Schauer Chronograph Kulisse Edition 10

Chronograph in its purest form

The Schauer Kulisse Edition 10 model represents the essence of German independent watchmaking in its purest form. In this model, Jörg Schauer combined austere technical aesthetics with precise craftsmanship to create a watch that is immediately recognizable. The case, approximately 41 mm in diameter, is distinguished by twelve screws in the bezel, a characteristic signature of the brand. Underneath the minimalist, perfectly legible dial, ticks a reliable Swiss Valjoux 7753 movement, modified and decorated to Schauer's standards. Edition 10 was produced in limited quantities and remains one of the brand's most sought-after models, as it served as a kind of prototype chronograph for the entire Kulisse series. Its strength lies in the combination of robustness and elegance – it is a watch that functions as a tool, but at the same time possesses an undeniable aesthetic character. For a customer looking for a watch with a clear identity, a handmade signature, and technical consistency, the Edition 10 represents an exceptionally strong choice, also in terms of its collector's value.

Who is Jörg Schauer

Jörg Schauer is one of the most prominent figures in contemporary German independent watchmaking. Born in 1968, he began his professional career as a goldsmith and watchmaker, focusing from the outset on precision, detail, and quality of workmanship. In the 1980s, he trained in traditional watchmaking and soon after began working as an independent manufacturer of cases for various German and Swiss brands. It was this perfect mastery of case production that later became one of his main distinguishing features.

In the early 1990s, he decided to strike out on his own and in 1990 founded the brand bearing his name – Schauer. In the beginning, he produced watches in very small series, often only dozens of pieces, emphasizing manual work and an individual approach to each model. His goal was not to compete with large manufactures, but to offer something that was missing in German watchmaking at the time – modern, technically precise watches with a clear visual identity. His steel cases with twelve screws in the bezel, distinctive dial legibility, and the combination of a "tool" character with subtle aesthetics soon became his trademark.

Thanks to his approach, Schauer quickly gained recognition among collectors across Europe. Each piece bore his personal signature – not only as a designer but also as someone who genuinely participated in the production. All production was limited, to only a few hundred watches per year, which gave the brand exclusivity. In the late 1990s, Jörg Schauer also acquired the well-known Stowa brand, expanding his operations and contributing to the renaissance of classic German pilot watches. However, he never abandoned his own Schauer brand, which he kept as a personal creative platform.

The beginnings of the Schauer brand are thus based on authentic watchmaking craftsmanship, the courage to go one's own way, and a clearly defined design language. All this has made it a respected player in the segment of independent manufacturers, still appealing to connoisseurs seeking authenticity, not mass production.

Thanks to the sale of the Stowa brand, Jörg now once again has the time and space to devote himself to his creative projects under the Schauer brand.
