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 />
