The history of the Tinkerman family is a quintessential American success story. From humble begins, the first Tinkerman started a legacy of technological achievement that would grow into an empire. And at the heart of it all was one family heirloom that defined their relationship to their craft: The Automaton. From a clockwork wonder to a sentient machine, the evolution of this robotic companion became the duty of every Tinkerman progeny, each adding their own contribution to The Automaton, reflecting their own time period, skill, and even flaws as the years pass and times change.
