Mr. Dudley was a member of the fraternal society of Freemasons, and as a watchmaker, he?d seen and repaired watches made by Morris Tobias, an English Freemason from the early 19th century, who occasionally produced watches with Masonic emblems worked into the designs of the balance cocks. Inspired by the work of Tobias, Mr. Dudley began working on designs for a Masonic watch of his own, and by 1918, he?d settled on a design with the various bridges made in the shape of the ?working tools? of the fraternity..
