In 1880, a man named Hermann Karl Krieg was born in Freudenstadt, a city in the Black Forest region of Germany.

A watchmaker, he began repairing and developing clocks and pocket watches in 1898.
He was soon acclaimed as a watchmaker, known not only in Freudenstadt but to many under the nickname Carl von Zeuten (Karl of the Time).

Not resting on his laurels, he continued to pursue his dream of creating the perfect watch, gaining a wealth of knowledge and experience in watchmaking workshops in England and Switzerland.

After returning to Freudenstadt, he developed and improved large clocks, traditional wall clocks from the Black Forest region, and cuckoo clocks, and in his later years he also trained watchmakers.

Hermann Karl Krieg, better known as Karl von Zeuten, died in 1926, but his stories and works are still familiar to the people of Freudenstadt.

Entering the 21st century, we have completed a timeless and classic watch collection that inherits his will. Your Carl von Zeyten watch is a dream come true.
