Biography:
Scientific instrument maker, born in Rotterdam. At the age of twelve, his grandfather Steven Hoevenaer, a goldsmith from Utrecht, sent him to his uncle Johan Sneewins, a famous instrument- and clockmaker from Utrecht. After six years of education Hoevenaer went to Leiden in 1653. At the time of his first marriage in 1654 he lived at the corner of the Kloksteeg and Rapenburg. A year later Dirck Jansz de Block became his apprentice. Around 1661, Hoevenaer moved his workshop, where he sold instruments as compasses, sundials, astrolabes and clocks, to the Rapenburg (now number 56). On March 25, 1683 Hoevenaer became instrument maker of Leiden University, when professor De Volder appointed him to the first supervisor of the Leiden Cabinet of Physics. After his death, his only surviving son, Simon Hoevenaer, continued the business at the Rapenburg, but later he moved to Utrecht.

Biography:
Christopher Clarke was a British clockmaker. In 1694 he moved to Amsterdam where he resided on the Vijgendam. He married the daughter of the clockmaker Ahasuerus Fromanteel jr. Clarke started a partnership with Fromanteel, but it is not clear whether or not the firm from then on came to be known as Fromanteel & Clarke, or after the death of Fromanteel, when the firm was continued by Clarke. In 1722 Clarke found a new partner in Roger Dunster and the firm was renamed in Clarke & Dunster. Clarke returned to England in 1730, where he died four years later. After Clarke's death Dunster continued the business under his own name.
