The Company was founded by Royal Charter, granted in 1631 by King Charles I, as a result of a petition presented by Francis Foreman and Richard Morgan. The charter named David Ramsey to be the first and present Master, and Henry Archer, John Wellowe and Sampson Shelton to be the first and present Wardens. It is interesting to note that even though David Ramsey was listed as the first Master, it was actually Henry Archer who frequently took his place, as Ramsey is noted as having a very poor attendance to meetings. A small table clock by Henry Archer can be seen at the Clockmakers Company Library at the Guildhall. FINE WATCHES ANd WRISTWATCHES | 3 3 4 VINCENT mENIl, AmSTERdAm.
