Prince Albert II of Monaco after the finish of the first stage of the rally, attended hudozhestennuyu US ART gallery in Rottermani quarter.
He was surprised to see our most ancient desktop striking clock made in Tallinn (Revel), who showed him the owner of the gallery Urmas Syrumaa.U these hours, in chains, interesting story. They increased the history of watchmaking in Estonia for a hundred years!
 The manufacturer of these hours, a master Vestgin Baltzer, who works in Revel in the second half of the seventeenth veka.On arrived in Revel of Augsburg, one of the centers of watch-making in Europe in about 1650. At that time belonged to the watchmakers guild of smiths, but they had a great desire to create your own shop. Obviously, he immediately contacted the local watchmakers, because his signature is present next to the signature of the master Franz Siladi (who arrived from Hungary), on the petition, dated March 5, 1652. But the friendly relations with local craftsmen quickly ended. The fact that the master Franz Siladi November 18, 1952 became a citizen of Revel and the law made legal masterom.A Mr. Baltzer was not married to a citizen of Tallinn, and therefore could not become a citizen grazhdaninom.Tolko Revel could be a master. In September 1652, his colleague, who has lived Baltzer, also became a citizen and legalized as a way master.Takim our Baltzer was an illegal! And pushing in 1654 Vestgin Baltzer married Anne Tallink Rielyanderig, and this gave the opportunity to become a Master. In 1654, watchmakers again filed a petition to the Town Hall to give permission to create a watchmakers shop and again they suffered neudachu.Delo that there were only three of the wizard. This Hans Weiss, Lawrence Viola and our Vestgin Baltzer (by this time Hungary, France Siladi, have already ruled out).
At these hours, produced a master Vestgin Baltzer worth its name, the name of the city, which means that he was not an illegal!
While the plague raged in Revel, and perhaps this is causing delays in the establishment of shop time. In 1657 Vestgin Baltzer died.
