Zeitwinkel 240° MAKS featured by Escapement

In December of 2024, Angus Davies of Escapement used the recent launch of our sportier model line Zeitwinkel 240° as an opportunity to discuss the Zeitwinkel philosophy. He argues that Zeitwinkel’s “different mindset” goes back to the founders’ desire to build watches they would like to own themselves, without cutting corners.

“Should you ever have the opportunity to examine one of the firm’s disassembled movements, you will discover something quite remarkable. Numerous parts have been painstakingly polished yet are hidden from view, destined never to be seen. It is a form of horological probity that endears me and many watch aficionados to this brand and its timepieces.”
