About
Thomas Tompion His Life and Work by R.W. Symonds. New York: B.T. Batsford Ltd., 1951. First edition hardcover with dust jacket. 320 pp. Thomas Tompion (1639-1713) was England's greatest watch and clockmaker. In the last half of the 17th century two inventions enabled clocks and watches to become reliable time keepers, the pendulum and the spring balance. Tompion was able to perfectly construct these parts and do them beautifully, his clocks became not only perfect time keepers but works of art. He made these masterpieces for the Kings and Queens of England including Charles II, William II & Mary, and Queen Anne.
