COLECłIA DE CEASURI A MUZEULUI MUNICIPAL “ION RAICA” DIN SEBES
THE COLLECTION OF CLOCKS OF THE “ION RAICA” MUNICIPAL MUSEUM FROM SEBES

Summary/Abstract: This study presents the collection of clocks of the museum from Sebes. It was constituted in the 1960s through donations and acquisitions. It consists of five table clocks, four hall clocks, a pocket watch and a mechanism of turret clock. From the point of view of execution the collection is heterogeneous. For instance, in case of the hall clocks we can notice elements of décor specific to folk art and in case of the table clocks the influences of Baroque and Rococo are perceivable. At first sight, these objects, except for the pocket watch, look as only one of its kind, which confers them more value. As concerns the pocket watch, according to our knowledge, it is important due to its mark (Lépine), frequency, as well as the exquisite workmanship.
