After 38 years Tomislav Volarić, renowned Zagreb watchmaker, has moved his small shop where he fixes all kinds of mechanical watches from downtown Zagreb to Paromlinska Street.
The watchmaker’s workshop has been operating at the same location since 1928, and the watchmaker Ivan Puzak took it over in 1981. After he had worked for the company Sat (Clock), he decided to apply the experience gained there by investing in and setting up his own business.
The legendary clockmaker’s shop was founded as far back as 1947 by Simeon Lebarović. Today it is owned by Dalibor Lebarović, the sixth clockmaker in the family.
When Mr. Vlado Šulevski came to Zagreb to study at a university, he could not have imagined that life had something completely different in store for him and that the workshop he set up in 1952 would be employing the third generation of his heirs already.
