Winterhalder & Hofmeier

The company was part of the Black Forest clockmaker industry as its factory was located in Titisee-Neustadt and surroundings and as it subscribed to high quality standards.

Even his grandfather Nikolaus Winterhalder (1710-1743) made quality Black Forest clocks with wooden cogs and weights from stones.

The next generation, i. e. Anton, Karl, Thomas und Johannes, changed firm name and responsibility in 1869 ("oHG").

The third generation formed on December 19, 1908, a company of limited liability (Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung).

[2] After First World War former export markets were no longer in need for Winterhalder precision clocks because of import duties, Hyperinflation in the Weimar Republic, Great Depression and competing mass products.

After his death the company Winterhalder & Hofmeier had to stop production in 1933 due to lack of liquidity.

[7][8] A private collection of Winterhalder & Hofmeier clocks is located in Schwaerzenbach, a part of the city of Titisee-Neustadt.
