Ferenc Radvánszky, is a clock restorer, engineer who moved back to Hungary from Switzerland . A representative chamber exhibition opened from his private collection at the Nagytétény Castle Museum.

 

Clocks were important pieces in aristocratic salons and civilian homes. They are not only of historical value for our viewer today, but have of cultural a historical significance as well. Among many other objects they can tell a lot about their former owner's lifestyle, be it an ornamental clock as part of the interior or pr a pocket watch. The Radvánszky Collection lists items from the 17-19th century. It is a . remarkable collection because the clocks were restored to their original state so that device is operational. Special items are also included in the exhibition that has no counterpart in any of the Hungarian public collections.

 

The objects that evoke art history periods are not only significant with respect to aesthetics but are authentic documents of industrial history. Due to decades of collecting work by Ferenc Radvánszkywe are able to show collection of luxury pieces with sophisticated interior, which also represent a historic value. In addition: all clock was restored by their owner.
