NT 7 – Matthias Naeschke

Description

NT 7

Perfectly crafted attention to detail

A very special attention to detail as well as innovative ideas and their implementation in perfect craftsmanship characterize all clocks from our company. The NT 7 table clock from Matthias Naeschke is no exception. Thanks to its transparency, nothing remains hidden. Apart from the red of the ruby jewels and the pallets, the colors black and silver dominate this table clock. A rhodium-plated movement with an eight-day running time, developed exclusively for this clock, sits on two matt black pillars in a case that is also matt black. Fine polishing and satin-finishing on the individual movement parts skilfully set modern accents.

Special barrel as a special feature

The oversized gear wheel with the round ruby pallets on the anchor is typical of Naeschke. In addition to the extremely precise manufacture of all components, a compensation pendulum ensures the necessary accuracy. The barrel of the NT 7 table clock is a special feature. The mainspring usually sits in a cylindrical barrel closed on one side with a milled gear rim. The open side of the barrel is later closed with a screwed cover after the mainspring and spring core have been inserted. In the NT 7, however, the 4 mm thick drive wheel already forms part of the mainspring barrel. It is machined to the correct diameter for the mainspring and fitted with a six-fold bolted flange at the front and rear.

Numerous hidden technical refinements

The clever design of the parts gives the impression when looking at the movement that the clock does not need a mainspring at all. The black dial in the form of an openworked 8 with Arabic numerals is restrained and clearly drawn. The seconds display on this clock is also interesting. Instead of the usual 60 seconds per revolution, the second hand here rotates in two minutes.

In its design language, the NT 7 table clock from Matthias Naeschke is neither absolutely classic nor ultra-modern. Rather, it is a kind of chameleon. Depending on the finished version, it adapts perfectly to the respective furnishing style. In keeping with our style, this table clock model also offers a wide range of customization options. For example, the movement can be polished gold-plated and all versions can be finished with a polished glass lintel. A bicolor version with a gold-plated gear train and rhodium-plated plates is also possible. There are also almost no limits to the case and the materials used and their processing.
