A comparative analysis of columns about time and the passing of hours in the works of three authors. The first, from the nineteenth century, is the French writer Étienne de Jouy, author of the series L’Hermite de la Chaussée-d’Antin. The second is his contemporary Polish imitator, Gerard Maurycy Witowski, who (like Andrzej Dobosz a century later) used the pseudonym ”Pustelnik z Krakowskiego Przedmieścia” (The Hermit of Krakowskie Przedmieście). The third is the 20th-century poet, essayist and novelist Paweł Hertz. The text leads to the conclusion that reflection on the passing of time and an interest in tools used to measure time are characteristic features, a kind of signature, of Paweł Hertz’s writing.
