Time is a Gift

History of the Erwin Sattler Clock Manufactory

1903

Watchmaker Heinrich Sattler, grandfather of Erwin Sattler, received an imperial German patentfor his design of a perpetual calendar.

1920Sculptor Oscar Schnfeld founded a company in Munich that reproduced valuable

antique-style clocks and realized Schnfelds own artistic ideas.

1958Founding of the Erwin Sattler company. Watchmaker Erwin Sattler acquired Oscar Schnfelds

antique-style clock collection, adding many new high-quality clocks over the ensuing twenty-five years.The high-quality table and wall clocks were in part hand- carved and gold- plated, and then skillfully painted

by the hand of Erwin Sattlers wife, Viola.

1979The first wall regulators were manufactured at the end of the 1970s,

garnering fame for the company beyond Germanys borders.

1984The first precision pendulum clocks containing Sattlers own movement were realized in collaborationwith master watchmaker Robert Schleich. Special features included a completely jeweled movement

with sweep seconds and a gridiron pendulum.

1984Watchmaker Richard Mller started work as an independent traveling salesman

for Erwin Sattler in Germany and Austria.

1989Stephanie Sattler-Rick, Erwin Sattlers daughter, joined the companys management team

and has since overseen purchasing, sales, and the companys finances.

1990Manufactory development: the first computerized lathes and milling machines were purchased under the directionof Richard Mller, who was responsible for the development and quality of movements from this point onward.

1992Erwin Sattler was turned into a limited partnership. The owners included Erwin Sattler as general partner

and Stephanie Sattler-Rick and Richard Mller as limited partners.

2002Erwin Sattler OHG (general partnership), clock manufactory, was founded. The owners of this company

are Stephanie Sattler-Rick and Richard Mller. At this point, more than twenty Sattler movementswere being produced in a production depth greater than 90 percent.

2003The subsidiary Mller & Sattler Uhrenbausatz GmbH, a limited company

producing do- it- yourself kits, was founded.

2006The first precision watch winders for automatic wristwatches were manufactured, equipped with ball-bearing,

precision pendulum clock gear trains and unique electronic control systems. The new, autonomous Erwin Sattlermanufactory building located at Lohenstrae 6 in Grfelfing, near Munich, was completed.

2008Erwin Sattler celebrates its fifty-year anniversary.

The Erwin Sattler manufactory celebratesits fiftieth anniversary this year.

The anniversary not only presentsan occasion for us to celebrate,

it also offers us a chance to presentconnoisseurs of our company special editions

of clocks in limited editions, each decoratedwith an anniversary diamond.

Anniversary Model Trilogie All in One

Highlight 1 of the Trilogy:Rotalis Precision Watch Winder

The gear train of the Rotalis 1 watch winder is located

between the two movement plates. Its design and

technology corresponds to that of all other Sattler

watch winders, so it is freely programmable via a USB

interface. It is extremely quiet and once the winding

program is completed, the watch is left in a vertical

position so that it can be read perfectly. In addition, the

clock is illuminated by LED lamps, keeping it beautiful

for the eye at all times.

It is at this point that you may ask why the Munich- based

clock manufactory with its particularly high demands ondesign, quality, and realization of its precision timepieces

has entered this fairly unusual field of production. The

answer is actually quite simple: an exclusive rotator

device such as the Rotalis model displays many

parallels to the fine instruments that Sattler traditionally

manufactures.

This begins with the gold-plated precision gear train for

transmitting energy between the motor and the

wristwatch support. Like on Sattlers pendulum clocks,

the clearly visible gear wheels are milled from hardbrass using a highly precise pitch process and then

gold-plated. The arbors of the drums, the gear wheels,

and the three front wheels each rotate on ten stainless

steel ball bearings. This prevents friction and minimizes

annoying drive noise. Moreover, these attributes ensure

perfect, unmistakable aesthetics.

This combination underscores the companys great diversity: a Sattler precision table clock

with fifteen days of power reserve combined with a programmable Sattler Rotalis watch winder

and a world premiere the first Sattler wristwatch.

This package is only available as a complete set limited to fifty pieces.

The wristwatchs case is available in a choice of solid white, yellow, or red gold.

All of the Trilogys gear wheels and the dial holders are gold-plated

to match the chosen case version.

Protecting the Trilogy is a large mineral crystal dome that moves up and down

via electric motor and spindle when activated by a switch hidden in the case.

Naturally, the Trilogys Rotalis watch winder is precisely set

to the Sattler wristwatch regarding revolutions per day and

rotational direction right from the day of delivery. Of course,

it can also be individually programmed to accommodate any

other automatic wristwatch as well. Its base is formed by the

patented new Sattler Beluwo watch winder technology.

For the first time, collectors are able to take over the optimal

settings for their valuable watches from an enclosed watch

data base and convey it to the memory of the watch winder

via a USB interface. Thus, questions about which movement,

which rotational direction, and the number of revolutions

needed each day are now a thing of the past.

The intelligent control simulates the course of a day using

a fourteen-hour active phase and a ten-hour passive phase.

The rotations needed per day are optimally portioned out

during the active phase.

The Sattler watch can be found in the best location: the

center of the Trilogy where it is optimally supplied with energy

by Sattlers Rotalis watch winder.

Not only are the Mechanics Exceptional, so are the Intelligent Electronics.

Fifty years of experience in precision clockmaking and twelve

master clock- and watchmakers who prove that they are able

to make timepieces for generations to come every day provide

an excellent backdrop for the first Sattler wristwatch. Ofcourse, Erwin Sattler is not able to make a complete watch

movement using its machines for clocks.

Thus, Sattler chose the reliable ETA Valjoux 7750 caliber as

the base for the Sattler wristwatch project.

Next, Erwin Sattler was able to win the support of watch-

makers Maria and Richard Habring from Austria. Habring

Uhrentechnik rediscovered, developed, and patented

the jump second complication, and is now making the

technical highlight forSattler in a limited edition

of 150 pieces.

Based on the solid and

reliable gear train of the

ETA Valjoux 7750, the

Sattler wristwatch movement

Highlight 2 of the Trilogy: Sattler Wristwatch

is lavishly decorated with perlage and blued screws. The jump

second subgroup and the dial train for the hour display of the

regulator arrangement are completely new.

The base movement for the watch and its components are

the only parts made in Switzerland. All the other parts, such

as the case, dial, rotor, strap, and buckle, are strictly made

in Germany according to Sattlers motto.

One of the most valuable components making up this

movement, visible through the transparent case back, is a

solid 18-karat gold rotor handmade by master engraver

Jochen Benzinger for the automatic winding. He exquisitely

engraved the company's initials E and S as well as the

Sattler hands found inthe logo into the white

gold rotor.

The watch displays the typical face of a Sattler precision

pendulum clock with the corresponding bezel and a classic

solid silver regulator dial containing the hour display in the

lower half and the extraordinary jump second display in

the upper half. Conventional hands cannot be used with such

a dial, of course. The hands were therefore precisely

miniaturized, corresponding to a pendulum clock, and then

polished and blued by Sattlers clockmakers.

In order to demonstrate Sattler's competence and to provide

for future service work, Sattlers watchmakers carry out the

final assembly of the movement and do quality control on

the finished watch.

Like the companys precision clocks, the Sattler wristwatch

is created to display the time in the purest manner possible.

Thus, these timepieces do without other complications such as

the date and other additional functions.

Finally, the fully assembled Sattler wristwatch undergoes a

fifteen-day chronometer test at the Wempe observatory in

Glashtte, after which it is provided with a certificate.

The end product is a premium wristwatch with a beautiful,

clear face that is achieved by the simple, fine silver dial

with its regulator display.

Highlight 3 of the Trilogy : Nautis Series Precision Clock

The table clock, equipped with a horizontal regulator display,

which is completely new for Sattler, is found directly above

the base. To achieve this, the movement of the Sattler Nautis

model was extravagantly redesigned so that it is now

positioned below the watch winder and between the plates.

It can be easily admired through the filigreed crystal design

of the Trilogy case.

Highlights of the movement include the milled, gold-plated

gear train, set in twelve ball bearings and eleven jewels

to minimize friction. Because the tension of the mainspring is

naturally not even during the power reserve of fifteen days,

Sattlers clockmakers used a method also applied by

John Harrison in the 1700s: a steel cable and fusee to keep

energy constant. A power-maintaining mechanism is also

present to supply the movement with energy, even while it

is being wound. Sattler chose a regulator dial with an

off-center 24-hour hand to indicate the time, just like those the

famed Breguet chronometers were outfitted with 200 years

ago. The subsidiary seconds display on the right, the sweep

minute hand, and the date scale hovering over the minutedisplay complete the loving arrangement of important

displays. Furthermore, the power reserve is displayed on a

semi-circular arc at top left.

Like on the wristwatch, all the dials here are glass pearl-

blasted and silver-plated. Each hand is lavishly domed and

blued. A fine, rhodium-plated regulating system, known as the

echappement, can be seen through an opening in the plates

with its screw balance and blued balance spring.

This decorative timepiece underscores the ability of Sattlers

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.Three anti-reflective crystals allow a view of the

high- quality, precision Sattler manufactory caliber.

Anniversary Model: Stella The Small, Precious Table Clock

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 guilloch 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

guilloch dial; the whole construction achieves a three-

dimensional effect. The numbers, markers, and polishedhands 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.

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 Sattlers program, but it is very valuable:

corresponding to the color of the case parts, the gear wheels are platedin rose gold, yellow gold, or rhodium (fifty pieces each).

The precise manufactory caliber with eight days of power

reserve is outfitted with ten milled, gold-plated gear wheels,

fourteen precision ball bearings, eleven jewels, and a

rhodium-plated 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.

Discovering the precious table clock Stella and obtaining one

of the 150 pieces may start a family tradition that can be

continued from generation to generation with pride.

Now that an Erwin Sattler precision pendulum clock ticks

side by side with famed historical timekeeping instruments atthe 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 is no better time than during the companys

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 that displays 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 ballof 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 moons 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.

The integrated striking mechanism is a further highlight; in

conjunction with the calendar design it offers a few specialfeatures such as the fact that the energy needed for the

control of the calendar displays comes from the strike train.

In order to achieve this, the calendars 24- hour wheel meshes

with the strike train wheels. The advantage of this design is

that the actual changing of the day, date, and month takes

place during the 12 oclock chime exactly at midnight and

only lasts about fifteen seconds.

The movement therefore only has to supply enough

power to start the strike train, an advantage as far as the

clocks rate precision is concerned. In comparison to a

jumping perpetual calendar, this model has the advantage

of increased functional security since the operating lever is

guided rather than jumping.

As if that werent enough, this anniversary clock also makes

the time audible. A rack strike train, whose dial train

is mounted on the back of the movement,

signals half and full hours with the

aid of a very long tubular gong.

Hidden within a resonancechamber on the back of

the clock, it guarantees a

beautiful, full sound.

Anniversary Model

Opus TemporisPrecision Pendulum Clock with Perpetual Calendar and Striking mechanism

Precisely fifty pieces of this noble timekeeper representing Sattlers 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.

The use of modern technologies such as ball bearings

and classic ruby bearings optimizes efficiency. Solid brass

plates, which can be up to 5 mm thick, and sturdy pillars lend

the frame the necessary stability. The interplay of delicate,decorative polishing with polished stainless steel screws lifts

this movement into the premium class optically as well as

functionally.

The twenty-four elegantly formed gear wheels are milled at the

manufactory in a multi -step process, after which they are gold-

plated to protect them from oxidation. Within the movement,

they are located upon solid, fully hardened steel shafts with

precisely milled pinions. Computer-aided design guarantees

optimum energy transmission within the gear trains.

The attainable rate precision of about one to two seconds per

month is possible primarily because of the fastidious attention

to detail in the design of the pendulum. The pendulum rod is

made of Superinvar, an alloy that is especially resistant to

temperature fluctuation. Sattler maintains its own measurement

laboratory for quality control the only one of its kind in the

world. Here, technicians are able to simulate a wide range

of environmental influences, all within consistent parameters.

The data collected during these controlled experiments

enables rate deviations caused by differences in air pressure

and temperature to be calculated in advance.

Thirteen coats of black varnish and metal inlays finish the case.

The inlay in the back of the clock is crafted in Makassar and

polished to a mirror finish. Cases made of other precious

woods are also available.

Especially in the fast- paced and often anonymous world of the

present, people are looking more and more for a feeling of

security and want their homes to be places of peace and

relaxation. The calming swing of the one-second pendulumand the cozy ticking of the clock create an unsurpassed

feeling of well -being.

Discovering this Sattler clock will lay the foundation for a

family tradition that can be passed on with pride from

generation to generation.
