You could try John Harrison. He was the famous clockmaker that came up with the accurate timepiece that solved the longitude problem for ships in the 18th Century

Is that Arthur Sullivan , the famous 20th century composer ?

arthur sullivan does not fit the century

Thank you all for your help. John Harrison seems to fit the bill.
