Table Clock Alarm German Company Thiel Old

Description: Watch brand THIEL, Germany, made approximately 1920s.I surfed the Internet and to my surprise found a lot of interesting information about this watch brand. I share with you. The beginning of the watch empire.Gebrüder Thiel GmbH was founded in 1862 and specialized in the production of watches for the military and merchant fleet of Germany. After the war, THIEL was renamed RUHLA. The Thiel brothers, the founders of the brand, decided to reorient their private production to the production of watch cases. And they did the modernization successfully, which made it possible to make a considerable fortune and earn the fame of manufacturers of high-quality watch cases. Young blacksmiths had long dreamed of founding a manufactory, and the name and money earned made it possible to make dreams come true. After a deep study of the structure of precise mechanisms, poaching the best masters of Swiss watches and purchasing high-precision equipment, a real conveyor was launched in 1892. Gears, springs and pendulums were previously tested on the music boxes that were so popular in the second half of the 19th century. Immediately conquer Europe was not easy. And the brothers decided to act differently, they chose the United States as the main market for finished products. Swiss and German watches in those days were popular across the ocean, but only among the owners of their own companies and big bosses who could afford such a luxury. But conveyor production allowed to significantly reduce costs and they managed to harmoniously fit into the average price niche. The Thiel brothers quickly figured out to conclude contracts with copyright holders for popular images. So, for example, the children's model began to decorate Mickey and Mini Mouse from the first series of Walt Disney, which appeared in the 1920s. And when almost the entire American army switched to Thiel, then they started talking about them in Europe. The factory was running at full capacity, producing millions of copies a year. The rise of the Nazis to power in Germany made this factory the official supplier of the Wehrmacht. Very high quality models of German and Swiss watches were necessary for the soldiers of the Third Reich, how sad it is to say. After the defeat of Nazi Germany, production was retained under the auspices of the German Democratic Republic. Capacities grew to unprecedented volumes, and collapsed in 1991, after the reunification of Germany. But all this happened already under the Ruhla brand, widely known in the USSR. In 2006, the famous German watch brand Thiel Ruhla returned to the market with a new collection of watches. For 60 years nothing was heard from Thiel Ruhla. And only recently the grandchildren of the famous Reinold Thiel got together and decided to recreate the famous brand. Since then, a team led by Kaspar Reich has started working and has created several innovations that will soon hit the market.It is difficult even for professionals to name the most massive and at the same time very reliable watch products of the 20th century. But in the top ten will definitely be the German watch company Thiel, in a later version known as Ruhla. The clock I sell is in perfect order, ticking and ticking, bringing peace with its sound. They maintain accuracy, are unpretentious in repair, have a concise design and excellent build quality. I would recommend to a future buyer to give them for easy prophylaxis to a normal watchmaker. To be honest, I have not given them for service for a very long time. Cleaning and lubrication will undoubtedly benefit them and give them another 30 years of trouble-free operation.
