Classica Secunda 1985 – The Classic Precision Clock<br />
The Classica Secunda 1985 model represents the evolution<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 />
