Classica KS 100 | Two Clocks in One—Classica KS 100
The regulator pulley clock with a one-month movement ranks among the classics of the Sattler collection. While the Classica K 100 is outfitted with calendar function and moon phase display, the two driving weights of the Classica S 100 allow one to immediately recognize that it is outfitted with a striking movement. Reacting to frequent requests from horological connoisseur circles desiring a striking clock with calendar and thirty days of power reserve, we have developed this new clock. The Classica KS 100 not only shows the date and the day of the week with its hands, but also acoustically and subtly chimes the time, striking one tone on the half-hour and the full number of tones on the hour on one fine gong.
The calendar and the strike train are positioned on the front plate, directly beneath the silver-plated dial. There are two variations to choose from, and the matching blued steel hands are additionally available to match the Roman or Arabic hour numerals. The hand-painted moon disk has been moved from its previous 12 o’clock position to the lower edge of the dial. Thus, we were able to add the S 100’s display of seconds here.
Naturally, this new Sattler manufacture movement is outfitted with fourteen jewel bearings and eight precision ball bearings. Thanks to this, we were able to achieve a nearly friction-free movement destined to last for generations. Though for years we have been making the bezel from solid brass, here for the first time we see the pendulum bob created from a thick disk of brass as well.
Fortunately, the new, much more complicated movement has enough room in the case of the original model crafted in ebony or black piano lacquer with a depth of only 11 cm.
Dimensions: Height: 98 cm, Width: 27.5 cm Depth: 11cm
