargeboard rising up the underside of the cornice projection, the trunk with convex throat moulding and 41 inch book matched veneered door, the sides divided into pairs of panels with line borders, on crossbanded plinth base with bun feet (case probably with restoration) 214cm (7ft) high excluding top finial, 222cm (87.5ins) high overall. The life and work of Joseph Windmills and his successors is comprehensively documented in Neale, J.A. Joseph and Thomas Windmills Clock and Watch Makers 1671-1737. Joseph joined the Clockmakers` Company as a free Brother in on 29th September 1671 - the same year that Joseph Knibb, Daniel Quare and Thomas Tompion also gained their freedom of the Company. He initially worked from Blow Bladder Street in St. Martins le Grand, London before moving to premises at Swan Court, Mark Lane End, next Tower Street by April 1674 where the business remained. Joseph took his son, Thomas, as an apprentice who, after gaining his freedom in 1696, is thought to have immediately gone into business with his father; by 1700 the firm had become a partnership which lasted until Joseph`s death in 1724. As a contemporary of Knibb, Quare and Tompion Joseph Windmills would have had to compete with some of the finest clockmakers that have ever lived during a period of heightened scientific enlightenment. In this environment Windmills excelled, producing clocks of a quality that equalled many of his more famous peers. The current lot is no exception as the movement is very well made with no less than six finely turned and latched pillars, the underdial lever work for the rack strike is also fully cocked (rather than pivoted on steel posts alone). The dial is typical of Windmills at this period with the winding holes, calendar aperture and centre of the seconds dial having ring-turned decoration, and the chapter ring utilises his preferred form of stylised sword hilt half marker. A slightly later clock with almost identical movement and dial is illustrated in Neale A.J. Joseph and Thomas Windmills.., page 123 (fig. 5.3). The case is also of fine quality with richly figured veneers and `Tompionesque` proportions. The current lot is in has been consigned in fine presentable working order however the case has probably had some well executed conservation work undertaken in the past.
