About Schatz
CHARACTER
Schatz stands for precision with character: ship's clocks and instruments that are not for a fleeting moment, but for years of use. Classic in appearance, serious in technology, designed to shine both at home and on board. Along with Chelsea Clock, one of the oldest brands we carry.
HISTORY
Founded in 1881, today produced by Delite in Måløv (Denmark), where craftsmanship still thrives on the workbench and doesn't belong in a museum. Solidly built, neatly finished, with a reliable movement, for generations. It's no coincidence that the iconic design has hardly changed in almost 150 years.
Available at Studio Maritime since 2011
