The Mauthe Clock Company:

Mauthe clocks were made in Germany by a company that had a long and glorious life producing many thousands of wall, mantel, office and hall clocks. In 1844 Friedrich Mauthe and his wife Marie founded the company in Schwenningen, Germany to produce watch parts. At the end of the 1860s, Mauthe began to produce their own wall clocks (and movements). Some have been produced by home-work by the so-called “Gewerblern” method, a type of cottage industry, while others have been produced in a more “industrial” or factory way.

Mauthe sons Christian and James took over in 1876. In 1886 Mauthe began manufacturing its own spring mechanism.

Around 1900, alarm clocks, pendulum wall clocks, grandfather clocks, office clocks and “Buffet Uhren” or “Buffet clocks” were offered. The number of employees at that time went up to about 1,100 people. In 1904 the 3rd generation took over; Eugene Schreiber – son of Christian Mauthe, Dr. Fritz Mauthe – son of Jacob and Mauthe Alfred – son of Jacob Mauthe.

In 1925 Mauthe announced a new trademark. A right-looking eagle with outstretched wings, holding in its talons and a three-part round plate with the letters F, M and S. was stamped on the backplates. In 1930, the company produced about 45,000 clocks per week and employed a staff of over 2000. About 60% of the clocks were produced for a variety of export markets of which, England was the most important.

In the mid-1930s Mauthe started to manufacture their first wristwatches, some were even supplied to the German Army or “Wehrmacht”.

After a brief pause during the war years, Mauthe resumed production from 1946 onward, with the production of wristwatches. The company managed to carry over into the 50s, 60s and 70s, but eventually declared bankruptcy and closed in 1976.
