*This clock is believed to be unique and possibly a special commission

**The maker, Robert Seignior, was regarded as quite a rogue and of some notoriety in his working life, however he was also a highly regarded clockmaker, initially apprenticed to John Nicasius and was Freed from the Clockmakers' Company in April 1667. He then took on apprentices Richard Wright and Thomas Cruttenden, who was then passed over to John Fromanteel. He worked in Exchange Alley and was constantly in trouble with the clockmakers' company administration. On the 10th October 1682 he got paid twenty pounds for a clock commissioned for the Treasury Chambers, which is thought most likely to be this clock. He finally died in 1685 and by 1686, Daniel Quare had taken over Seignior's former premises in Exchange Alley
