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 />
