Abstract
One of the best and most beautiful pieces in the rich collection of our museum, is this admired French clock model representing the Three Graces. Created in the late XVIIIth century and because of its enormous acceptance, the model continued being used throughout all the XIXth century, especially during the so-called Neoclassicism. Numerous examples of this clock can be admired in private and public collections. In this study we will see its ancient origins and its persistence all over the years.
