[Ernie Romers]

Jörg Schauer became a watchmaker in 1990 at the age of just 22. By 1995 he had established
his own eponymous watch company in the Black Forest. The following year Schauer acquired
STOWA, and started to introduce a range of limited edition watches including Flieger Automatics
and Flieger Originals.​

Schauer took on the brand and had the restraint and foresight not to try and turn it into
something different. He has even gone as far as to have an in-house STOWA museum which
displays some of the beautiful, crisp and simple STOWA's of the past.

Looking at what went before undoubtedly shows that Schauer has remained true to the heritage
of the brand, as can be witnessed with models such as the Marine Original and the Stowa
Chrono.​

The Einzeiger Limited Edtiion watch features a single handmade solid gold hand. Only 25 pieces
of each colour will be made (cream, white, black and rhodium coated) Each hand is made
personally by Jörg Schauer using 18 karat pink gold for this. The movement used is a very rare
old stock movement made in Germany: the Durowe 7426-4. A beautiful hand made watch from
a master German watchmaker.

That watch is a true work of art. Stunning.

 

[Melchior]

That exhibition back is beautiful.
Currently, the Einzeiger is being offered with this curious case back, which obscures most of the movement

 

[StufflerMike]

I am missing something ?

The pic in Ernies's post isn't the old DUROWE 7426-4 movement, it is the new 7440 as we can clearly see engraved on the back.

 

[Andrzej]

Also a bit strange - that watch was announced, and on the website last year??

 

[wronghand]

interesting piece, how much is this watch? and how long the waiting will be?

 

[Andrzej]

I am sure the price that was being quoted was $4200. I suspect that there will be a bit of a wait!

I'm still confused about the production of these "Einzeiger" watches since Mr. Romers started this thread.
The staff at Stowa assure me that the "Einzeiger Gold" is produced with the case-back having the small circular window, off centre.
So which watch is the "Einzeiger" No. 06/100 shown above in the first post of this thread having a beautiful display-back containing the Durowe 7440 movement ?

If anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.

I do not know by whom and why the pictures have been mixed up. I am sure, the pic in question shows the back of the Einzeiger Black, introduced in Basel 2011 (SCHAUER - Basel 2011).

Here is mine with a couple of other Kleine Schauers.
The model is the Phantom, also a limited edition of 50, and with an old Durowe movement.

Mike, Andrzej,

Thank you, gentlemen, for the information and photographs. I now understand.
