Yellow gold-plated
Anniversary Model Stella – The Small, Precious Table Clock
On the occasion of its fiftieth anniversary, Erwin Sattler
presents the table clock Stella (Latin for »star«) in a limited
edition of 150 pieces.
This is the smallest table clock in Sattler’s program, but it is
very valuable: corresponding to the color of the case parts,
the gear wheels are plated in rosé gold, yellow gold, or
rhodium (fifty pieces each).
This decorative timepiece underscores the ability of Sattler’s
clockmakers to make table clocks that are as precise as they
are elegant.
The filigreed brass design of the case consists of a total of
eleven finely milled and polished parts that are screwed
together. The top and bottom of the case are composed
of two highly polished, black granite plates.
Dimensions: Width 12 cm height 16 cm depth 8 cm
White gold-plated
Three anti-reflective crystals allow a view of the high-quality,
precision Sattler manufactory caliber. Thus, in addition to the
mechanics that are really worth seeing, the unique dial is also
an eye-catcher: its base is formed by a plate that has been
guilloché by hand. A cutaway in the dial at 12 o'clock
allows a view of the screw balance.
A grained, silver-plated numeral frame is screwed to the
guilloché dial; the whole construction achieves a threedimensional
effect. The numbers, markers, and polished hands
are crafted in brass plated with rose gold (or yellow gold, or
rhodium, respectively). The overall appearance of the clock
subtly underscores its high quality.
Rosé gold-plated
The precise manufactory caliber with eight days of power
reserve is outfitted with ten milled, gold-plated gear wheels,
twelve precision ball bearings, eleven jewels, and a rhodiumplated
Swiss echappement (escapement and balance on
a separate plate that is screwed to the movement).
The movement is outfitted with a so-called gear stopwork. This
device compensates for the weak front and the strong end of
the elasticity curve, significantly improving the rate. Winding
and hand-setting is done from the back. The small Sattler clock
is delivered in a high-quality black case in which it can be
conveniently transported with two doors that open.
A table clock such as this builds a bridge from the past to the
future, enriching the present of its owner by creating his or her
personal living space.
