Daniel Quare (c. 1648-1724)was admitted as brother of the Clockmakers' Company in 1671 and served as Master in 1708. In 1718 he entered into partnership with Stephen Horseman, who had been apprenticed to him; after his death, Horseman carried on alone under the partnership name until 1733, when he became bankrupt and the business was sold. About 1680, Quare produced repeating watches of his own design, and when Edward Barlow, in 1686, sought to patent a repeating device, Quare, backed by the Clockmakers' Company, opposedhe monopoly. In Quare's arrangement a single push on a pin projecting from the case near the pendant sufficed to sound the hours and quarters, while Barlow's required a distinct action for each. The King, after a trial of both watches, gave preference to that of Quare. Although the concentric minute hand was in use long before him, Quare devised a mechanism so that the hour and minute hands should be actuated together.This watch is published in the Ruscitti book, as no. 18.
