Various watches were recorded stolen from his premises in 1774 and 1781. He is known as a maker of fine longcases, with one in particular being an exceptional musical example with the dial showing the saint's days, holy days and the Gods of the four seasons along with an annual calendar. Another example, with a wooden movement showing the influence of the great John Harrison who had previously worked in the area, is on display at the Collection, Art & Archaeology in Leicestershire where it is stated: Although influenced by Harrison, Sutton remains an outstanding craftsman and innovator in his own right. Reference: Joseph McKenna, Clockmakers & Watchmakers of Central England, Mayfield Books, 2002. The rear of the moon disc and the frontplate of the movement are both signed, one scratched, the other punched, by the clockmaker Thomas Pear of Stafford who is recorded as working at 4, Marston Road, Stafford, from before 1880 until at least 1896 and beyond. This mark would indicate that he carried out some repairs/restorations on this clock.
