- Resum
- Martin Altman (also known as Martin Alteman and Martín Alemán) (1530-1600?) was a prominent clockmaker and engineer to the Hapsburgs, including Emperor Ferdinand I and King Philip II of Spain. Despite of his connections with the most influential rulers of the period, Altman was almost unknown until the recent discovery of different sources about him in Spanish archives. The aim of this article is to summarise these known available sources, to trace the different places he lived and to offer an overview of the different works he did during his life. My intention is not to exhaust the research possibilities about Altman, but to offer a starting point for future research.
