German clock WW2/ producer of military clocks during the war 22 x12
Mauthe was a German clockmaker founded in 1844 by Friedrich Mauthe in Schwenningen, Germany. The company is known for producing a wide variety of clocks, including wall clocks, mantel clocks, and cuckoo clocks. During World War II, Mauthe was involved in the production of timepieces for the German military.
The logo you provided features a stylized eagle with outstretched wings, a common symbol used in German heraldry and often associated with strength and power. The letters "FMS" likely stand for "Friedrich Mauthe Schwenningen," the founder's name and the company's location.
After WWII, Mauthe continued to produce clocks and became one of the largest clock manufacturers in Germany. The company eventually expanded its product range to include watches and other timekeeping devices.
In 2008, the Mauthe company was acquired by the Egana Goldpfeil Group, which later became the Swatch Group. The Mauthe brand is still used today for some of the Swatch Group's clock products.
