<strong>Erwin</strong> <strong>Sattler</strong> Timepieces Destined for Generations<br />

seit 1958<br />

»What you can’t buy, you will simply have to make yourself«.<br />

This motto saw watchmaker Heinrich <strong>Sattler</strong> building a handy<br />

clock in 1902 that was outfitted with a perpetual calendar for<br />

the desk or shelf. He<br />

patented it on March 4,<br />

1903. Heinrich <strong>Sattler</strong>’s<br />

untiring pursuit of technically<br />

demanding and<br />

simultaneously exceptionally<br />

elegant clocks was<br />

also appropriated by his<br />

grandson <strong>Erwin</strong> <strong>Sattler</strong><br />

until he retired.<br />

About sixty years after<br />

Heinrich <strong>Sattler</strong>’s invention,<br />

<strong>Erwin</strong> <strong>Sattler</strong> took his<br />

motto and turned it into the<br />

base of his business<br />

concept. In 1958, this watchmaker founded his own clock<br />

manufactory. However, the movements available on the market<br />

did not correspond to the ideals of the young watchmaker,<br />

who had undertaken to manufacture »clocks for generations«.<br />

<strong>Sattler</strong> thus decided to to manufacture the movements for his<br />

clocks in the future. The roots of the contemporary <strong>Sattler</strong> clock<br />

manufactory were thus planted.<br />

The company developed new dynamics after Stephanie<br />

<strong>Sattler</strong>-Rick, one of Viola and <strong>Erwin</strong> <strong>Sattler</strong>’s three daughters,<br />

and watchmaker Richard Müller jointly took over the<br />

administration of the company with clear vision and division<br />

of tasks.<br />

»Only when Richard Müller joined the company as technical<br />

director did the opportunity present itself to approach the<br />

project in unison,« comments <strong>Sattler</strong>-Rick, the entrepreneur<br />

in charge of the business aspects.<br />

Displaying equal parts determination, consistency, and<br />

imagination, they turned the family-owned enterprise into a<br />

true manufacture. <strong>Erwin</strong> <strong>Sattler</strong> remained in the background<br />

as a consultant for several years. He went into a well-earned<br />

retirement in 2002 with the knowledge that his life’s work was<br />

in the best of hands with the next generation.<br />

“The transformation of the clock production into an almost<br />

fully self-sufficient manufacture took place between 1992<br />

and 2002,” says Richard Müller. »In these ten years, we<br />

restructured the company with the development of many new<br />

movements, models, and our own table clock movement so<br />

that we wouldn’t need to purchase any more movements. This,<br />

of course, needed to occur at a very high level – such that it<br />

actually wouldn’t need to be improved anymore.«<br />

With this credo <strong>Erwin</strong> <strong>Sattler</strong>’s dream was fulfilled: the small<br />

series precision pendulum clocks lovingly manufactured by the<br />

Gräfelfing-based manufactory moved up in the hierarchy to<br />

become the best available in this category in the world.<br />

With this in mind,<br />

<strong>Erwin</strong> <strong>Sattler</strong> München<br />

has now manufactured<br />

»clocks for generations«<br />

for almost fifty years,<br />

clocks that even the<br />

company’s own managers<br />

and employees<br />

would buy.<br />

The Manufactory<br />

The small family-owned company <strong>Erwin</strong> <strong>Sattler</strong> Stiluhren,<br />

founded in 1958, has become a globally operating enterprise<br />

over the last 52 years. Thanks to permanent general improvements<br />

in quality – chiefly within the last decade – and the<br />

meticulously cultivated precision pendulum clock product lines,<br />

<strong>Sattler</strong> is practically without competition today.<br />

At <strong>Sattler</strong> it is not only clocks that are created. We manufacture<br />

fixtures that may become the visual focus of an office or living<br />

space. For this reason, we not only place value on the finest<br />

workmanship and highest precision in our workshop in<br />

Gräfelfing (near Munich); aesthetics play just as important a<br />

role for these precious timekeepers. A <strong>Sattler</strong> clock should not<br />

only display the precise time, but also be a joy to the eye.<br />

For this reason, the long chain of development from the first<br />

sketch of the movement to its completion in our workshops<br />

takes place under the aegis of a balanced synthesis of the<br />

most modern manufacturing technologies and a century-old<br />

craft. Only this guarantees that a <strong>Sattler</strong> clock will live up to<br />

our high expectations – and yours.<br />

We begin by manufacturing the so-called ébauche using the<br />

most modern computer-controlled production centers. These<br />

precision tools complete their tasks precisely to the hundredth<br />

of a millimeter. Tolerances above and beyond that are not<br />

accepted. Ensuing finishing touches are characterized by the<br />

extensive talents and skills of our experienced watchmakers.<br />

Naturally, each and every raw component destined for use in<br />

a <strong>Sattler</strong> movement is created from the full material, whether<br />

it is steel or brass. Fully trained lathe operators and milling<br />

cutters are responsible for this based on the sketches of our<br />

movement design department. It is also clear that all 25<br />

<strong>Sattler</strong> manufacture movements are our own developments,<br />

created solely in exclusive small series.<br />

The lavish cases are produced by a specialized German<br />

carpenter’s workshop according to our sketches and uncompromising<br />

quality standards.<br />

A production depth of about ninety percent makes any<br />

discussion unnecessary as to whether <strong>Erwin</strong> <strong>Sattler</strong> may bear<br />

the title manufacture.<br />

Precision and Perfection<br />

An Imposing Clock<br />

These days, <strong>Sattler</strong> produces timekeepers of almost every size<br />

and shape. The façade of the company’s factory itself is<br />

dominated by a twelve-meter-high glass tower housing the<br />

largest precision pendulum clock in the world, boasting a<br />

pendulum length of almost eight meters. Stephanie <strong>Sattler</strong>-Rick<br />

and Richard Müller, owners of the <strong>Sattler</strong> manufacture, were<br />

convinced that manufacturing such a giant precision clock<br />

would offer an exciting challenge. More precisely expressed,<br />

Monumentum Temporis is the 6.25-time enlargement of<br />

a <strong>Sattler</strong> precision pendulum clock that has already been<br />

manufactured more than 1,000 times.<br />

The tower is fully illuminated at night, and thirteen giant glass<br />

panels allow a fascinating view of the regulator dial, 160 cm<br />

in diameter, while three blued hands – true to the style of oldfashioned<br />

observatory clocks – display the seconds, minutes,<br />

and hours on separate dials. The painstakingly milled, goldplated<br />

brass gears and delicate Graham escapement can be<br />

viewed not only through a cutaway in the dial, but also<br />

through the side panels of the tower.<br />

In keeping with the motto that a pendulum clock is only as<br />

precise as its pendulum, the temperature and air pressure<br />

compensation pendulum is made of several different materials.<br />

The exactly coordinated dimensions of the carbon, brass,<br />

stainless steel, and aluminum ensure that the 7.8-meter<br />

pendulum maintains a precise frequency of 0.2 Hz (5 seconds<br />

per swing) even at varying temperatures. The precision clock<br />

is wound mechanically once a week from inside the building<br />

using a winding crank. The movement is powered during<br />

winding via a Huygens endless-chain winding mechanism,<br />

typical in its dual weights of different sizes.<br />

By building this unique precision clock, <strong>Erwin</strong> <strong>Sattler</strong> wanted<br />

to »mark« time – both for Germany as a production<br />

location, and far beyond its borders.<br />

A Very Small Clock<br />

The smallest product of this clock manufactory is an automatic<br />

wristwatch featuring an engraved gold rotor, a regulator<br />

display, and a jumping second hand that springs forward<br />

with the tact of the second itself. This <strong>Sattler</strong> wristwatch was<br />

created on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the<br />

company’s founding and has since become a popular and<br />

successful model.<br />

The Regulateur Classica Secunda features an exact miniature<br />

version of the very successful wall clock Classica Secunda<br />

1985’s regulator dial, but with all the characteristics of a fine<br />

mechanical wristwatch: As on the original, this wristwatch’s<br />

dial is made of solid sterling silver (925/000) and sports four<br />

screws.<br />

With regard to our customers, we at <strong>Sattler</strong> have only one<br />

goal: satisfaction in every way. This is equally true for<br />

the design, quality, and longevity of our products. For this –<br />

reason, the long development chain from the first sketch of the<br />

movement all the way to the final assembly takes place in<br />

our workshops under consideration of a balanced synthesis<br />

comprising the most modern production methods and a<br />

century-old craft. Only this guarantees that a <strong>Sattler</strong> clock,<br />

down to the last detail, corresponds to our high demands –<br />

and especially yours.<br />

The twenty-five employees of the <strong>Erwin</strong> <strong>Sattler</strong> manufactory<br />

therefore live the dream every day: they have the pleasure<br />

of making clocks that last for generations.<br />

Movement Quality<br />

The production of the up to 420 parts that are sometimes<br />

necessary to complete our complex movements takes time.<br />

Engraving the different scales on a dial alone takes about fifty<br />

minutes – at the end of which it is lavishly silver-plated. Depending<br />

on the model, a clockmaker needs a full working day to<br />

make a matching set of hour, minute and second hands. Each<br />

hand is first traditionally filed to produce a rounded<br />

shape, something the clockmaker calls doming. Then, steel<br />

hands are sanded and polished. Finally, they are heated<br />

over a gas flame until they have an even, deep blue color.<br />

This process is called tempering.<br />

Our base plates, upon which all the moving parts of a<br />

movement are mounted, are crafted in hardened brass that is<br />

up to five millimeters thick so that they are extremely stable.<br />

Each drilled hole is individually positioned and applied by<br />

our CNC-controlled machine. This process takes longer than<br />

simultaneous drilling with conventional machines, but it is much<br />

more precise.<br />

The elegant legs of our gear wheels are not stamped, but<br />

rather milled from a whole piece. The watchmakers mount<br />

them on solid, hardened, steel arbors with precisely cut<br />

pinions. For lasting protection from oxidation, all our brass<br />

parts are plated with precious gold.<br />

To improve performance and reduce wear on the material, we<br />

use pallets made of agate. The gear wheel arbors are put in<br />

jewel bearings mounted in so-called chatons or the most<br />

modern precision ball bearings. Exceptionally small driving<br />

weights and unusually long maintenance intervals are the<br />

positive result.<br />

Consistent use of high-grade materials, our own milling and<br />

computerized machines, and above all the high standard that<br />

each employee demands of him or herself make the unique<br />

<strong>Sattler</strong> quality possible. It can be up to two years before<br />

a new <strong>Sattler</strong> movement is finally encased. This seems like a<br />

long time, but it is actually very little compared to the<br />

centuries a clock made in the <strong>Erwin</strong> <strong>Sattler</strong> manufactory will<br />

have to live. We are passionately dedicated to making clocks<br />

that will continue to bring joy to future generations – and that<br />

justifies just about any amount of effort.<br />

Case Quality<br />

If you purchase an <strong>Erwin</strong> <strong>Sattler</strong> clock, you should have one<br />

thing in mind: this timepiece will have more than one owner<br />

in its lifetime since it was built to last for generations. It is for<br />

this reason, that we dedicate the same exact attention to each<br />

and every component – both visible and hidden. And we<br />

take care of every detail with the same degree of attention.<br />

For more than twenty years Josef Wochner’s company, located<br />

in Baden-Württemberg’s Heiligenzimmern, has created our<br />

elegant, functional cases in the same spirit. At this case<br />

manufactory, the most modern production methods are also<br />

combined with traditional craftsmanship.<br />

Naturally, only the best materials are used in order to permanently<br />

guarantee the highest quality thanks to transparency,<br />

optimal legibility, reliable protections, and stability.<br />

The precious wood used for our cases must be dried for many<br />

years so that it does not warp. In particular, the front doors’<br />

especially thin trim must reach its final thickness over the course<br />

of several steps. Between each of these steps, the wood is<br />

stored for longer amounts of time to acclimate. Only when<br />

all the parts have reached their final dimensions, are they<br />

assembled in many demanding steps to become a complete<br />

case. The surface is sanded by hand before applying each<br />

of the thirteen layers of varnish. This is why the varnishing<br />

of a <strong>Sattler</strong> case alone takes fourteen days. As a result, the<br />

surface is wonderfully smooth with a silky shine and, like all<br />

the details of our clocks, is extremely durable.<br />

Large, polished glass, faceted at its edge, additionally underscores<br />

a desired transparency on some of our clocks. The<br />

width of the facets is perfectly harmonized with all the other<br />

proportions when the clock is designed. Our designers<br />

usually orient themselves on historical models, with the result<br />

being what defines the basic elements of <strong>Sattler</strong>’s cases:<br />

a classic appearance and timeless elegance.<br />

This attention to detail coupled with the traditional art of<br />

the craft makes a quality possible on all of our cases that<br />

makes a precision clock from the <strong>Erwin</strong> <strong>Sattler</strong> manufactory<br />

a recognized masterpiece and thus a valuable heirloom<br />

for generations.<br />

Research and Development<br />

What is regarded by both <strong>Erwin</strong> <strong>Sattler</strong> and connoisseurs of<br />

fine mechanical timekeepers as precision is something that<br />

depends on many factors. Often times, less obvious little<br />

details make for the famous cherry on top: optimally shaped<br />

teeth for a light, friction-free gear train; the right selection<br />

of materials, and the most perfect compensation possible for<br />

atmospheric influences. Each of these parameters often<br />

increases rate precision by only fractions of a second, but<br />

the sum of these details is exactly what makes a clock into<br />

a precision pendulum clock.<br />

A research and development department at the <strong>Erwin</strong> <strong>Sattler</strong><br />

factory passionately takes care of these many details – here<br />

the task is to continually optimize and develop mechanical<br />

precision timekeepers. In this department, modern measuring<br />

technology is utilized to examine the day-to-day practicality of<br />

historical theories and inventions in the twenty-first century.<br />

Before the knowledge gained is allowed to flow into the<br />

production process, it is extensively tested on prototypes.<br />

Computer-aided gear train designs, high numbers of teeth on<br />

various gears, and consistent outfitting of the movements with<br />

jewel and ball bearings guarantee optimal energy transmission.<br />

This saves up to fifty percent of the driving weight. At the<br />

same time – something non-technicians can also understand<br />

– the movement’s longevity is extended significantly.<br />

We maintain a unique laboratory for quality control that<br />

enables our designers to analyze environmental influences on<br />

a pendulum under constant conditions. In our new pressure<br />

chamber, for example, we examine the behavior of individual<br />

pendulum designs under various atmospheric conditions.<br />

From that, air pressure constants are calculated. In the end,<br />

this targeted analysis of research results makes it possible<br />

to create efficient compensation of the influences of air<br />

pressure and temperature changes on the rate of our<br />

precision pendulum clocks. Thus, rate deviations can be<br />

restricted to values in a range of just a few seconds per month.<br />

Unusual or unconventional materials provide us with new answers<br />

for old questions. Driving weights made of tungsten,<br />

pendulum rods crafted in Superinvar, extremely low-friction<br />

ball bearings, and progressive air pressure compensation<br />

barometers are just a few examples.<br />

This makes clear why Richard Müller, co-owner and technical<br />

head of the <strong>Erwin</strong> <strong>Sattler</strong> manu factory, continuously invests<br />

great sums in the research and development department.<br />

At the same time, our creative designers are given the space<br />

they need to realize their ideas and visions.<br />

In the manufactory:<br />

Two years go by. On a high-performance computer screen,<br />

lines, circles, and curves fit together to form secretive design<br />

plans. CNC-controlled machines drill precise holes in the base<br />

plates, turn thin arbors, and mill intelligently shaped teeth.<br />

Miniscule balls create precision bearings for the arbor’s pivots.<br />

Schooled craftsmen give steel poire and Breguet hands<br />

their inimitably slim shape, then carefully temper them over<br />

a flame to give them their wonderfully deep blue color.<br />

Somewhere else in the manufactory, magic hands create two<br />

moons and a number of shiny stars on a round metal disk.<br />

Or they cut wood intarsia, putting them together to make a<br />

wonderful work of art. Glass panes are faceted and<br />

polished. All the while, and with great patience and care,<br />

experienced clockmakers assemble fascinating microcosms<br />

that divide the passing of time into measurable parts. Without<br />

rushing, these works of art are adjusted and regulated so that<br />

they can fulfill their task with optimal precision. Carefully<br />

packaged up for delivery, the end product is finally on the<br />

way to a retailer that has been qualified as a suitable partner<br />

for the <strong>Erwin</strong> <strong>Sattler</strong> manufactory.<br />

Atmosphere<br />

Someplace else:<br />

Your house or apartment during this time: you’ve leafed<br />

through the catalogue again and again, looking at the<br />

pictures and studying the texts. You’ve discussed it all with your<br />

<strong>Sattler</strong> dealer. And then, one day, it happens: your <strong>Erwin</strong> <strong>Sattler</strong><br />

precision clock arrives. You notice right away that something<br />

has changed for you at home. The timelessly elegant design<br />

decorates any room; gentle ticking creates an inimitable<br />

atmosphere in the room where it hangs. You literally feel how<br />

the daily grind makes way for peace and quiet. Thoughtfully,<br />

you watch the ponderous swings of the pendulum, every move<br />

inspiring you. In your mind, you make a journey back to<br />

times when electronics did not yet play a role. You feel<br />

how the sonorous ticking of your clock touches you, the<br />

masterpiece embodying value and tradition. You become<br />

conscious of how this seemingly anachronistic object defies<br />

these fast-paced times of our era with ease and charm within<br />

your four walls.<br />

Precision Pendulum Clocks<br />

What is a second? This question seems simple, but the answer<br />

has kept people occupied for centuries. In 1820, a group of<br />

French scientists defined the second as 1/86,400 of the<br />

mean solar day.<br />

This is relatively easy to envision looking at our precision<br />

clocks. One valuable second of our lives has passed when<br />

the one-meter-long pendulum has moved from one extreme to<br />

the other. Because we use only the best materials to form our<br />

pendulums, we can promise with a clear conscience that the<br />

length of one pendulum swing almost never deviates from the<br />

caesium time norm – for months and years. However, our<br />

mechanical precision pendulum clocks do demand a solid,<br />

vibration-free wall upon which to tick.<br />

Sigmund Riefler, the king of precision clocks at the turn of the<br />

twentieth century, reported that microseismic effects disturb<br />

pendulum timekeeping. The <strong>Erwin</strong> <strong>Sattler</strong> manufactory avoids<br />

this with intelligent design. Other proven enemies of precision<br />

timekeeping like friction and changes in air pressure and<br />

temperature are treated no less seriously. Our clocks<br />

are recognized as the best in precision currently available<br />

on the market. At the same time, clock connoisseurs<br />

with a predilection for perfectly stylish craftsmanship<br />

recognize our style.<br />

Semi Secunda 65 – <strong>Erwin</strong> <strong>Sattler</strong>’s Smallest Precision Pendulum Clock<br />

The Semi Secunda 65 occupies a special position in the<br />

<strong>Erwin</strong> <strong>Sattler</strong> manufactory’s precision clock collection.<br />

This model is not only the company’s smallest precision<br />

pendulum clock, it is also the model that can find good space<br />

for itself even under cramped circumstances. Its so-called<br />

upside-down escapement is a special element of <strong>Sattler</strong><br />

Caliber 2006. Because the pendulum’s suspension point is<br />

located between the movement’s two base plates, the case<br />

has been kept very flat.<br />

The generously skeletonized dial makes not only this<br />

construction visible, but also another special element of the<br />

movement: its Graham escapement including agate pallets<br />

and a 60-tooth escape wheel. This means that the Semi<br />

Secunda actually has a half-second pendulum.<br />

The pendulum’s laws of physics dictate that the length of the<br />

pendulum decreases by a quarter in relation to the period of<br />

the oscillation, and in fact, a half-second pendulum is only<br />

one-quarter the length of a one-second pendulum. The Semi<br />

Secunda’s pendulum thus oscillates twice per second, making<br />

an escape wheel with sixty teeth necessary. Thus, the second<br />

hand makes one complete revolution per minute.<br />

To improve the pendulum’s compensation of temperature<br />

change, the Semi Secunda is equipped with a doublecylinder<br />

compensation pendulum according to Prof. Ludwig<br />

Strasser. Here, the compensation pipe is almost uncovered in<br />

comparison with other pendulums, and thus almost completely<br />

surrounded by air.<br />

The movement is also outfitted corresponding to <strong>Erwin</strong> <strong>Sattler</strong>’s<br />

technical level. Gold-plated, milled gear wheels turn on<br />

hardened pinions in a total of twelve stainless steel ball<br />

bearings between nickel-plated brass plates four millimeters<br />

strong. Another two jewels are in charge of friction-free<br />

movement.<br />

Interplaying with the movement’s steel cable and spring<br />

barrel, the so-called fusee ensures constant force for thirty<br />

days of power reserve. On the silver-plated dial, the power<br />

reserve is displayed along with the time and date.<br />

The case, as always at <strong>Erwin</strong> <strong>Sattler</strong>, illustrates the highest<br />

quality of varnish. The elegant locking mechanism for opening<br />

the front door deserves special mention. Available in black or<br />

a black-walnut combination, this »small« precision pendulum<br />

clock in no way needs to hide behind its more famous<br />

big sisters.<br />

Wood with Metal Inlay – Metallica 1735 – The Modern Precision Clock Line<br />

The Metallica 1735 model, in our middle range of sizes at<br />

105 centimeters, is easily integrated into any living situation.<br />

A combination of wood and metal inlays lends the case<br />

a contemporary appearance.<br />

The movement is outfitted with ten precision ball bearings and<br />

two jewel bearings. Gold-plated gear wheels drive the<br />

temperature-compensating 5/6-second invar pendulum.<br />

A cutaway in the silver-plated regulator dial allows a view<br />

of the Graham escapement with its agate pallets, and a<br />

barometer reliably compensates variation in air pressure on<br />

the elegant double-cylinder pendulum.<br />

The ball bearing tungsten weight located off to the side makes<br />

a power reserve of one month per winding interval possible.<br />

Thanks to high craftsmanship and the use of high-grade<br />

materials and and compensation elements, the Metallica<br />

1735 achieves a rate deviation of about three to four<br />

seconds per month.<br />

5/6-Second Precision Pendulum Clock – Metallica 1735<br />

A precision pendulum clock doesn’t always need to have a<br />

one-second pendulum and be one and a half meters tall to<br />

measure time accurately. The <strong>Erwin</strong> <strong>Sattler</strong> manufactory has<br />

long years of experience with 5/6-second pendulum clocks.<br />

Because of the Metallica 1735’s shorter pendulum, its second<br />

hand takes six steps every five seconds.<br />

Its simple, elegant case is decorated with fine metal inlays,<br />

then coated with thirteen layers of varnish, and finally<br />

high-polished by hand. A window on top allows light to<br />

illuminate the escapement of the open movement, and antireflective<br />

glass panes allow you to admire its fascinating<br />

mechanics. The clock’s winding crank and fine regulation<br />

weights are located in a hidden shelf on the bottom of<br />

the case.<br />

Twenty years’ experience in precision pendulum clock<br />

making is included in this movement. All milled parts, such as<br />

the base plates, the four-legged escape wheel bridge, the<br />

counterweight for the minute hand, and, of course, the gear<br />

wheels are manufactured by in-house precision millers, and<br />

then finished and finally gold- or nickel-plated.<br />

The pallet lever is naturally outfitted with agate pallets, and all<br />

wheels run on jewel or ball bearings. Thanks to minimized<br />

friction in the gear train and with the help of a tungsten<br />

weight suspended on a filigreed ball bearing rope pulley, this<br />

clock also has a power reserve of thirty days per winding<br />

interval.<br />

The silver-plated dial with hand-domed and blued hands<br />

is framed by a solid, polished, nickel-plated brass bezel.<br />

Thanks to its noble elegance and excellent quality, the<br />

Metallica 1735 will not only occupy a special place of honor<br />

in your home, it will also impressively demonstrate the<br />

art of classic clockmaking to future generations.<br />

of our successful precision 1935 model, 500 of which have<br />

been manufactured in the last eighteen years.<br />

This model represents the joining of the traditional art of<br />

horology with timeless design. The Classica Secunda 1985<br />

model is an example of exclusive wall art for the office,<br />

conference rooms, entryways, and living rooms.<br />

A total of three beveled glass panes allow a fascinating view<br />

of the clock’s technology, and an additional window on top<br />

allows light to illuminate the movement from above.<br />

This clock is an extremely accurate timekeeper whose<br />

maximum rate deviation is not more than one to two seconds<br />

per month under optimal conditions.<br />

To prevent larger rate deviations, which can be caused by<br />

fluctuations in temperature and air pressure, an aneroid<br />

barometric display has been added to the pendulum. Changes<br />

in the Classica Secunda 1985’s Superinvar pendulum length<br />

that are caused by temperature are compensated by a<br />

precisely calculated, freely swinging compensation pipe.<br />

A weight located to the side with an elegant guide pulley in<br />

a jewel bearing makes a power reserve of 30 days possible.<br />

All movement components such as plates, pillars, pallet<br />

bridges and cocks, gear wheels, and chatons are milled<br />

and turned in small numbers in our manufactory. Many of<br />

the components are finished by hand and decorated with<br />

gold-plating.<br />

The precisely calculated shape of the gear wheel teeth and<br />

the great number of ball or jewel bearings reduce wear to<br />

a minimum and guarantee the lifespan of a <strong>Sattler</strong> precision<br />

pendulum clock for generations.<br />

The production of the case also illustrates the unique<br />

fascination of this pendulum clock, manufactured with great<br />

attention to detail. The application of thirteen layers of varnish<br />

alone takes the case’s carpenter just about two weeks<br />

and includes several polishing steps in between that are<br />

performed by hand.<br />

The winding crank, fine adjustment weights, and additional<br />

accessories are hidden in a secret compartment in the bottom<br />

of the case.<br />

Detailed Technology Made Clear – Classica Secunda 1995 – Timelessly Modern Design<br />

At first glance, the Classica Secunda 1985 and 1995 models<br />

may seem like the same clocks. Their cases and various wood<br />

versions are identical on both, as is the pendulum. With the<br />

development and production of the Classica Secunda 1995<br />

model, <strong>Erwin</strong> <strong>Sattler</strong> is impressively continuing the grand<br />

tradition of precision pendulum clocks. The skeletonized<br />

subdial for seconds and the movement’s open front plate<br />

enable a view of the gold-plated gear wheels and the<br />

Graham escapement with its agate pallets.<br />

An especially loving detail is the domed and polished starshaped<br />

gear wheel bridge crafted in stainless steel that is<br />

secured with polished, blued screws.<br />

Another difference between this and model 1985 is the<br />

sophisticated ball bearing rope pulley for the winding weight.<br />

The highly precise movement, whose sole function is to<br />

accurately measure time, achieves a rate deviation of only<br />

one to two seconds per month.<br />

In order to achieve this demanding task, the 30-day movement<br />

is uncompromisingly designed and executed. The gold-plated<br />

gear wheels turn with arbors made of special Swedish<br />

steel in five ball bearings and eleven jewel bearings on two<br />

base plates crafted in four-millimeter-strong hard brass,<br />

increasing the movement’s effectiveness and longevity. The<br />

bearing jewels are crafted in extremely hard synthetic ruby<br />

and embedded in diamond-turned chatons screw-mounted to<br />

the base plate with three polished stainless steel screws.<br />

The plates are finely finished and decorated with shiny<br />

nickel plating providing especially beautiful contrast to the<br />

gold-plated gear wheels. The Graham escapement with its<br />

jewel pallets guarantees constant transmission of energy to the<br />

pendulum. When the clock is being wound, a so-called<br />

power-maintaining mechanism drives the pendulum.<br />

This timepiece’s fine poire hands were also created with<br />

traditional models in mind. They are domed, polished, and<br />

blued with precise hand-craftsmanship.<br />

It takes about two years to manufacture all the components<br />

needed for the small series of maximum ten handmade<br />

<strong>Sattler</strong> clocks. Justifiably, these ticking treasures are viewed<br />

throughout the world as the high art of clockmaking.<br />

On this clock, a glass pane on top also allows light to enter<br />

the case and illuminate the movement from above. Accessory<br />

parts are stored in the bottom of the case.<br />

The New Precision Pendulum Clock with Calendar and Moon Phase Indication<br />

With the development and production of the Secunda Lunaris<br />

model, the <strong>Erwin</strong> <strong>Sattler</strong> manufactory carries its grand<br />

tradition of precision pendulum clocks impressively into<br />

the future. This new movement features sweep minute and<br />

hour hands, while the second hand is located in an off-center<br />

position above the cutaway.<br />

Slightly below the center of the silver-plated dial there are<br />

two smaller subsidiary dials displaying the day and the date.<br />

Positioned precisely below the middle in another cutaway,<br />

a beautifully hand-painted moon disk indicates the current<br />

moon phase. The cutaway within the display for the seconds<br />

and a recess in the plate allow a view of the gold-plated<br />

gear wheels and the Graham deadbeat escapement with its<br />

agate pallets.<br />

An especially loving detail is the star-shaped escape wheel<br />

bridge secured with polished screws. The highly polished<br />

plates are nickel-plated, providing an especially beautiful<br />

contrast to the gold-plated gear wheels. During winding, a -<br />

so-called power-maintaining mechanism drives the pendulum.<br />

This clock is an extremely accurate timekeeper whose<br />

maximum rate deviation is no more than one to two seconds<br />

per month under optimum conditions. To prevent greater<br />

rate deviation, which can be caused by fluctuations in<br />

temperature and air pressure, an aneroid capsule instrument<br />

with barometric display is attached to the pendulum.<br />

A precisely calculated, freely moving compensation tube<br />

compensates for temperature-related changes in the length<br />

of the pendulum rod, which is made of a special alloy called<br />

Superinvar.<br />

The fine Breguet-style hands are manufactured in the classic<br />

manner, painstakingly domed, polished, and blued by hand.<br />

Like the successful Classica Secunda model, the Secunda<br />

Lunaris is graced with a ball bearing rope pulley for the<br />

winding weight. Additionally, a window in the top of this clock<br />

allows illumination of the movement from above. Accessories<br />

are discreetly stored in an integrated compartment in the<br />

bottom of the case.<br />

Secunda Accurata 1958 – Improved Free Strasser Escapement<br />

This model embodies our demand upon ourselves to create<br />

a purely mechanical precision pendulum clock representing<br />

the best in reliability and accuracy that can technically be<br />

achieved. To reach this goal, we pay the greatest attention to<br />

every detail in design and subsequent manufacture. Therefore,<br />

after being produced by the most modern machines, all<br />

components are carefully finished by hand, the brass parts<br />

gold-plated and the steel parts polished and some blued.<br />

The 1958 model continues the<br />

tradition of the world’s best mechanical<br />

timepieces and represents the climax<br />

of precision clockmaking in our<br />

manufactory.<br />

The design of this newly developed<br />

30-day movement containing a visible<br />

free Strasser escapement does not<br />

need to shy away from being<br />

compared with vintage movements<br />

and is even superior to them in its<br />

precise manufacture using the most<br />

modern technologies.<br />

An example of the 1958 has been on exhibit at the<br />

permanent exhibition of timekeeping instruments in Munich’s<br />

Deutsches Museum since 1996.<br />

To ensure that <strong>Sattler</strong> Caliber1958 functions perfectly for<br />

decades, the gear train and escapement parts move on<br />

jewel and ball bearings to minimize friction.<br />

All brass parts such as the heavy base plates, the bridges and<br />

cocks, the pillars, and naturally the gear wheels are precisely<br />

milled, finished, and then gold-plated for permanent protection.<br />

Of course, only hardened, polished steel pinions with a<br />

high number of teeth are used. These steps are taken to<br />

considerably reduce wear within<br />

the movement. And we need only<br />

a small driving weight to achieve a<br />

power reserve of thirty days.<br />

The free escapement invented by<br />

Prof. Strasser is a technical specialty<br />

that decouples the pendulum from the<br />

gear train so that it oscillates almost<br />

freely.<br />

This pendulum clock’s unique technology<br />

naturally deserves a correspondingly<br />

attractive and high-quality case. We<br />

have fitted a curved five-millimeter-thick<br />

piece of mineral crystal into a stable metal-and-wood frame<br />

and secured it to a very solid black-varnished back with hinges<br />

and fasteners manufactured in-house. A mirror-polished<br />

walnut root wood tray is fitted into its center.<br />

The bottom of the case holds accessories like the winding<br />

crank and fine adjustment weights. A rubber gasket encircling<br />

the case optimally protects the clock from dust.<br />

Vibrations and shocks transmitted to the pendulum and its<br />

spring can have a negative effect. In order to avoid shocks to<br />

the pendulum and the movement when opening or closing the<br />

case, it has been removed from direct contact with the case<br />

and secured to a stable plate on the case back.<br />

28 29


Secunda Accurata 1958<br />

Air pressure compensation.<br />

In order to avoid a change in the period of oscillation when<br />

the air pressure changes, the pendulum is outfitted with an<br />

air pressure compensation device. If air pressure increases,<br />

the period of oscillation is lengthened. With five aneroid<br />

capsules and a precisely calculated weight that moves up or<br />

down corresponding to the changes in air pressure, these<br />

influences and thus a change in the period of oscillation are<br />

compensated.<br />

Temperature compensation.<br />

The rate precision of a pendulum clock<br />

does not exclusively depend upon the<br />

mechanical properties of the mechanism,<br />

but also on external physical influences.<br />

The pendulum’s period of oscillation<br />

is primarily determined by its length.<br />

Variations in temperature, however,<br />

result in a corresponding change in the<br />

materials used to create the pendulum.<br />

The pendulum rod of the Secunda<br />

Accurata 1958 is made of an ironnickel<br />

alloy called Superinvar, a material<br />

that can boast minimal linear expansion<br />

upon temperature change. In order to<br />

compensate for residual expansion as<br />

well, the pendulum is equipped with<br />

a temperature compensation device.<br />

Rate deviations of less than one second<br />

per month can be achieved with this<br />

clock.<br />

Titanium lever for energy transmission<br />

The function of the free Strasser escapement.<br />

The escapement of a clock, comprising the pallet assembly<br />

and the escape wheel, is the connecting link between the<br />

gear train and the oscillation system. The pendulum receives<br />

energy from the escapement, some of which gets lost due to<br />

friction in the suspension and air resistance. Until the free<br />

Strasser escapement was invented, the so-called Graham<br />

escapement served as the connecting link between the<br />

pendulum and the gear train. In this escapement, the pallets<br />

and the pendulum form a rather rigid connection via the pallet<br />

fork, the disadvantage being that even the slightest variations<br />

in the driving force are transmitted from the gear train to<br />

the pendulum.<br />

Impulse<br />

pallet<br />

Locking<br />

pallet<br />

Escape wheel<br />

Pendulum drive springs<br />

These energy variations result in a change of the pendulum’s<br />

amplitude of oscillation and thus slightly influence the period<br />

of oscillation. The invention of the free Strasser escapement<br />

made it possible to improve the already excellent rate<br />

accuracy of precision clocks, primarily achieved by decoupling<br />

the movement to a large extent from the oscillating system.<br />

The pendulum only remains linked to the pallets and movement<br />

by the mainspring. Thus, the pendulum is decoupled and<br />

swings nearly freely. The energy necessary to maintain<br />

oscillation is supplied to the pendulum at its fulcrum point by<br />

two thin steel springs pre-tensioned by the interplay between<br />

the escape wheel and the pallets around a precisely defined<br />

angle. Thus, the pendulum is supplied with exactly the same<br />

energy at every half-oscillation – in other words, once every<br />

second. This is why these escapements, like the one found<br />

in our precision pendulum clock Secunda Accurata 1958,<br />

are called constant force escapements.<br />

Opus Temporis<br />

Anniversary Model – Opus Temporis – Precision Pendulum Clock<br />

with Perpetual Calendar and Strike Mechanism<br />

Precisely fifty pieces of this noble timekeeper representing<br />

<strong>Sattler</strong>’s complete know-how are to be manufactured. Serial<br />

numbers from 1 to 50 can be found on the dial.<br />

An »anniversary diamond« shines from between the calendar<br />

displays, giving additional evidence that this is a particularly<br />

special clock.<br />

Now that an <strong>Erwin</strong> <strong>Sattler</strong> precision pendulum clock ticks side<br />

by side with famed historical timekeeping instruments at the<br />

German Museum in Munich, the high standards set by the<br />

manufactory for itself and its employees are much plainer<br />

for all to see.<br />

Thus there was no better time than during the company’s<br />

fiftieth anniversary celebrations to introduce the most unique<br />

precision pendulum clock ever made at the manufactory.<br />

The exceptional element here is the sweep seconds display –<br />

an absolute rarity on clocks, displaying the complete time<br />

from the center of the dial. The five-part dial is also home to<br />

a special kind of moon phase display, the hand-painted ball<br />

of which turns within a funnel, set with small brilliant-cut<br />

diamonds depicting the night sky. The moon phase display is<br />

unusually precise, deviating by less than seven seconds<br />

between each new moon. The exact calculation and design<br />

of the moon phase display originates directly from work done<br />

by Heinrich <strong>Sattler</strong> in 1903. Calculating into the future, the<br />

moon’s orb would only need to be adjusted by one day after<br />

1,000 years. The most outstanding feature of the pendulum<br />

clock is its perpetual calendar, providing information about the<br />

date, day of the week, and month, each via a hand within<br />

a recessed subsidiary dial.<br />

32 33


The integrated strike mechanism is a further highlight; in<br />

conjunction with the calendar design it offers a few special<br />

features such as the fact that the energy needed for the control<br />

of the calendar displays comes from the strike train.<br />

In order to achieve this, the calendar’s 24-hour wheel meshes<br />

with the strike train wheels. The advantage of this design is<br />

that the actual changing of the day, date, and month takes<br />

place during the 12 o’clock chime exactly at midnight and<br />

only lasts about fifteen seconds.<br />

The movement therefore only has to supply enough power to<br />

start the strike train, an advantage as far as the clock’s rate<br />

precision is concerned. In comparison to a »jumping«<br />

perpetual calendar, this model has the advantage of increased<br />

functional security since the operating lever is guided rather<br />

than jumping.<br />

Opus Temporis<br />

As if that weren’t enough, this anniversary clock also makes<br />

the time audible. A rack strike train, whose dial train is<br />

mounted on the back of the movement, signals half and full<br />

hours with the aid of a very long tubular gong.<br />

Hidden within a resonance chamber on the back of the clock,<br />

it guarantees a beautiful, full sound.<br />

The use of modern technologies such as ball bearings and<br />

classic ruby bearings optimizes efficiency. Solid brass plates,<br />

which can be up to 5 mm thick, and sturdy pillars lend the<br />

frame the necessary stability. The interplay of delicate,<br />

decorative polishing with polished stainless steel screws<br />

lifts this movement into the premium class optically as well as<br />

functionally.<br />

The twenty-four elegantly shaped gear wheels are milled at<br />

the manufactory in a multi-step process, after which they are<br />

gold-plated to protect them from oxidation. Within the<br />

movement, they are located upon solid, fully hardened<br />

steel shafts with precisely milled pinions. Computer-aided<br />

design guarantees optimum energy transmission within the<br />

gear trains.<br />

The attainable rate precision of about one to two seconds per<br />

month is possible primarily because of the fastidious attention<br />

to detail in the design of the pendulum. The pendulum rod is<br />

made of Superinvar, an alloy that is especially resistant to temperature<br />

fluctuation. <strong>Sattler</strong> maintains its own measurement<br />

laboratory for quality control – the only one of its kind in the<br />

world. Here, technicians are able to simulate a wide range<br />

of environmental influences, all within consistent parameters.<br />

The data collected during these controlled experiments<br />

enables rate deviations caused by differences in air<br />

pressure and temperature to be calculated in advance.<br />

Thirteen coats of black varnish and metal inlays finish the<br />

case. The inlay in the back of the clock is crafted in<br />

macassar and polished to a mirror finish. Cases made of<br />

other precious woods are also available.<br />

The more than 600 individual components of the movement<br />

and pendulum are bathed in a secretive light thanks to two<br />

LED lamps located in the roof of the case that are supplied<br />

with electricity from an integrated rechargeable battery.<br />

Discovering this <strong>Sattler</strong> clock will lay the foundation for a<br />

family tradition that can be passed on with pride from generation<br />

to generation.<br />

Fine Regulator Pulley Clocks<br />

We know that not everyone has room for a large clock<br />

containing a one-second pendulum. We also know that there<br />

are people who prefer smaller, more modest clocks even if<br />

they have the room. The <strong>Erwin</strong> <strong>Sattler</strong> manufactory therefore<br />

offers an interesting range of different regulators. From classic<br />

Vienna regulators to modern timekeepers, they all possess<br />

the attributes of a fine precision instrument, but are housed in<br />

clearly smaller cases thanks to their more quickly oscillating<br />

beat-keepers.<br />

Timekeepers like this can be integrated into almost every<br />

living space. A piece of wall is enough to give this ticking<br />

work of art a place to unfold. Regardless of whether your<br />

interior design is inspired by the past or the present, every one<br />

of our regulators will magically draw the eye to it. Providing<br />

an instant topic of conversation, all of its components are<br />

manufactured by hand and with German precision. This type<br />

of craftsmanship has become rare in this era, at a time when<br />

mass production often lends time a different kind of face.<br />

In addition to the aspect of craftsmanship, there is another,<br />

no less important difference: your <strong>Erwin</strong> <strong>Sattler</strong> regulator will<br />

still exude genuine fascination and retain its value when many<br />

other things no longer exist.<br />

The shape of the precious movement<br />

found in <strong>Sattler</strong>’s smallest regulators<br />

precisely corresponds to the lovingly<br />

manufactured movements found at the<br />

beginning of the nineteenth century.<br />

That era’s quality features – such as<br />

hardened steel components and hard<br />

brass for the base plates, pallet<br />

bridges and minute wheel cocks milled<br />

from solid material, and cylindrical<br />

steel pins for the pillars – are used by<br />

us in the same way they were in<br />

vintage movements. Additionally, our<br />

movements are equipped with seven<br />

jewel and two ball bearings. Thus,<br />

friction is further reduced and a very<br />

small weight can supply enough energy<br />

for a week, ensuring the clocks a long<br />

life that will last for generations.<br />

Classica 60 – <strong>Erwin</strong> <strong>Sattler</strong>’s Smallest Regulators<br />

Thanks to their quiet ticking, the<br />

charming »bedroom« regulator<br />

models provide many people with an<br />

entry into the world of exclusive<br />

clocks. They are outfitted with a very<br />

fine and extremely slim movement as<br />

well as a lavish case created by a<br />

master’s hand with fine side trim.<br />

The Classica 60 is available with either<br />

Roman or Arabic numerals on the<br />

dial. The beautiful enamel dials with<br />

their filigreed blued steel hands and<br />

solid brass bezel lend these delicate<br />

clocks a unique charm. The production<br />

of the enamel dials alone is an art in<br />

itself: the material, which is difficult to<br />

work with, needs to be fired four<br />

times during the production process<br />

before a perfect piece is created.<br />

The timeless classic shape of the case – which gives this clock<br />

its name – goes well with all interior styles. The Classica 60<br />

is available in black varnish or cherry wood, but can also be<br />

purchased – like all our models – in individual hues, such as<br />

blue varnish, for a surcharge.<br />

Classica S 70 – The Best of a Timeless Clockmaking Tradition<br />

The <strong>Sattler</strong> Classica S 70 is a pendulum clock containing<br />

a so-called strike train, housed within a case that is timeless<br />

and elegant. Two versions are available: black varnish with<br />

nickel-plated metal elements or maple with jacaranda inlay<br />

and black lacquered molding.<br />

This clock’s wonderful look is complemented by two<br />

blued steel hands that display the hours and minutes on a<br />

precious enamel dial, giving the 70-centimeter Classica S 70<br />

its equally characteristic and timeless appearance.<br />

The Classica S 70 integrates itself perfectly into its surroundings,<br />

becoming a unique eye-catcher in the middle of a classical<br />

environment or in a room decorated with extravagant chrome<br />

and steel furniture.<br />

This clock, outfitted with a week’s worth of power reserve,<br />

looks fantastic from every perspective. <strong>Sattler</strong> Caliber 1400-4<br />

is a classic strike mechanism in every regard. Its traditional<br />

design and finish guarantee reliable functions for generations<br />

– just as the original Vienna regulators were two hundred<br />

years ago.<br />

The front base plate is secured to the pillars by so-called<br />

locking pins as are all the levers of the strike mechanism on<br />

the strike mechanism’s pillars. This design results in consistent<br />

precision and highest reliability of the strike mechanism’s<br />

controls. The complete gear train is outfitted with fourteen<br />

jewel and four ball bearings, significantly contributing to the<br />

movement’s longevity.<br />

An additional technical feature of the Classica S 70 is that<br />

the owner has the opportunity to activate the strike mechanism<br />

manually up to the fiftieth minute by pulling a silk string located<br />

on the exterior of the case, thus allowing the previous hour to<br />

repeat. The result is a unique auditory joy thanks to <strong>Sattler</strong>’s<br />

own strike movement.<br />

A Full Month of Power Reserve – Classica S 100 – More Than 200 Years Tradition<br />

One has to listen very carefully to the <strong>Sattler</strong> Classica S 100<br />

in order to hear the passing of the minutes and seconds.<br />

Alongside the especially quiet ticking, it is the elegantly small<br />

pendulum swing and the extremely thin case that are the<br />

outstanding traits of this classic <strong>Sattler</strong> clock. In the case bottom<br />

is a small drawer located where you can find the windding<br />

key.<br />

Even in the previous century, quiet timekeepers such as the<br />

<strong>Sattler</strong> Classica S 100 with its 30-day movement were<br />

considered absolute rarities among pendulum clocks. Today,<br />

<strong>Erwin</strong> <strong>Sattler</strong> has succeeded in resurrecting classic movement<br />

design and the outstanding quality associated with the<br />

tradition of classic Vienna movements. Very unique, flat movements<br />

with thick base plates as well as noticeably small<br />

weights were typical for these precious regulators, both then<br />

and now. Thanks to an extremely high effectiveness of the<br />

gear train, it is nonetheless possible to supply the movement<br />

with enough energy for a whole month.<br />

Heavily contributing to this incomparable quality are, of<br />

course, the precision machines used in today’s production<br />

and the use of fourteen jewel bearings and eight precision<br />

miniature ball bearings. As a whole, these lend the clock an<br />

accuracy that could not have been achieved one hundred<br />

years ago. The result is clearly higher torque as well as<br />

components that work almost without wear. The use of hard<br />

brass as well as hardened pivots and steel parts also<br />

contribute to securing the longevity of <strong>Sattler</strong> Caliber 1525-4<br />

for generations.<br />

Only a few clocks tick so remarkably quietly and subtlety<br />

as the Classica K 100 by <strong>Sattler</strong>. Clocks such as this with<br />

30-day movements and little noise were true rarities even more<br />

than 150 years ago.<br />

In this era, clock manufactory <strong>Erwin</strong> <strong>Sattler</strong> has succeeded in<br />

maintaining the grand tradition of classic Vienna movements,<br />

reviving their outstanding quality. Alongside new technical<br />

possibilities now available to all fourteen<br />

of <strong>Sattler</strong>’s clock makers, it is the<br />

above-average craftsmanship skills, sensitivity<br />

for materials and processes, and<br />

extensive horological experience that<br />

are just as important today as in the past.<br />

In <strong>Sattler</strong>’s small but excellently outfitted<br />

workshop, all these qualities shape the<br />

Classica K 100 into a true <strong>Sattler</strong><br />

classic: a clock outfitted with one<br />

month’s power reserve and a calendar mechanism. Handblued<br />

steel hands indicate the time, day, and date on a<br />

silver-plated dial.<br />

Individual moon phases are also displayed on a handpainted<br />

disk. The effect that the earth’s satellite has on our life<br />

is something that has captivated people of all eras. This has<br />

not changed until now; the pale terrestrial satellite is in many<br />

ways responsible for our quality of life: the tides and<br />

the influence of full moon on our sleep patterns are just two of<br />

these natural phenomena.<br />

The Classica K 100 moon phase clock by the <strong>Sattler</strong><br />

manufactory is available in noble yew wood with jacaranda<br />

inlays and black-varnished molding or alternately in black<br />

varnish with nickel-plated metal elements.<br />

The regulator pulley clock with a one-month movement<br />

ranks among the classics of the <strong>Sattler</strong> collection. While the<br />

Classica K 100 is outfitted with calendar function and moon<br />

phase display, the two driving weights of the Classica S 100<br />

allow one to immediately recognize that it is outfitted with a<br />

striking movement. Reacting to frequent requests from<br />

horological connoisseur circles desiring a striking clock with<br />

calendar and thirty days of power reserve, we have<br />

developed this new clock. The Classica KS 100 not only<br />

shows the date and the day of the week with its hands, but<br />

also acoustically and subtly chimes the time, striking one tone<br />

on the half-hour and the full number of tones on the hour<br />

on one fine gong.<br />

The calendar and the strike train are positioned on the front<br />

plate, directly beneath the silver-plated dial. There are two<br />

variations to choose from, and the matching blued steel hands<br />

are additionally available to match the Roman or Arabic hour<br />

numerals. The hand-painted moon disk has been moved<br />

from its previous 12 o’clock position to the lower edge of the<br />

dial. Thus, we were able to add the S 100’s display of<br />

seconds here.<br />

Two Clocks in One – Classica KS 100<br />

Naturally, this new <strong>Sattler</strong> manufacture movement is outfitted<br />

with fourteen jewel bearings and eight precision ball<br />

bearings. Thanks to this, we were able to achieve a nearly<br />

friction-free movement destined to last for generations.<br />

Though for years we have been making the bezel from<br />

solid brass, here for the first time we see the pendulum bob<br />

created from a thick disk of brass as well.<br />

Fortunately, the new, much more<br />

complicated movement has<br />

enough room in the case of the<br />

original model crafted in<br />

ebony or black piano lacquer<br />

with a depth of only 11 cm.<br />

Elegantia K 100<br />

– Including Strike Mechanism – – Including Calendar Mechanism –<br />

Pyramid mahogany<br />

Silver-plated dial<br />

The Elegantia is a combination of late baroque style elements<br />

and a classic clean design, which at the beginning of<br />

the nineteenth century led to the Biedermeier interior<br />

decorating style. From about 1815, Biedermeier-style furniture<br />

embellished living rooms in Bavarian mansions. Viennese<br />

aristocrats and high society also loved this interior style, which<br />

emanated a simple charm.<br />

Elegantia S 100 – Including a Strike Mechanism.<br />

This clock’s <strong>Sattler</strong> Caliber1525-4 is identical in design and<br />

function to the Classica S 100. Thus, it is a 30-day regulator<br />

with an hour repeater strike movement. Very unique, flat<br />

movements with thick base plates as well as noticeably small<br />

weights are typical for these precious regulators, both then<br />

and now. Thanks to an extremely high effectiveness of the<br />

gear train, it is nonetheless possible to supply the movement<br />

with enough energy for a whole month.<br />

The use of hard brass as well as hardened pivots and<br />

steel parts also contribute to securing the longevity of <strong>Sattler</strong><br />

Caliber 1525-4 for generations. The Viennese hands are<br />

blued upon a brass plate in traditional clockmaker manner.<br />

The clock’s precious dial is completed by a solid brass bezel<br />

framing the enamel dial that has been fired four times.<br />

Another special technical element is the fact that the owner<br />

has the opportunity to activate the strike mechanism manually<br />

up to the fiftieth minute by pulling a silk string located on<br />

the exterior of the case, thus allowing the previous hour to<br />

repeat. The result is a unique auditory joy thanks to <strong>Sattler</strong>’s<br />

own strike movement. It is also possible to turn off the<br />

repeating mechanism.<br />

Elegantia – Wallclock in Empire Style<br />

The Elegantia’s case is crafted in very valuable pyramid<br />

mahogany. Its hand-polished door frame is fitted into the case<br />

trim on the sides – a difficult and artistic piece of carpentry.<br />

The invigorating mahogany case and its fine Empire-style<br />

maple inlays are crafted by a loving hand corresponding<br />

to our policy of quality and then varnished in a two-week<br />

varnishing and sanding process that includes thirteen<br />

separate layers.<br />

Elegantia K 100 – Including a Calendar Mechanism.<br />

Contrary to the S 100, the K 100 is equipped with <strong>Sattler</strong><br />

Caliber 1565-4. This calendar movement has a power<br />

reserve of thirty days and displays not only day and date with<br />

separate handmade blued hands on a silver-plated dial,<br />

but also a hand-painted disk illustrating the individual<br />

phases of the moon.<br />

Naturally, all the quality features mentioned for the other<br />

calibers are also found in this movement, such as hard brass<br />

for the base plates, hardened stems and pivots, and seven<br />

jewel and four ball bearings.<br />

For centuries bracket, mantel, and console clocks have been<br />

a fixed element of interior decoration. These are timekeepers<br />

that look just right on any even surface. Their movements are<br />

regulated by either a short pendulum<br />

or an oscillating balance, the balance<br />

spring of which ensures that after<br />

the inversion point is reached the<br />

pendulum energetically swings back.<br />

Their appearance was influenced for<br />

one by the style of their era and for<br />

another by their intended use, with<br />

decorative and functional aspects<br />

dominating.<br />

During the Renaissance, table clocks<br />

were outfitted with numerous calendar<br />

and other astronomical displays<br />

alongside the hands showing the<br />

hours and minutes. Sophisticated art<br />

connoisseurs impressively demonstrated their interest in the<br />

progression of science with them. <strong>Erwin</strong> <strong>Sattler</strong> maintains this<br />

Table Clocks<br />

long tradition with a collection of table and wall clocks.<br />

It is not necessary to point out that these models have also<br />

been manufactured using exquisite manufacture techniques.<br />

All of the movements we use, even<br />

those containing spring barrels and<br />

escapements, are made in-house.<br />

These clocks’ level of quality is<br />

precisely the same as for our<br />

precision clocks. The technicians and<br />

clockmakers working with Richard<br />

Müller use all their skill to lend these<br />

timekeepers a respectable degree<br />

of rate precision.<br />

Alongside the movements, the<br />

dials, hands, and simple cases<br />

are manufactured with the<br />

greatest care. Every detail is given<br />

proper consideration – the name<br />

<strong>Erwin</strong> <strong>Sattler</strong> on the dial has stood for uncompromising<br />

quality since 1903.<br />

Metrica<br />

Fine, Elegant Lines – Metrica – A Timelessly Beautiful Table Clock<br />

Whether in a prestigious office or surrounded by valuable<br />

paintings, the Metrica table or mantel clock is an excellent<br />

time accessory for any space. The modern case featuring<br />

metal inlays is the result of permanent development of existing<br />

models and the use of contemporary materials. On the basis<br />

of a gold-plated gear train, fully developed within the last<br />

five years, <strong>Sattler</strong>’s clockmakers have realized a reliable,<br />

low maintenance, and durable table clock movement in<br />

Caliber 1385.<br />

Walnut, hand-polished Black varnish, hand-polished<br />

Because the energy saved in the mainspring continuously<br />

decreases throughout the fifteen-day power reserve period,<br />

the movement is outfitted with a mechanical constant<br />

force mechanism. This subgroup comprises an extensively<br />

calculated fusee, a fine cable, and the spring barrel. This<br />

component subgroup is not usually included in conventional<br />

movements for economic reasons.<br />

Dimensions: Height 29 cm Width 19.5 cm Depth 12.5 cm<br />

A handmade, blued steel hand located in an additional<br />

segment of the dial clearly displays the status of the<br />

mainspring’s tension. The time, including the seconds and<br />

the date, are also displayed on the silver-plated dial. The<br />

movement not only works perfectly behind the scenes, it can<br />

be seen through the glazed panels of the case. One’s view<br />

automatically goes to the elegant gear wheels made in-house<br />

at the <strong>Erwin</strong> <strong>Sattler</strong> manufactory, which have even been<br />

gold-plated to protect them from oxidation. The wheels are<br />

perched upon solid, hardened steel arbors with precisely milled<br />

pivots. A clock outfitted in this way meets all the expectations<br />

of the traditional art of clockmaking. It is classic, sober, and<br />

unobtrusive, though it remains the highlight of any room.<br />

Stella<br />

Yellow gold-plated<br />

Anniversary Model Stella – The Small, Precious Table Clock<br />

On the occasion of its fiftieth anniversary, <strong>Erwin</strong> <strong>Sattler</strong><br />

presents the table clock Stella (Latin for »star«) in a limited<br />

edition of 150 pieces.<br />

This is the smallest table clock in <strong>Sattler</strong>’s program, but it is<br />

very valuable: corresponding to the color of the case parts,<br />

the gear wheels are plated in rosé gold, yellow gold, or<br />

rhodium (fifty pieces each).<br />

This decorative timepiece underscores the ability of <strong>Sattler</strong>’s<br />

clockmakers to make table clocks that are as precise as they<br />

are elegant.<br />

The filigreed brass design of the case consists of a total of<br />

eleven finely milled and polished parts that are screwed<br />

together. The top and bottom of the case are composed<br />

of two highly polished, black granite plates.<br />

Dimensions: Width 12 cm height 16 cm depth 8 cm<br />

White gold-plated<br />

Three anti-reflective crystals allow a view of the high-quality,<br />

precision <strong>Sattler</strong> manufactory caliber. Thus, in addition to the<br />

mechanics that are really worth seeing, the unique dial is also<br />

an eye-catcher: its base is formed by a plate that has been<br />

guilloché by hand. A cutaway in the dial at 12 o'clock<br />

allows a view of the screw balance.<br />

A grained, silver-plated numeral frame is screwed to the<br />

guilloché dial; the whole construction achieves a threedimensional<br />

effect. The numbers, markers, and polished hands<br />

are crafted in brass plated with rose gold (or yellow gold, or<br />

rhodium, respectively). The overall appearance of the clock<br />

subtly underscores its high quality.<br />

Rosé gold-plated<br />

The precise manufactory caliber with eight days of power<br />

reserve is outfitted with ten milled, gold-plated gear wheels,<br />

twelve precision ball bearings, eleven jewels, and a rhodiumplated<br />

Swiss echappement (escapement and balance on<br />

a separate plate that is screwed to the movement).<br />

The movement is outfitted with a so-called gear stopwork. This<br />

device compensates for the weak front and the strong end of<br />

the elasticity curve, significantly improving the rate. Winding<br />

and hand-setting is done from the back. The small <strong>Sattler</strong> clock<br />

is delivered in a high-quality black case in which it can be<br />

conveniently transported with two doors that open.<br />

A table clock such as this builds a bridge from the past to the<br />

future, enriching the present of its owner by creating his or her<br />

personal living space.<br />

To call the Stellina »the little sister of Stella« would be unjust<br />

to both timekeepers. They do however share a number of<br />

similarities and congruences: their measurements, for example,<br />

are identical – as are the three little disks of glass that allow<br />

an unimpeded view of the manufacture movement, which is<br />

outfitted with a Swiss échappement and a so-called gear<br />

stopwork on both models. The gear stopwork, also simply<br />

known as the stopwork, limits the power reserve of the<br />

movement to precisely eight days cleverly using the middle<br />

tension of the mainspring and allowing for the most precise<br />

rate of the movement.<br />

Stellina<br />

Black varnish and macassar Black and silver varnish<br />

Stellina – the Small Table Clock with Regulator-Dial<br />

Dimensions: Height: 16 cm Width: 12 cm Depth: 8 cm<br />

Naturally, the gear train of the Stellina also comprises ten<br />

milled, gold-plated wheels making their rotations in twelve<br />

precision ball bearings and eleven ruby bearings.<br />

Both of the Stellina’s case variations are crafted in precious<br />

woods. One variation contains a top and base of solid<br />

macassar, while the second variation boasts polished wood<br />

that has been painted silver. The sides of both variations<br />

are lacquered black.<br />

The Stellina boasts the regulator display so often seen in<br />

<strong>Sattler</strong>’s products – a result of the company’s great affinity<br />

for classic precision clocks – which features a large minute<br />

hand and smaller subsidiary dials for hours and seconds.<br />

A polished hand arbor, tempered navy blue steel hands, and<br />

a high-gloss polish on the dial screws discretely underscore<br />

the origins of the Stellina as that of <strong>Sattler</strong>.<br />

The winding key is stored in the case’s base.<br />

Grandfather Clocks<br />

No other timekeeper embodies the tradition of<br />

centuries of vintage craftsmanship better than<br />

a grandfather clock. It embodies the character of a<br />

real piece of furniture and is a synonym for dignity<br />

and comfort. Its ponderous one-second tick conveys<br />

peace and security, and invites one to take a break<br />

from the hectic rush of an everyday life marked<br />

by a lack of time.<br />

Because of its somewhat dominant appearance,<br />

a grandfather clock must be integrated into its<br />

residential environment optimally. The strength of<br />

<strong>Erwin</strong> <strong>Sattler</strong>’s collection is that a matching alternative<br />

can be found for different interior decoration styles.<br />

This does not mean that the style of the living space<br />

and the clock must be the same; only the harmony<br />

of the combination is important. The absolutely<br />

unique Columna Temporis, for example, can be<br />

easily positioned in an environment containing<br />

antique furniture pieces.<br />

This long case clock, more than any other clock by<br />

<strong>Erwin</strong> <strong>Sattler</strong>, proves that the art of mechanical<br />

clockmaking has not nearly reached its limits even<br />

after seven centuries. This clock also impressively<br />

proves that a creative and traditionally minded<br />

manufactory like <strong>Erwin</strong> <strong>Sattler</strong> is necessary to lend<br />

the subject of the grandfather clock topicality in<br />

the twenty-first century. This is something many of<br />

<strong>Sattler</strong>’s contemporaries are no longer able to do.<br />

Columna Temporis<br />

An Entirely New Interpretation of the Long Case Clock – <strong>Sattler</strong>’s Columna Temporis<br />

With the Columna Temporis (»column of time«), the<br />

<strong>Erwin</strong> <strong>Sattler</strong> manufactory has created a work of art that<br />

is going to become a symbol of classic timekeeping for all<br />

connoisseurs of the extraordinary and all aesthetes and friends<br />

of perfect clockmaking.<br />

This clock’s characteristic feature is the complete transparency<br />

of the case surrounding its high-quality components. A blown<br />

mineral crystal dome allows an entirely unobstructed,<br />

fascinating view into the exclusively handmade 30-day<br />

movement featuring a Graham escapement with jewel pallets.<br />

The mineral crystal cylinder located at the bottom of<br />

this »column of time« allows an unobstructed view of the<br />

invar compensation pendulum and its stainless steel<br />

pendulum cylinder. The movement and the crystal cylinder<br />

are firmly anchored on a stainless steel ring. The filigreed,<br />

elegant, transparent design is supported by three pillars<br />

crafted in solid stainless steel. The base of the »column« is<br />

crafted in a black African granite bearing the descriptive<br />

name Nero Assoluto (»absolute black«). This base can be<br />

leveled and adjusted by six stainless steel screws.<br />

One of the characteristic features of our usually meticulously<br />

detailed work is the blued steel hands evident on this clock.<br />

A front view of the clock fascinates the observer above all<br />

with its engraved, silver-plated dial including a cutaway<br />

that allows a direct glance of the beautifully designed<br />

escapement. The jewel pallets of the Graham escapement, the<br />

nine jewel bearings of the gold-plated, screw-mounted<br />

chatons, the five ball bearings for the movement and<br />

rope pulley – characteristics of a well designed movement –<br />

all show evidence of the close relationship this movement<br />

has to <strong>Sattler</strong>’s precision pendulum clocks. This design<br />

receives a fully individual character thanks to its matte,<br />

nickel-plated, five- millimeter-thick brass plates and its<br />

tungsten winding weight.<br />

Excelsia Exclusive Grandfather Clock for Connoisseurs of the Extraordinary – <strong>Sattler</strong> Excelsia<br />

Especially in these busy times of laptops and mobile phones,<br />

more and more people long for some sort of counterbalance<br />

in their lives; searching for the right proportion between body<br />

and soul, one’s own four walls easily become a new place<br />

for relaxation and recreation.<br />

Instead of surrounding oneself with short-lived consumer<br />

articles, you search for things to surround yourself with every<br />

day with much care and attention to detail. Like a <strong>Sattler</strong><br />

Excelsia, which is much more than an alternative to a painting<br />

or a designer hi-fi system. This exclusive grandfather clock is<br />

the absolute embodiment of lifestyle and thus an expression<br />

of individual interior design.<br />

The steady swing of the one-second pendulum and the quiet<br />

noise this mechanical precision instrument makes have<br />

a peaceful effect on everyone who stops to watch. This<br />

perfect piece of ticking interior design is easily integrated<br />

into the ambience of any room.<br />

With an overall height of 185 centimeters, the Excelsia is not<br />

to be missed; however, it is so subtle with its black stained<br />

and varnished case crafted in cherry wood that it looks great<br />

against a wall or in a corner.<br />

The clock, featuring one month’s worth of power reserve in<br />

an extremely flat case – just 12 centimeters deep – draws<br />

attention to itself when it strikes the time on the half-hour. Thus,<br />

the house’s residents always know what time it is – even in<br />

low light conditions. Alternately, the strike movement can<br />

be silenced or repeated as desired.<br />

Dimensions: Height 185 cm Width 29 cm Depth 12 cm<br />

Available with a choice of roman or<br />

modern arabic numerals on an enameled dial<br />

Classica Secunda 2095 – The Precision Grandfather Clock<br />

<strong>Erwin</strong> <strong>Sattler</strong> continues the tradition of precision clocks in<br />

an impressive way with the development and production of<br />

the Classica Secunda 2095 model. A high-precision clock<br />

movement perfectly fits into the newly designed grandfather<br />

clock case. The task of this movement limits itself to one and<br />

only one purpose: accurately displaying the time. With<br />

a deviation of only one to two seconds per month, this<br />

minutely designed and manufactured 30-day movement meets<br />

even the highest expectations.<br />

Milled, gold-plated wheels revolve on arbors crafted in a<br />

special Swedish steel rotating within five stainless steel ball<br />

bearings and eleven jewel bearings. The jewel bearings<br />

are mounted in diamond-cut chatons, each of which are<br />

screw-mounted onto the four-millimeter hard brass plates by<br />

three polished stainless steel screws. A three-kilogram weight<br />

running down the side allows a power reserve of one month<br />

as well as an unimpeded view of the one-second pendulum.<br />

A power-maintaining mechanism additionally continues to<br />

supply the movement with enough energy to run while the<br />

clock is being wound.<br />

In order to guarantee energy transmission but as little wear<br />

as possible, the Graham escapement is equipped with<br />

agate pallets.<br />

The observer can watch the exciting interplay between<br />

the escape wheel and the pallets through a cutaway in the<br />

silver-plated, engraved dial. An especially loving detail is the<br />

hand-domed and -polished stainless steel escape wheel<br />

bridge that is secured to the front base plate with blued<br />

screws. The fine poire hands – indivdually domed, polished,<br />

and blued by hand – are shaped according to historic<br />

examples.<br />

The faceted crystal panes and the walnut inlay of the case<br />

back together with the case’s narrow trim and frame elements<br />

convey an elegant appearance. Another reason for this is<br />

the high quality of thirteen layers of varnish applied over<br />

a period of fourteen days together with several hand<br />

polishing steps.<br />

All these details are united in a harmonious unit to shape<br />

a wonderful grandfather clock, fitting in even the most<br />

exclusive environment.<br />

Troja 16 / Troja 16 Lunaris Troja 16 – The »Legendary« Precision Pendulum Clock Manufactured by <strong>Erwin</strong> <strong>Sattler</strong><br />

According to Greek legend, the city of Troy was tricked by<br />

Greek warriors. They were able to enter the fortified city walls<br />

undetected by hiding themselves in the belly of a wooden<br />

horse, conquering Troy thanks to a clever deception.<br />

The Troja (German for »Troy«) grandfather clock manufactured<br />

by the <strong>Erwin</strong> <strong>Sattler</strong> manufactory possesses all the attributes of<br />

a precision pendulum clock with a deviation of only one to<br />

two seconds per month. Like its historical namesake, it does<br />

contain a secret: a safe hidden in the base of the clock.<br />

This safe possesses the stability and strength required by<br />

German insurance companies to protect its valuable contents<br />

thanks to heavy-duty bolts that can be fastened to a concrete<br />

floor or wall. This is made possible by a double-walled steel<br />

shell, an exceptionally solid door with quadruple bolts and an<br />

electronic, recessed keypad lock. Naturally, <strong>Erwin</strong> <strong>Sattler</strong><br />

innovatively utilized the extra case depth that was created<br />

thanks to the safe. Thus, sixteen remote-controlled,<br />

extendable watch winders are stored in the back<br />

of the case. Together with our technology partner<br />

Beluwo ® , we have developed large new wristwatch<br />

holders to accommodate very large<br />

wristwatches. Every unit is outfitted with its own precision<br />

motor and can be individually programmed using the<br />

integrated keyboard with display or the USB interface.<br />

With the aid of the remote control, you can extend the<br />

lateral watchwinders, switch on the illumination for the clock<br />

movement and unlock the door of the clockbase.<br />

The precision clock itself is a remarkable timepiece as one<br />

would expect from the <strong>Erwin</strong> <strong>Sattler</strong> manufactory. Made of<br />

invar to compensate variations in temperature, the pendulum<br />

at a stately length of one meter swings once every second in<br />

an elegant and calming cadence. At the same time, the hand<br />

on the barometric instrument located on the pendulum reveals<br />

changes in the current air pressure.<br />

The silver-plated dial allowing an unimpeded view of<br />

the peaceful Graham escapement with its agate pallets<br />

underscores the value of the lovingly hand-domed, blued<br />

hands.<br />

The case is available in black varnish with a walnut drawer<br />

in the back wall. It can also be purchased completely in black.<br />

The history of navigation and the<br />

development of marine clocks.<br />

During the Renaissance, mankind<br />

came up with many sensible<br />

solutions to many hard questions<br />

plaguing the human spirit. One<br />

main focus remained the exact<br />

determination of one’s position at<br />

open sea. Geographic latitude<br />

was quite easy to determine by<br />

measuring the vertical angle<br />

between the sun or another fixed star and the horizon. The<br />

necessary tools, such as sextants, were familiar to sailors.<br />

Much more difficult was the determination of the equally<br />

important longitude. At first, seamen estimated their positions<br />

according to their logbook notes. This unfortunately resulted in<br />

week-long odysseys and shipwrecks.<br />

The only authentic really precise method for determining<br />

longitude needed the help of mechanical board chronometers.<br />

It was known at the time that correspondence between the<br />

geographical longitude and the reference time at the last<br />

harbor set by a board clock could determine position: the<br />

location of the stars was determined by the date, the time, and<br />

the longitude. If one knew the first two parameters, the<br />

longitude was the result of the observed positions of the stars.<br />

Marine Clocks<br />

To calculate longitude with the<br />

precision of one arced minute,<br />

the ship’s clock may not deviate<br />

more than one second per day.<br />

This grand challenge led to the<br />

creation of a competition with<br />

attractive monetary prizes for the<br />

precisely defined determination<br />

of longitude. The English<br />

parliament in its 1714 Longitude<br />

Act called for a million-pound<br />

sum as the reward for solving the problem, which raised a<br />

healthy competition. The only true solution was presented by 66year-old<br />

carpenter John Harrison in 1759: his standard-setting<br />

invention went to sea from November 1761 until January 1762.<br />

After a total of 81 days, the heavy H4 pocket watch, weighing<br />

about one and a half kilograms, displayed a deviation of only<br />

five seconds – and the first chronometer was born.<br />

But that’s all in the past. Today, modern electronics and a<br />

global satellite system make orientation possible to the meter.<br />

Nevertheless, it is recommendable to carry an instrument<br />

on board whose batteries do not run out and whose electronic<br />

chips don’t break down: the Nautis and the Navis are<br />

the <strong>Erwin</strong> <strong>Sattler</strong> manufactory’s conventionally ticking,<br />

mechanical precision clocks.<br />

The Nautical Multipurpose Instrument – Carbonautis –<br />

Precise Quartz Clock with Barometer, Thermometer, and Hygrometer<br />

Keeping in step with our present high-tech age, <strong>Erwin</strong> <strong>Sattler</strong><br />

presents the Carbonautis, a multipurpose instrument made<br />

from such modern materials as carbon fiber and aluminum.<br />

In the same way that a high-tech sports car represents the<br />

combination of several elements into a unique whole, these<br />

four instruments are combined into a single elegant and<br />

extraordinary unit.<br />

The clock’s dial and the precision twin barometers are made<br />

of carbon fiber and have two applied, milled, and anodized<br />

aluminum scales. To facilitate the legibility of the changes in<br />

Nautis – <strong>Sattler</strong> Precision at Sea or in Your Own Home<br />

At the <strong>Erwin</strong> <strong>Sattler</strong> manufactory, mechanical precision clocks<br />

have been lovingly manufactured in small series for almost fifty<br />

years. These first-class timekeepers of the art of clockmaking<br />

are among the best of what is available in this genre<br />

worldwide. In this spirit, marine clock Caliber 1395 was<br />

developed over the course of several years.<br />

This movement is simultaneously reliable, low maintenance,<br />

and durable – and meets the highest standards on land and<br />

at sea. Its spring barrel stores energy for an entire fifteen day<br />

period; therefore it only needs to be wound every two weeks.<br />

The precision of any mechanical timekeeper depends on how<br />

constantly energy is transmitted from the spring barrel to the<br />

escapement. Caliber 1395 contains a gold-plated Swiss lever<br />

escapement on the back of the movement, the heart of which<br />

is a classic, certified screw balance that has been regulated<br />

for weeks according to strict criteria and a high-quality<br />

balance spring. Mainsprings have the basic disadvantage<br />

that their torque is not constant from beginning to end.<br />

Naturally, when they are fully wound they contain more energy<br />

than at the end, something that influences the amplitude of<br />

the balance’s oscillations. <strong>Sattler</strong> compensates this with a<br />

very artful, technical trick.<br />

This »trick« involves the most difficult of all solutions that the<br />

physical law of levers can supply. The longer the lever, the<br />

less energy is needed to perform a certain task. To the<br />

contrary, if the lever is short additional energy is needed.<br />

In Caliber 1395, the task of the lever is taken on by a<br />

precisely calculated fusee with a robust steel cable.<br />

The initial spring energy – which is also the strongest –<br />

corresponds to the smallest rotation of the fusee. The slowly<br />

decreasing torque of the mainspring is compensated by the<br />

continuously increasing diameter of the fusee. Because the<br />

fusee rotates backward during the winding process, and the<br />

movement has no energy during this time, the clockmakers<br />

have built an intelligent power-maintaining mechanism into<br />

the movement. Its design was invented by John Harrison,<br />

and it guarantees a constant flow of energy even while the<br />

clock is being wound.<br />

Nautis – a Premium Marine Clock for the Noblest Yachts<br />

As one can imagine, not winding a clock on board a ship<br />

was an inexcusable error. The Nautis will not let you forget to<br />

do this: you cannot help but see a steel hand on a separate<br />

scale indicating the remaining power reserve. To display<br />

our precious time, <strong>Sattler</strong> has chosen the unmistakable classic<br />

regulator dial featuring an off-center hour hand,<br />

like Breguet’s famous marine chronometers were outfitted with<br />

200 years ago. All hands are manually domed, polished,<br />

and blued in perfect craftsmanship. They indicate the time<br />

on a silver-plated dial.<br />

Optionally, a little plate that can be engraved with the name<br />

of the ship or owner is available to be screw-mounted onto<br />

the dial. A classic piece of craftsmanship should not be hidden:<br />

therefore the movement runs inside a water-resistant,<br />

nickel-plated bronze case outfitted with impressive panoramastyle<br />

crystals. Thus, the elegant gear wheels are shown in<br />

the best light. <strong>Erwin</strong> <strong>Sattler</strong> mills its gears in an intensive<br />

production process. Additionally, these artistic little treasures<br />

are gold-plated for permanent protection from oxidation.<br />

The movement’s twelve precision ball bearings and eleven<br />

synthetic jewel bearings serve to lend the movement a<br />

long life.<br />

A clock designed and equipped in this way meets every<br />

demand on classic craftsmanship. Additionally, this clock is an<br />

eye-catcher on every yacht and naturally in every living room.<br />

Navis<br />

The Navis marine clock will bring some nautical romance to<br />

your boat. Nostalgic ticking combined with contemporary<br />

technology are the elements characterizing Caliber 2008.<br />

The case is made of solid, robust bronze, which is ensuingly<br />

nickel-plated. Naturally, all components of the case joined with<br />

screws are sealed with O-rings to protect the milled wheels,<br />

hardened pinions, and the twelve ball bearings from moisture.<br />

The precisely manufactured <strong>Sattler</strong> movement is outfitted with<br />

a so-called gear stopwork. This feature ensures that the weak<br />

A combination with barometer, Navis and thermometer.<br />

front and strong back of the elasticity curve does not affect the<br />

movement’s rate. During the course of its eight days of power<br />

reserve, the Navis displays very good rate results. In order<br />

to wind the clock with a key, the solid bezel only has to<br />

be opened by its bayonet catch.<br />

The handmade, blued hands are protected by anti-reflective<br />

mineral crystal. A cutaway in the dial makes an unimpeded<br />

view of the Swiss lever escapement’s screw balance possible.<br />

Optionally, an name plate can be added to the silver-plated dial.<br />

Available in two-tone version with rosé gold-plated bezel and base plate.<br />

The Navis 24 is different from the Navis in two additional<br />

functions. For one, the Navis 24 is outfitted with a second<br />

time zone, a practical complication for nautical purposes<br />

because it enables the seaman to set the 24-hour hand<br />

use on land, any desired second time zone can be<br />

selected. Another element of <strong>Sattler</strong> Caliber 2008-24 is<br />

its date display.<br />

Navalis with name plate<br />

It is no longer necessary to have to do without the wonderful<br />

view of lovingly manufactured timekeepers on smaller boats<br />

with limited space.<br />

The case of the Navalis model is crafted in solid brass, finely<br />

polished, and nickel-plated. The glass pearl-blasted,<br />

silver-plated dial and the lovingly handmade, blued hands<br />

are protected by a mineral crystal.<br />

Navalis<br />

Navalis – <strong>Erwin</strong> <strong>Sattler</strong>’s Smallest Marine Clock<br />

Additionally, the quartz-driven Navalis model is housed in<br />

the same case as our nautical instruments and can therefore<br />

be perfectly combined with them.<br />

Optionally a plate can be offered for example with the name<br />

of the ship or its owner and then screw-mounted onto the dial.<br />

Dimensions: Diameter 11.5 cm Depth 4 cm Weight 0.5 kg<br />

Available in two-tone version with rosé gold-plated bezel and base plate.<br />

Nautical<br />

Instruments<br />

At sea, meteorological information plays just as important<br />

a role as the time. For this reason, <strong>Sattler</strong> has added<br />

adequately designed and manufactured instruments to the<br />

company’s marine clocks.<br />

A thermometer displays the temperature in Celsius or<br />

Fahrenheit as desired and an aneroid barometer possesses<br />

an additional hand to mark the actual air pressure in hPa<br />

or inches as selected. The third instrument is a precision<br />

hygrometer that illustrates relative humidity in percentages<br />

using so-called Supratherm technology.<br />

The clearly smaller and thinner cases of this trio of additional<br />

instruments are crafted in solid brass, finely polished, and<br />

nickel-plated to a shiny finish for protection from corrosion.<br />

Three screws allow the cases to be securely fastened on<br />

board. A simple hanging device in the back is provided<br />

for mounting at home. As usual on <strong>Sattler</strong>’s precision clocks,<br />

the solid brass dials are finely sandblasted after being turned,<br />

silver-plated, and covered with a clear lacquer for protection<br />

from oxidation.<br />

Fine, blued Breguet-style hands with their characteristic<br />

counterweights precisely indicate each of the measurements.<br />

Tempus Mobile<br />

Dimensions: Base diameter 42 cm Height 43 cm Weight approx. 48 kg<br />

Tempus Mobile-Precision Shipclock with World Time Indication and Gimbal Suspension<br />

In the past few years, clock manufactory <strong>Erwin</strong> <strong>Sattler</strong> has<br />

extended its collection to include a department for marine<br />

clocks. The high-quality maritime timekeepers can today be<br />

found in the salons of numerous luxury yachts whose prices<br />

range in the millions.<br />

The newest model of this line developed with a great deal of<br />

imagination is the Tempus Mobile, outfitted with a function<br />

unique in the world – one that has proven itself particularly on<br />

sailing yachts.<br />

A sailboat only remains horizontal in the water if it is running<br />

before the wind, when the wind and the direction of travel<br />

coincide.<br />

All other courses, especially when sailing head to wind,<br />

will see the boat leaning to the side that is positioned away<br />

from the wind. The 43-centimeter-high Tempus Mobile<br />

(Latin for »mobile time«), whose case is held in a gimbaled<br />

ball bearing ring held by three stainless steel columns, displays<br />

the heeling of a sailboat in angular degrees.<br />

The tip of its funnel-shaped case swings between the<br />

rings along a base of polished granite providing a home for<br />

the scale normally delivered with divisions ranging between<br />

0 and 15 degrees. Sporty sailors can request a scale<br />

providing measurements between 0 and 21 degrees.<br />

The permanent world time display is very practical on long<br />

sailing voyages along the lines of latitude: its display ring<br />

on the lower edge of the case cylinder makes one revolution<br />

every 24 hours.<br />

The time is indicated on the unusual clock by a regulator<br />

display (central sweep minute hand, subsidiary dials for hours<br />

and seconds), the previously usual type of display for<br />

observatory clocks and marine chronometers.<br />

Additionally, the Tempus Mobile is outfitted with a power<br />

reserve and 24-hour display. The latter is separately<br />

correctible and can be set to show either a second time zone<br />

or a day/night indication.<br />

Its clock is outfitted with the manufacture movement of the<br />

Nautis marine clock, which brings a good two weeks’ power<br />

reserve with it. A cutaway in the subdial for seconds allows<br />

a view of the balance of the Swiss échappement, a complete<br />

subgroup screw-mounted to the top of the movement that<br />

contains the escapement and the balance.<br />

Tempus Mobile Atlantis<br />

A variation of this concept represents the model<br />

Tempus Mobile Atlantis as module. Here, a twice as big<br />

heeling indication shows a declination of the boat up to<br />

30 degrees. The scale, all rings and the curved pillars are<br />

milled and turned from solid brass and ensuingly handfinished<br />

and nickel plated to a gloss. The clock, mounted in<br />

a gimbal suspension can be fitted and integrated into various<br />

interiours of yachts and homes. A further option is the<br />

equipment with LED illumination.<br />

Columna Atlantis<br />

The Columna Atlantis is both a magnificent piece of art and<br />

a design object. Based on the Tempus Mobile Atlantis model,<br />

this masterpiece is certain to attract the wondering eyes of<br />

every observer right to it.<br />

The base, a six-centimeter-thick plate of granite leveled by<br />

six regulating screws, contains the rechargeable battery<br />

that allows the clock’s total of 24 LED lamps to bathe it in a<br />

secretive light. The gimbaled suspension of the precision<br />

world time clock comprises four high-polished, curved<br />

columns milled from carbon fiber and aluminum.<br />

Wristwatches<br />

A Very Small Clock<br />

The wristwatch Regulateur Classica Secunda and the<br />

anniversary clock set Trilogie are exact miniature versions of<br />

the very successful wall clock Classica Secunda 1985.<br />

Its regulator dial aside, it contains all the characteristics of a<br />

fine mechanical wristwatch: Like the original, this wristwatch’s<br />

dial is made of solid sterling silver (925/000) and sports<br />

four screws.<br />

The regulator dial with its subsidiary seconds at 12 o’clock,<br />

hours at 6 o’clock, and large central minute hand is just as<br />

naturally a part of the <strong>Erwin</strong> <strong>Sattler</strong> collection as are the<br />

invar compensation pendulum and gold-plated gears of a<br />

precision pendulum clock. This exceptional hand placement<br />

is modeled after the especially precise pendulum clocks<br />

found at observatories. When making time comparisons,<br />

it was found that the very wide hour hands on the<br />

observatory’s clocks hid the second hand, the vital link in<br />

precision regulation work. Taking this into consideration,<br />

clock designers therefore created regulator dials with<br />

one main dial for the minute hand, kept very slender,<br />

and two subsidiary dials for hours and seconds –<br />

all of which were completely legible at all times.<br />

Regulateur Classica Secunda<br />

Dimensions:<br />

Diameter 44 mm<br />

Height 15 mm<br />

<strong>Erwin</strong> <strong>Sattler</strong>’s clock specialists give not only the dial special<br />

attention, but also the domed steel hands of this wristwatch<br />

Regulateur. The hands are first hardened and polished.<br />

Finally, they are slowly heated to 295° C, at which point<br />

the hardened steel achieves its coveted deep blue hue. The<br />

hour and minute hands have steel hand sockets with polished<br />

grooves – just as the clocks do.<br />

Special details: Serial number on the dial. Patented jumping<br />

seconds. Regulator dial with hours, minutes, subsidiary jump<br />

seconds. Crown in the shape of a precision clock movement<br />

holder nut, decorated with milled <strong>Sattler</strong> logo. Bezel shape<br />

corresponding to the <strong>Sattler</strong> precision clock bezel.<br />

The Regulateur Classica Secunda was created in cooper ation<br />

with the company Habring Watch Technology.<br />

Only the wheels, escapement parts, and some plates from the<br />

seasoned ETA Valjoux 7750 chronograph caliber are in use<br />

here. All other parts needed for the movement, including the<br />

jumping seconds subgroup, are completely new designs.<br />

The oscillating pinion, an arbor with two differently toothed<br />

gears whose purpose is actually to ensure the energy flow<br />

between movement and chronograph, was cleverly<br />

employed to power an additional mechanism. This<br />

mechanism utilizes several wheels and pinions and a stop<br />

spring, causing the second hand to jump.<br />

Clockmakers at <strong>Erwin</strong> <strong>Sattler</strong> took the automatic movement,<br />

thus modified, assembled it and housed it in a stainless steel<br />

case consisting of both polished and matte components.<br />

Sturdy strap lugs with screw-in bars lend an aura of solidity<br />

and robustness that is underscored by the large crown.<br />

The elaborate modifications to the movement are not its only<br />

value-increasing features; its lovingly finished automatic rotor,<br />

hand-skeletonized and engraved with the company initials<br />

by master engraver Jochen Benzinger, makes each watch<br />

unique.<br />

Hand-sewn remborded leather strap. Double folding clasp<br />

with push-button release, stainless steel with <strong>Sattler</strong> emblem.<br />

Trilogie<br />

Dimensions: Width 33,5 cm height 35 cm depth 22 cm<br />

Version red gold<br />

Anniversary Model Trilogie – All in One<br />

This combination underscores the company’s great diversity:<br />

a <strong>Sattler</strong> precision table clock with fifteen days of power<br />

reserve combined with a programmable <strong>Sattler</strong> Rotalis<br />

watch winder and – a world premiere – the first <strong>Sattler</strong><br />

wristwatch. This package is only available as a complete set<br />

limited to fifty pieces.<br />

The wristwatch’s case is available in a choice of solid white,<br />

yellow, or red gold. All of the Trilogy’s gear wheels and the<br />

dial holders are gold-plated to match the chosen case version.<br />

Highlight 1 of the Trilogy:<br />

Rotalis Precision Watch Winder<br />

The gear train of the Rotalis watch winder is located between<br />

the two movement plates. Its design and technology<br />

corresponds to that of all other <strong>Sattler</strong> watch winders, so it is<br />

freely programmable via a USB interface. It is extremely quiet<br />

and once the winding program is completed, the watch is<br />

left in a vertical position so that it can be read perfectly.<br />

In addition, the clock is illuminated by LED lamps, keeping it<br />

beautiful for the eye at all times.<br />

Naturally, the Trilogy’s Rotalis watch winder is precisely set to<br />

the <strong>Sattler</strong> wristwatch regarding revolutions per day and<br />

rotational direction right from the day of delivery. Of course,<br />

it can also be individually programmed to accommodate any<br />

other automatic wristwatch as well.<br />

The <strong>Sattler</strong> watch can be found in the best location: the center<br />

of the Trilogy where it is optimally supplied with energy by<br />

<strong>Sattler</strong>’s Rotalis<br />

watch winder.<br />

Version white gold<br />

Version yellow gold<br />

Protecting the Trilogy is a large<br />

mineral crystal dome that<br />

moves up and down via<br />

electric motor and spindle<br />

when activated by a contactfree<br />

button hidden in the case.<br />

Highlight 2 of the Trilogy:<br />

Nautis Series Precision Clock<br />

The table clock, equipped with a horizontal regulator<br />

display, which is completely new for <strong>Sattler</strong>, is found directly<br />

above the base. To achieve this, the movement of the <strong>Sattler</strong><br />

Nautis model was extravagantly redesigned so that it is now<br />

positioned below the watch winder and between the plates.<br />

Highlights of the movement include the milled, gold-plated<br />

gear train, set in twelve ball bearings and eleven jewels to<br />

minimize friction. Because the tension of the mainspring is<br />

naturally not even during the power reserve of fifteen days,<br />

<strong>Sattler</strong>’s clockmakers used a method also applied by John<br />

Harrison in the 1700s: a steel cable and fusee to keep<br />

energy constant. A power-maintaining mechanism is also<br />

present to supply the movement with energy, even while it is<br />

being wound. The subsidiary seconds display on the right, the<br />

sweep minute hand, and the date scale hovering over the<br />

minute display complete the loving arrangement of important<br />

displays. Furthermore, the power reserve is displayed on a<br />

semi-circular arc at top left.<br />

Like on the wristwatch, all the dials here are glass pearlblasted<br />

and silver-plated. Each hand is lavishly domed and<br />

blued. A fine, rhodium-plated regulating system, known as the<br />

echappement, can be seen through an opening in the plates<br />

with its screw balance and blued balance spring.<br />

Highlight 3 of the Trilogy:<br />

<strong>Sattler</strong> Wristwatch<br />

Fifty years of experience in precision clockmaking and<br />

twelve master clock- and watchmakers who prove that they<br />

are able to make timepieces for generations to come every<br />

day provide an excellent backdrop for the first <strong>Sattler</strong><br />

wristwatch. Of course, <strong>Erwin</strong> <strong>Sattler</strong> is not able to make a<br />

complete watch movement using its machines for clocks.<br />

Thus, <strong>Sattler</strong> chose the reliable ETA Valjoux 7750 caliber as<br />

the base for the <strong>Sattler</strong> wristwatch project.<br />

Next, <strong>Erwin</strong> <strong>Sattler</strong> was able to win the support of<br />

watchmakers Maria and Richard Habring from Austria.<br />

Habring Uhrentechnik rediscovered, developed, and<br />

patented the jump second complication, and is now making<br />

the technical highlight for <strong>Sattler</strong> in a limited edition of 150<br />

pieces.<br />

Based on the solid and reliable gear train of the ETA Valjoux<br />

7750, the <strong>Sattler</strong> wristwatch movement is lavishly decorated<br />

with perlage and blued screws. The jump second subgroup<br />

and the dial train for the hour display of the regulator arrangement<br />

are completely new.<br />

The base movement for the watch and its components<br />

are the only parts made in Switzerland. All the other parts,<br />

such as the case, dial, rotor, strap, and buckle, are strictly<br />

made in Germany according to <strong>Sattler</strong>’s motto.<br />

One of the most valuable components making up this<br />

movement, visible through the transparent case back, is a<br />

solid 18-karat gold rotor handmade by master engraver<br />

Jochen Benzinger for the automatic winding. He exquisitely<br />

engraved the company's initials E and S as well as the<br />

»<strong>Sattler</strong>« hands found in the logo into the white gold rotor.<br />

The screw-down case back is embellished with the engraving<br />

»50 years <strong>Erwin</strong> <strong>Sattler</strong> 1958-2008«.<br />

The watch displays the typical face of a <strong>Sattler</strong> precision<br />

pendulum clock with the corresponding bezel and a classic<br />

solid silver regulator dial containing the hour display in the<br />

lower half and the extraordinary jump second display in the<br />

upper half. Conventional hands cannot be used with such a<br />

dial, of course. The hands were therefore precisely<br />

miniaturized, corresponding to a pendulum clock, and then<br />

polished and blued by <strong>Sattler</strong>’s clockmakers.<br />

In order to demonstrate <strong>Sattler</strong>'s competence and to provide<br />

for future service work, <strong>Sattler</strong>’s watchmakers carry out the<br />

final assembly of the movement and do quality control on<br />

the finished watch.<br />

The end product is a premium wristwatch with a beautiful,<br />

clear face achieved by the simple, fine silver dial with its<br />

regulator display.<br />

Rotalis Precision Watch Winders<br />

Mechanical wristwatches are much more than just time -<br />

keepers. The pleasant ticking, the intelligent interaction of<br />

precisely manufactured components, and the fascination<br />

of aesthetic craftsmanship has made them collectibles. For these<br />

reasons, many people own more than one mechanical<br />

timekeeper outfitted with a classic movement.<br />

Unfortunately, however, you can wear only one watch on your<br />

wrist at a time. The others just wait around in a safe or a case<br />

for their occasional wear. This is where the problems start.<br />

Before wearing them, the watch’s mainspring must be wound,<br />

the time set, and date adjusted. Especially watches with<br />

a full calendar take some time to set, unless you have an<br />

exclusive Rotalis watch winder by <strong>Erwin</strong> <strong>Sattler</strong> for your<br />

automatic watches. At the latest at this point is where the<br />

question arises: why would this top-level clock company<br />

from Munich with its extremely high standard of design,<br />

manufacture, and quality occupy itself with this quite unusual<br />

product. The answer is actually easy: an exclusive rotator<br />

like the Rotalis represents many parallels to the fine instruments<br />

that <strong>Erwin</strong> <strong>Sattler</strong> traditionally makes. This begins with the<br />

for the Most Valuable Collector’s Wristwatches<br />

precision gold-plated gear train for energy transmission<br />

between the motor and the wristwatch support. Like on<br />

pendulum clocks, the clearly visible gear wheels are milled<br />

from hard brass with the highest precision and then gold-plated.<br />

Simple stamping is something <strong>Erwin</strong> <strong>Sattler</strong> categorically<br />

rejects. The barrel arbors, the gear wheels, and the three front<br />

spoke wheels rotate within a total of ten stainless steel<br />

ball bearings. Per wristwatch, of course. This avoids friction<br />

and wear, and minimizes irritating noise. On the other hand,<br />

these attributes also ensure perfect, distinctive aesthetics.<br />

The same is all true of the cases. The watch collector can<br />

choose from three different case sizes. The Rotalis is available<br />

for 2 or 4 automatic watches. Larger watch collections can<br />

optimally find room in the <strong>Erwin</strong> <strong>Sattler</strong> models Thesaurus and<br />

Custodia. Naturally, these cases are also manufactured in<br />

typical <strong>Sattler</strong> quality. No fewer than thirteen layers of black<br />

varnish are applied to precious wood that has aged for years.<br />

Anti-reflective crystals allow a perfect view of the Rotalis’s<br />

fascinating gear train – and naturally of the valuable watches<br />

<strong>Erwin</strong> <strong>Sattler</strong> developed it for.<br />

Rotalis Precision Watch Winders<br />

This machine makes it possible for the first time to carefully treat<br />

watches from the past, present, and future in the way they<br />

deserve. The settings can be adjusted individually for each<br />

watch, and the winding speed and direction of each electronic<br />

motor is adjustable. The Rotalis fulfills the demands of<br />

each watch movement more precisely and comfortably than<br />

every other conventional watch winder. Its base is the patented<br />

new <strong>Sattler</strong> Beluwo ® watch winder technology. For the first<br />

time, collectors can find the optimal settings for their valuable<br />

watches in an enclosed watch data base and convey it to the<br />

memory of the watch winder via a USB interface. Thus, daily<br />

questions about which movement, which direction, and the<br />

number of rotations and direction now belong to the past.<br />

The intelligent control simulates the course of a day with a<br />

fourteen-hour active phase and ten-hour passive phase. The<br />

rotations needed per day are optimally portioned out during<br />

the active phase.<br />

Not Only are the Mechanics Exceptional,<br />

so are the Intelligent Electronics<br />

Naturally, the Rotalis also functions in a conventional way –<br />

without data transfer if that is so desired. Intelligent standard<br />

programming keeps each watch running perfectly every day.<br />

The highlight of this exceptional technology is that after having<br />

been wound, each watch is precisely positioned in the<br />

vertical 12 o'clock position.<br />

On the Rotalis II and IV models, an integrated battery allows<br />

the winder to be placed independently of any power sources<br />

and makes it possible for the winder to run for up to half a<br />

year. Avoiding nasty surprises, an end-of-life function reminds<br />

you that the battery has to be charged again using the<br />

integrated plug.<br />

The Rotalis series by <strong>Erwin</strong> <strong>Sattler</strong> sets new standards in the<br />

segment of premium watch winders. This is equally true of the<br />

aesthetics, quality, and technology. These machines underscore<br />

the importance a collector places upon his or her valuable<br />

Dimensions: Height 29 cm Width 25.5 cm Depth 19 cm<br />

Rotalis ll – Gentle Storage for Your Precious Watches<br />

Walnut<br />

An automatic movement needs an individual number of<br />

rotations in a certain direction per day.<br />

Two watches can be optimally stored and viewed through<br />

anti-reflective mineral crystals in <strong>Erwin</strong> <strong>Sattler</strong>’s Rotalis II<br />

watch winder.<br />

Their special technical and electronic features are extensively<br />

described on pages 85 and 87.<br />

Naturally, this watch winder can autonomously run for many<br />

months independent of any power source thanks to its battery.<br />

Technology:<br />

USB interface, lead acid battery, charge plug,<br />

12 o'clock position, two light barriers, two precision motors,<br />

20 stainless steel ball bearings, six gold-plated gear wheels.<br />

New developed wristwatch holders can accommodate<br />

very large watches.<br />

Case:<br />

Black varnish or walnut,<br />

each with metal inlays, anti-reflective crystals<br />

Rotalis IV<br />

Black varnish with polished walnut root wood<br />

Dimensions: Height 29 cm Width 48 cm Depth 19 cm<br />

Watch Winder for Four Watches by <strong>Erwin</strong> <strong>Sattler</strong> – for Very Valuable Collector’s Wristwatches<br />

The Ultimate Precision Watch Winder Featuring a Gold-Plated Gear Train<br />

<strong>Erwin</strong> <strong>Sattler</strong> offers the collector of high-quality wristwatches<br />

a unique presentation experience – the kind of equally<br />

valuable stage that these precious timepieces deserve. The<br />

high demands that the <strong>Erwin</strong> <strong>Sattler</strong> manufactory places upon<br />

itself in terms of the design and quality of its precision clocks<br />

were the prerequisite for this unique new definition of the<br />

watch winder.<br />

Thus, it is no wonder that <strong>Erwin</strong> <strong>Sattler</strong> uses a precision<br />

gold-plated gear train for energy transmission between the<br />

motor and the wristwatch support. The visible hard brass gear<br />

wheels are not stamped, but rather precision milled and then<br />

gold-plated. The barrel arbors, the gear wheels, and the three<br />

front spoke wheels rotate upon a total of ten stainless steel ball<br />

bearings per wristwatch. This avoids wear and tear while<br />

minimizing noise. At the same time, these attributes make a<br />

beautiful statement and provide a distinctive look.<br />

The electronic and technical features are already described<br />

on page 93 and 94.<br />

Naturally also this watchwinder runs independently for a few<br />

months because of its integrated battery.<br />

Naturally, the case is also manufactured in typical<br />

<strong>Sattler</strong> quality.<br />

Thirteen layers of black varnish are carefully applied to<br />

precious wood that has aged for years, with the walnut root<br />

wood pieces laboriously polished by hand.<br />

Anti-reflective coating on both sides of the glass allows a<br />

perfect view of the precious gear train – and, of course, the<br />

valuable watches located within.<br />

New developed wristwatch holders can accommodate<br />

very large watches.<br />

A Unique Presentation Experience for Collectors of High-Quality Wristwatches<br />

The high demands that the <strong>Erwin</strong> <strong>Sattler</strong> manufactory places<br />

upon itself in terms of precision clocks was the prerequisite<br />

for this unique new definition of the watch winder. Special<br />

focus was placed on the precious wood trays on top of the<br />

sideboard that are literally very revealing.<br />

The double anti-reflective<br />

mineral crystal<br />

panes allow you to<br />

admire the craftsmanship<br />

and technology<br />

of <strong>Erwin</strong> <strong>Sattler</strong>’s eight<br />

Rotalis precision watch<br />

winders.<br />

On pages 85 and 87<br />

you will find precise<br />

details of the unique Rotalis winding system. The most precious<br />

woods used in the creation of the sideboard are a fitting<br />

frame for such an exceptional object. Thirteen layers of black<br />

varnish are carefully applied to precious aged wood,<br />

harmonizing with the mirror surface of the walnut wood<br />

elements polished by hand. The gently gliding drawers of<br />

the Custodia model (Latin for »safekeeping«) are lined with<br />

precious Alcantara leather.<br />

With the aid of the remote control, you can<br />

raise and lower the two trays and their hidden<br />

treasure: your watches. When you do this, the most<br />

exceptional watch winders currently on the market become visible.<br />

The LED lamps can also be switched on or off by remote control.<br />

Technology:<br />

32 Rotalis precision watch winder systems for 32 automatic<br />

watches, 152 stainless steel ball bearings, 24 gold-plated<br />

gear wheels, 32 high-performance motors, 12 o'clock<br />

position at rest, 32 light barriers, two remote-controlled trays,<br />

22 LED lamps, all watch winders are individually<br />

programmable via the integrated keyboard with display or the<br />

USB interface, manipulation-proof remote technology from the<br />

alarm industry, both doors are locked and can be opened by<br />

remote control, cable energy of 230 or 110 volts.<br />

New developed wristwatch holders can accommodate<br />

very large watches.<br />

Sideboard:<br />

Two lockable drawers with cushioned space for 42 more<br />

watches, another two all-purpose lockable drawers (upon<br />

request these drawers can be equipped with 42 extra watch<br />

cushions), two small lockable shelves.<br />

Rotalis 60<br />

Dimensions: Height: 200 cm (230 cm with opened panels) Width: 145 cm Depth: 20 cm<br />

High-End Precision Watch Winder for 60 Watches<br />

The Elegant Combination of Clock, Barometer, and Hygrometer<br />

The clockmakers, precision mechanics, and electrical<br />

technicians at the clock manufactory have included all of<br />

the proven technology of the smaller precision watch winders<br />

in the Rotalis 60.<br />

Looking at this work of art from the outside, one might think<br />

he or she is seeing two huge flat-screen TVs. In reality, this<br />

object comprises two 18 mm thick bulletproof glass panels<br />

into which a one-way mirror has also been integrated.<br />

This allows one to see the treasures hidden securely behind<br />

the glass only when the remote control is used to turn on the<br />

100 LED lights inside the cases.<br />

Next to the case there is also a small fingerprint reader that<br />

allows the watch collector, at the touch of a finger, to open<br />

the two heavy bulletproof glass panels. A powerful spindle<br />

drive slides the panels apart simultaneously, one rising and<br />

one lowering. This means that only authorized persons<br />

with previously stored fingerprints can open the<br />

case. Naturally, the case can also be opened<br />

using the accompanying remote control.<br />

There are sixty watch winders behind the panels, all outfitted<br />

with <strong>Sattler</strong>’s globally unique Beluwo ® watch winder<br />

technology, which is protected by the German Patent and<br />

Trademark Office.<br />

For the first time, this machine makes it possible to give each<br />

watch from the past, present, or future the careful treatment it<br />

deserves. The winding speed and direction of each of the<br />

sixty electronic motor is precisely adjustable. Relevant data for<br />

more than 5,000 different automatic watches is stored in the<br />

accompanying database, and collectors can transfer it from<br />

any computer via wireless connection to the watch winder.<br />

102 103


The intelligent control simulates the course of a day with<br />

a fourteen-hour active phase and a ten-hour passive phase.<br />

The rotations needed per day are optimally portioned out<br />

during the active phase.<br />

The highlight of this exceptional technology is that after<br />

completing the winding interval, each watch ends precisely<br />

positioned in the vertical 12 o'clock position.<br />

Aligned horizontally in the middle of this electronic<br />

masterpiece are three mechanical precision instruments: the<br />

Navis 24, a mechanical <strong>Sattler</strong> clock outfitted with an<br />

eight-day power reserve, a second time zone, and the date,<br />

is located in the center. It is flanked by a barometer and a<br />

thermometer on either side.<br />

Rotalis 60 Rotalis 30<br />

Two stainless steel columns support the case of the heavy<br />

winder from the outside while heavy-duty screws secure it to<br />

the wall from the inside.<br />

In order to personalize the case, its owner can select any of<br />

the various available decorative polished fine wood panels<br />

to embellish the case’s middle. These panels are, for<br />

example, available in walnut, maple, black with metal inlays,<br />

and carbon fiber and can easily be exchanged at a later<br />

date if desired.<br />

Overall, the Rotalis 60 by <strong>Erwin</strong> <strong>Sattler</strong> sets new standards<br />

in the segment of premium watch winders. This is equally true<br />

of its aesthetics, quality, and technology.<br />
