Our manufactory line is based on the traditional craftsmanship of Glashütte – the time when our family company manufactured speedometers, car clocks and measuring instruments for the German watch factories in our Saxon homeland. This legacy is expressed, for example, in the screwed gold chatons of the Robert Mühle caliber – or in the rare three-fifths plate with which we enrich today’s clockwork technology.
In 2014 we not only celebrated the 145th anniversary of the company founding by Robert Mühle, but also 20 years of Nautische Instrumente Mühle-Glashütte. For this double anniversary, we presented an exclusive special edition of three timepieces: the Robert Mühle Auf/Ab Gold, the Robert Mühle Auf/ab and the Robert Mühle Kleine Sekunde. These marked the beginning of our manufactory line “R. Mühle & Sohn ”. Its youngest member is the Robert Mühle Mondphase, with which the third self-constructed complication finds its way into the manufactory line. In addition to the new moon phase display, the 42 millimeter platinum, red gold and stainless steel cases of the new special edition house the in-house up/down display from 2014 and the Mühle pointer date developed in 2016.
With Thilo Mühle, our company has a fifth generation managing director at its head. Under his leadership, Mühle-Glashütte has developed step by step into what is called a manufactory in watchmaking: that is, a watch manufacturer who has the ability to design its own movements and manufacture most of the components for it itself. The first step in this direction is our MU 9408 chronograph movement. This is based on a basic movement that we modified so deeply that a separate caliber designation was necessary. The first completely self-constructed movement was our manual winding movement MU 9411, which was used in the Teutonia III Handauzug (manual winding). This development was crowned in 2019 by the new Robert Mühle caliber 04.
With the manufactory line “R. Mühle & Sohn “begins a new chapter in the 150-year history of our family company. This is mainly due to the movements: the Robert Mühle calibers RMK 01 to RMK 04. In addition, the models from the “R. Mühle & Sohn” manufactory line not only insoire with particularly elegant cases made of 18 carat gold or 950 platinum, but also with many other technical refinements:
