Thomas Tompion

And Daniels was, in like a real sense, carrying the entire tradition by himself.

And that lineage had produced Harrison, that was, that had produced, I think, historically, Harrison, Mudge, like Frodsham, and ones that I hadn't mentioned, like Tompion and Earnshaw, and kind of like the great English watchmakers of like the previous centuries.

That lineage in the 20th century was only one person.

So when Daniels accepted Roger Smith as the only apprentice he would ever fully train, the lineage was passed from basically one person to one other person.
