Andreas Strehler Watches
When
it comes to custom handcrafted watches, Andreas Strehler exemplifies the trade.
Strehler shares his workshop with his father in Winterthur, Switzerland, and
creates technically astute timepieces that are collectors’ items around the
world. Strehler designs his watches using CAD computer software, he then works
the machines himself and hand produces every Andreas Strehler watch. Strehler
has even been known to build his own machines to achieve a particular system for
making his watches.
On
occasion using up to 300 hundred parts, Andreas Strehler painstakingly
constructs each timepiece with patience and diligence. Strehler watches are
renowned for their constructions which using only a single set of hands can
demonstrate different time constructions. Andreas Strehler watches use only two
hands to tell the four functions of minutes, hours, date and month. A push
button feature switches from minutes and hours to date and month.
Andreas Strehler first
became known for his perpetual desk calendar and watch. Starting as a combined
unit the watch powers the calendar and once removed the clock will stop. When
the watch returns to the clock slot then the clock will immediately set back to
the correct date including day, month and year. Andreas Strehler’s idea was to
create a stationery tool that was furthermore portable. The portable part, the
Zwei pocket watch, has a mechanical memory that can store up to 21 days of time
before being returned to the calendar base.
