The SCHLOSSBERG watch has a timeless and refined character. Inside, clearly visible through the sapphire crystal back, a high-quality hand-wound movement, expertly hand-finished by Daniel Malchert himself, ticks away. While the movement’s architecture is traditionally German in style, its elegant simplicity and logical layout results in a contemporary appearance. The SCHLOSSBERG watch has an outer diameter of 36mm and is extremely flat for a mechanical watch, measuring just 6.5mm thick.
The name of Malchert’s inaugural timepiece is inspired by Quedlinburg’s most celebrated landmark, the Schlossberg. Overseeing the Unesco World Heritage city from a lofty vantage point, the Schlossberg is home to a historical collegiate church, established more than one thousand years ago. With such a ripe regional history, it follows that the SCHLOSSBERG watch is the first in a planned series of historically-grounded timepieces from Malchert.
