FR La tour de l'horloge de Maubec date du XVIIIe siècle. Sur chaque pan, on peu voir une horloge dont certaines sont bien défraîchies et auraient besoin d'un décrassage et remise en état.
Deux d'elle elles ont attirées mon attention car elle ne comportent qu'une seule aiguille.
Pour nous tous, les horloges, les montres, ont 3 aiguilles, celle des heures, celle des minutes et celle des secondes mais il n'en a pas été toujours ainsi, et jusqu'à la fin du 18ème siècle, les horloges n'avaient qu'une seule aiguille, celle des heures.
EN The clock tower of Maubec dates from the 18th century. On each pan, you can see a clock, some of which are very tired and in need of a scrubbing and rehabilitation.
Two of them they attracted my attention because they include only one needle.
For all of us, clocks, watches, have 3 hands, that of the hours, that of the minutes and the seconds, but it was not always so, and until the end of the 18th century, the Clocks had only one needle, that of the hours.
