Erwin Sattler Metrica II
ALWAYS IN STEP WITH THE TIME: THE NEW TABLE CLOCK METRICA II
Metrica II is Erwin Sattler’s modern interpretation of their much-loved, classic desk clock. Thanks to its classic format, sleek lines and contemporary materials Metrica II offers an exquisite option for clock lovers with a modern bent.
Highlights at a glance:
• Beautifully, hand-polished case with metal inlays
• Subtle, hidden, key compartment in the top of the clock
• 15-day power reserve display
• Date display
• Balanced, three-part dial
Whether on a desk or above the fireplace – Erwin Sattler’s Metrica II ticks stylishly and continuously. The time, as well as the date and the power reserve, are always clearly legible on the modern dial. The stunning, high gloss, hand-polished case with polished, metal inlays is the result of continual improvement to the classic desk clock model and the incorporation of contemporary materials. The result is simple, dignified and functional.
The Metrica II is equipped with a reliable, low-maintenance and durable table clock mechanism. For this Erwin Sattler uses its manufactory calibre 1385 with gold-plated gears and built-in ball bearings that enhance the clock’s visual and material value. A complex mechanism fitted into the movement also ensures that the time is displayed precisely when fully wound. This mechanical constant-force mechanism comprising a fusee and steel cable, counters the fact that the driving force, stored in the mainspring, gradually decreases over the course of the 15-day power reserve period and delivers exactness over the entire period.
Glazed on all sides with anti-reflective panes, the case forms the perfect frame for the internal movement. The door of the Metrica II is frameless and therefore an important design element of the overall case appearance. When the case door is opened, the lid of the winding key compartment in the upper cornice automatically rises to reveal its contents. The key is always in a safe place, can be easily removed and the Metrica II can be wound for another 15 days. Straight lines, high gloss polished surfaces and a modern dial design ensure that this table clock will shine in any room it graces.
