 With regard to our customers, we have only one goal: total satisfaction. This includes the design, quality and durability of our products. The long development process from the first sketch to the finished product is a well-balanced relationship between modern technology and traditional craftsmanship. Only this guarantees that every detail of a Sattler clock fully achieves our high expectations. The 25 employees at the Erwin Sattler factory daily live the dream: clocks for generations. For the production of our movement parts we use hightech CNC machines, without them tolerances up to max. 1/100 mm would not be possible. But the most important factor when making high-quality precision pendulum clocks remains the human factor in finishing and assembling these examples of mechanical art. Guided by Richard Müller, the masterclockmakers and clockmakers working in production, development and assembly, build the most accurate precision pendulum clocks in the world. All our movement parts are turned or milled from the solid metal. Following to the plans of the development department, highly precise parts are produced from hardened brass and steel are produced. Each of our 13 movements, produced in small batches, originates in our own development department. Our high quality cases are manufactured in Germany to our demanding specifications, by a company specialising in wood technology. We make manufacture about 90 % of each clock and can therefore be called a manufacturer. Men and clocks have one thing in common. They need a future. This is why we train young people to become clockmakers. Currently we have 4 clockmaker apprentices. Jan Münch, a Sattler apprentice, won the German watch and clockmaking competition in 2004, showing that this effort has positive results.
