Little of his early life and education are recorded, but he was considered to be more than an artist, an engraver, a highly qualified craftsman, and a metal worker. He certainly had scientific education, especially in mathematics. Tümet was the only son of a prominent Audonian goldsmith (''sayigh'') and so the family was comfortably middle-class. Tümet left school at twelve to work as an apprentice under his father and learn the art of goldsmithing and metalwork, however he generally neglected his work, and at one point was evicted by his father, only to be later allowed back after apologizing for his poor behavior. At the time, pocket watches were commonly unreliable for timekeeping and were worn more as fashion accessories. In response to this, Tümet spent nearly a year researching improvements. In July 1753, at the age of twenty-one, he invented an escapement for watches that allowed them to be made substantially more accurate and compact. | Little of his early life and education are recorded, but he was considered to be more than an artist, an engraver, a highly qualified craftsman, and a metal worker.
