Övrig information
Daniel Quare (b.1649-1724) was one of the most illustrious clockmakers of England's golden age of horology. He was first admitted as a Brother of the Company 3 April 1671 and became its Master in 1708. George I offered Quare the post of King's Watchmaker; however, being a Quaker he was unable to swear the necessary Oath of Allegiance. Even so, the King allowed him free access to the Palace "by the back stairs". Daniel Quare died in 1724.
