Wibmer Uhren (Peter Wibmer)

Independent horological association work

Peter Wibmer is documented as the proprietor of Wibmer Uhren in Bärnkopf, Austria. AHCI identifies him as a clockmaker and records membership from 1987 and his presidency from 2003 to 2011. AHCI describes Wibmer’s mechanical skeleton clocks and complicated indications, but its current directory places him among former members. Historical presidency and membership dates must not be represented as current office-holding. 124

The customer, the clockmaker and the cabinetmaker

In his career interview, Wibmer describes training in Lienz and Karlstein an der Thaya, work in Vienna, and self-employment initially repairing clocks for dealers and watchmakers. A client encouraged original clock production; he later moved to the Waldviertel. Wibmer’s first-person account says his workshop made movement components while collaborating with a cabinetmaker, dial letterer and engraver. Bespoke planning was undertaken with the customer; this is not a claim that every part of the finished clock came from one pair of hands.

A dated April 2018 interview describes Wibmer having reactivated his trade after retirement and working in Bärnkopf. The report includes repair of a sixteenth-century horizontal table clock; it does not establish his September 2026 operating status. 13
