Thomas Mudge (1715-1794) was born in Exeter in 1715 and was apprenticed to the celebrated clock and watch maker George Graham. In 1738, Thomas Mudge became a Freeman Clockmakers' Company. In 1750, just before his former master's death, Mudge opened his business at the 'Dial and One Crown' in Fleet Street. William Dutton joined him, another of Graham's apprentices, into partnership in circa 1765.
In the eighteenth-century Thomas Mudge ranks highly as one of the most accomplished clock and watch makers. The firm of Mudge and Dutton made clocks and watches of high quality, undoubtedly it is Mudge's individual pieces which have placed him in horological history. Of particular note are his perpetual calendar watch and the equation watches made for John Ellicott to sell to the Spanish Royal court. Probably his most celebrated is the marine timekeeper of 1754 with the first detached lever escapement,.
Thomas Mudge was one of the greatest clock and watchmakers of his day, he invented the lever escapement - the greatest single improvement ever applied to watches and used in nearly all modern wristwatches.
