The clockmaker’s trade in Slovenia can be followed through written sources continouosly from the 16 th century; the oldest reports originate from Ljubljana and one century later we already have the first particulars about clock-makers from the Slovene region ofStyria. In the aride clockmakers are presented chronologically in different places, whereas the collected particulars of their training, life and work mainly originate from written sources of their guild association, which had its seat at Graz. The preserved clocks and watches with the signs of the workshops of Maribor, Celje and Ptuj undoubtedly prove that the clock masters in the Slovene region of Styria carried out demanding orders and that their products, as concerns design and quality, were equal to the clocks in Graz and Vienna, which were mainly made for the wealthier classes. The names of clockmakers in the mentioned places are quite condensed and from their family names it is evident, that they were mostly immigrants from German speaking countries. The available particulars show that two clockmaker’s workshops worked in the towns at the same time. More eloquent, however, are the paricularsfrom the second halfofthe 18th century, when the names ofthe clockmakers also comply with material proof oftheir existence.
