Anniversary Model – Opus Temporis – Precision Pendulum Clock
with Perpetual Calendar and Strike Mechanism
Precisely fifty pieces of this noble timekeeper representing
Sattler’s complete know-how are to be manufactured. Serial
numbers from 1 to 50 can be found on the dial.
An »anniversary diamond« shines from between the calendar
displays, giving additional evidence that this is a particularly
special clock.
Now that an Erwin Sattler precision pendulum clock ticks side
by side with famed historical timekeeping instruments at the
German Museum in Munich, the high standards set by the
manufactory for itself and its employees are much plainer
for all to see.
Thus there was no better time than during the company’s
fiftieth anniversary celebrations to introduce the most unique
precision pendulum clock ever made at the manufactory.
The exceptional element here is the sweep seconds display –
an absolute rarity on clocks, displaying the complete time
from the center of the dial. The five-part dial is also home to
a special kind of moon phase display, the hand-painted ball
of which turns within a funnel, set with small brilliant-cut
diamonds depicting the night sky. The moon phase display is
unusually precise, deviating by less than seven seconds
between each new moon. The exact calculation and design
of the moon phase display originates directly from work done
by Heinrich Sattler in 1903. Calculating into the future, the
moon’s orb would only need to be adjusted by one day after
1,000 years. The most outstanding feature of the pendulum
clock is its perpetual calendar, providing information about the
date, day of the week, and month, each via a hand within
a recessed subsidiary dial.
