Edward Pinchbeck wurde in etwa 1713 geboren als Sohn von Christopher Pinchbeck senior (1670-1732) und Martha Pinchbeck. Christopher war der jüngere Bruder von Edward Christopher Pinchbeck jr., Er übernahm das Geschäft seines Vaters, wie aus einer Anzeige in der „Daily Post“ vom 27. November 1732 hervorgeht, in der mitgeteilt wird, dass die Spielzeuge hergestellt aus dem seltenen Metall des verstorbenen genialen Mr. Pinchbeck, jetzt nur noch von seinem Sohn und alleinigen Testamentsvollstrecker, Herrn Edward Pinchbeck, verkauft werden. Eine weitere lange Anzeige von Edward Pinchbeck erscheint in der „Daily Post“ vom 11. Juli 1733. Beide weisen auf die große Vielfalt der Artikel hin, mit denen er sich befasste. Er reparierte auch Musik- und Taschenuhren und Repetieruhren. Bruder Christopher jr. befand sich zum Zeitpunkt des Todes seines Vaters im Ausland und so übernahm Edward die Räumlichkeiten von Christopher Senior. Ein anschließender Gerichtsprozess zwischen Edward und George Pinchbeck, Christopher Junior und John Pinchbeck wurde zugunsten von Edward entschieden. Edward Pinchbeck war sehr beunruhigt über verschiedene Nachahmungen und Fälschungen, die als echte und originale Pinchbeck verkauft wurden. Dies führte dazu, dass er in der Daily Post vom 9. Juli 1733 eine „Warnung an die Öffentlichkeit“ einfügte:
"To prevent for the future the gross imposition that is daily put upon the Publick by a great number of Shop-Keepers, Hawkers, and Pedlars, in and about this town, Notice is hereby given, That the Ingenious Mr. Edward Pinchbeck, at the 'Musical Clock' in Fleet Street, does not dispose of one grain of his curious metal, which so nearly resembles Gold in Colour, Smell and Ductility, to any person whatsoever, nor are the toys made of the said metal, sold by any one person in England except himself: therefore gentlemen are desired to beware of Impostors, who frequent Coffee Houses, and expose for Sale, Toys pretended to be made of this metal, which is a most notorious imposition, upon the Publick. And Gentlemen and Ladies, may be accommodated by the said Mr. Pinchbeck with the following curious Toys; viz. : Sword-Hilts, Hangers, Cane Heads, Whip Handles for Hunting, Spurs, Equipages [ i.e., chatelaines ], Watch chains, Tweezers for Men and Women, Snuff-Boxes, Coat Buttons, Shirt Buttons, Knives and forks, Spoons, Salvers, Buckles for Ladies Breasts, Stock Buckles, Shoe Buckles, Knee Buckles, Girdle Buckles, Stock Clasps, Knee Clasps, Necklaces, Corals, and in particular Watches, plain and chased in so curious a manner as not to be distinguished by the nicest eye, from the real gold, and which are highly necessary for Gentlemen and Ladies when they travel, with several other fine pieces of workmanship of all sorts made by the best hands. He also makes Repeating and all other sorts of Clocks and Watches particularly Watches of a new invention, the mechanism of which is so simple, and the proportion so just, that they come nearer the truth than others yet made."
