The clock is signed - František (Franz) Bibus founded his workshop in Moravská Třebová in 1883. He originally started as a silversmith, but the company quickly grew into a factory for luxury metal goods (Alois Bibus & Sohn). They were court suppliers for Vienna and their quality was comparable to the famous Viennese workshops.
