True Mechanical Watches, Crafted by Hand

Schaumburg Watch was founded in 1998 in Rinteln, Lower Saxony, Germany, by Frank Dilba, a young entrepreneur and watch enthusiast. Eschewing commercialism and cost reduction through mass production, the brand is known for its timepieces meticulously finished by skilled artisans, each imbued with passion for the discerning few who truly understand watches.
With exceptional craftsmanship evident in every detail, from case finishing and movement polishing to the coating of tiny screws, these true mechanical watches are highly valued for their rarity and are acclaimed among watch connoisseurs as hidden gems from Germany's Schaumburg region.
Schaumburg Watch has released the new "Church Tower Screw Balance," a limited edition of 55 pieces. It features a sterling silver dial and a Schaumburg Watch movement bridge shaped like a church spire, processed in the Gothic window style prevalent from the 12th to 16th centuries. Each watch is engraved with a serial number.
The movement is a hand-wound "SW-07.1" featuring a balance wheel with regulation screws and a 3/4 plate. As an option, the caliber "SW-08" using chronometer components is also available. This series eschews lacquer entirely; all patented colors are achieved through handmade heating and discoloration processes. The case itself changes color over time, making each model a unique piece.
