Matthias Naeschke-Regulator series with eight-day movement

“From the useful via truth to beauty“. This quotation from Goethe could have been the motto for the development of these wall clocks. Here, remote from industrial production, true pieces of craftsmanship have been created for the sophisticated private living space.Their gentle ticking conveys contentment. It is as if they were predestined to regulate the owner's personal pace of life. Full of aesthetic and technical subtleties, these clocks embody eternal values.



Captured within rubies and ball bearings, elegant gilded wheels run between beautifully crafted plates.The design goes back to the principles of classical clock making. Fine satinwork and brilliant polishes alternate with each other.The striking mechanisms are based on a totally new principle.To save energy, the number of wheels required to drive the clock was reduced.The striking mechanism consists of only two moving parts.

The finely fashioned cases are produced by experienced specialists using rigorously selected high-grade timbers and traditional craftwork. Their fine, delicate appearance is characterised by classic stylistic elements, reduced to a contemporary minimum. The back inlay work of mother-of-pearl, ebony and root wood produce a particularly distinguished elegance.

The smallest Naeschke regulators are available with or without striking mechanism. Today, sturdy striking clocks that run for 8 days with a weight-fall of only 30 cm are unique. This is the result of a solid basic construction. The half-hour strike and the first strike of the hour are performed by the going train. This technique is crucial for making clocks with such small weight-fall.

The quality of the movements, which are always gilded can only be described as “absolutely perfect”. Each component is scrutinized by the clockmaker numerous times, getting his undivided attention.Not the slightest irregularity escapes unnoticed and precision is uncompromisingly pursued. The human factor is the decisive quality criterion.



The case of a clock made by Matthias Naeschke is never just an ornament becoming an end in itself. On the contrary, it is a living, unique part of the whole. Each tree, each piece of timber has its own history. To understand this history and to transform this raw material into a clock case requires the wisdom of highly skilled cabinet makers. They meticulously select pieces of wood that combine to make up a single harmonic unit of grain and colour. Depending on how the light falls, the structure of the wood still shines through the clear varnish.

The dial:The regulator dials are crafted in an elaborate and time-consuming process.Granulated silver is applied to a base brass dial. Thanks to a method learnt from old craftsmen, it is possible to draw pin-sharp lines of less than a tenth of a millimetre.

Pattern knurling:Pattern knurling was developed by craftsmen in the 18th century. Not only clocks, but high quality furniture and lamps were fitted with knurled adornments. Knurling is extremely time-consuming.Today, with the exception of only a few craftsmen who remain, this craft has more or less died out in Europe. The beauty of knurling results from the contrast between polished and sharp-edged satin finished stylistic elements.

This small clock is the perfect embodiment of eternal values.It was created to regulate the personal life rhythm in a private and sophisticated living space. Inlaid silver bars on the top and the bottom part of the case and a highly polished back, veined with silver and featuring a star in mother of pearl and an unostentacious lily pattern in black high-grade wood, make this case particularly precious. This effect is underlined by the finely faceted glass. The polished deep dark red wooden pendulum with the gilded beat lever and the gilded weight is shown to particular advantage against this beautiful back.
