The article speaks of the masters of clockmaking who worked in Ljubljana in the 19th century. The clocks and watches are preserved in museum and private collections in Slovenia, Zagreb and Austria. The preserved specimens, which date back to the first half of 19th century and were created in the workshops of Baltazar Hofman, Anton Regaly and Leonhard Heichele are designed in the spirit ofthe Viennese empire. There are a few existing specimens ofthe tabernacle clocks from very beginning ofthe century, created as a reminiscence ofbaroque design. In the second half of the century, when well-developed manufacturies were already in operation in neighbouring countries, the names of Ljubljana’s clockmakers on imported clocks merely represent a guarantee of quality and an advertisement for their workshops. Domestic masters in their small workshops were no longer able to compete with mechanized production in larger centres and the work of Ljubljana’s clockmakers was therefore reduced to the sale and repair of watches.
