Thomas Tompion, FRS (1639–1713) was an English clockmaker, watchmaker and mechanician who is still regarded to this day as the "Father of English Clockmaking". Tompion's work includes some of the most historic and important clocks and watches in the world, and can command very high prices whenever outstanding examples appear at auction. A plaque commemorates the house he shared on Fleet Street in London with his equally famous pupil and successor George Graham.

  • L'horloger anglais Thomas Tompion (1639–1713) fut le premier à répartir le travail entre les ouvriers spécialisés, pour fabriquer en série, et à numéroter ses montres. Il assembla près de 650 montres dans sa carrière et transmit l'entreprise en 1713 à son neveu, le quaker Georges Graham. Ce dernier a amélioré en 1726 l'échappement (horlogerie) en "auge de cochon" (échappement à cylindre), inventé par son oncle en 1695, et refusé de breveter son invention, afin d'en faire profiter le plus grand nombre. * Principe de l'échappement à cylindre * Baromètre à cadran de Hooke, vers 1660 (fr)
  • Thomas Tompion (Northill, 1639 – Londra, 1713) è stato un orologiaio inglese. Ad egli è attribuito il titolo, ai giorni nostri, di "Padre dell'orologeria inglese". I lavori di Tompion includono alcuni dei più rilevanti e importanti orologi del mondo e i suoi lavori possono essere acquistati a prezzi molto alti, quando vengono messi all'asta. Una targa commemora la casa che ha condiviso con il suo pupillo, di pari fama e suo successore, George Graham, in Fleet Street. (it)
