Abstract

The paper is based on archival research and provides new insights into the history of clockmaking in Karlovac in the 18th and 19th centuries. It also brings information about until now unpublished clocks in the City Museum of Karlovac, which increases the number of preserved clocks with signatures in C / Karlstadt to ten. These are the only known clocks with the Karlovac signature of two clockmakers Marcus Gohm (portal clock) and J. Heckel (frame clock), and the longcase clock of Lorenzo Wilhelm Pehr.
