A PIECE OF HISTORY ON YOUR WRIST

At the end of the 19th-century, people used to set their watches to public clocks. However, they were inaccurate and could not guarantee precise timekeeping. Consequently, the Vienna Clock Unit placed an order at renowned watchmakers Ing. Emil Schauer for electricity-powered, from all sides readable city clocks, which showed pedestrians synchronized time day and night t. The illuminated modern cube clock named NORMALZEIT with its distinctive dial and hands design was born and perfectly served this purpose “around the clock”. Moreover, it also served people as ideal meeting or rendezvous places.

That the old Vienna clocks showed different times was also due to t o the fact that the various city districts had not agreed on an official standa rd time yet. Hence, on May 1st, 1910, Vienna introduced Central European Tim e (CET), which had already been determined at an international conference in Washington D.C. twenty-six years earlier. In the 1980ies, the number of cube clocks increased to a high of 78 and NORMALZEIT had long become urban furniture, a Vienna landmark e ven.

In close cooperation with Vienna-born watch designer Fredi Brod Mann, who moved to New York in 1987, Lichterloh has now manufactured and a ccording wrist watch in limited edition. In memory of 1907, when the first NORMALZEIT clocks were erecte d, 1.907 numbered watches have been produced. Thus, you can now wear a piece of contemporary history on your wrist!
