 Gräfelfing near Munich: Two years go by... On the screen of a computer, lines, circles and curves are converted into secret plans and constructions. CNC controlled machines drill holes, arbors are turned and teeth are cut. Small balls are assembled to precision ball bearings. Slim, profiled, spade or Breguet hands acquire their shiny blue colour over a flame. On a round disk two moons and lots of shiny stars are painted by hand, inlay is cut and inserted, glasses are bevelled and polished, experienced clockmakers assemble with the parts with care, adjust and regulate, to create a living product. A box is packed and transported to the dealer who qualified as Sattler-partner. New scene: Your house or apartment during this time. Again and again you studied the catalogue, you talked to the Sattler dealer who you trust, and then, one day, your precision clock arrived. In the same moment you feel that something has changed. The timeless elegant design is a decoration for any room. The quite ticking creates a special atmosphere. You can almost feel stress disappear. Every pendulum inspires. In your mind you make a journey back into times when electronics were not important. You feel how the ticking of the clock is a statement of value and tradition. At this moment you share our love and enthusiasm to create enduring values and preserve traditions for coming generations. This swinging pendulum is the heart beat of human culture. |
