This wonderful piece is something of a curiosity: the movement number differs from the case number by 1,000. The company records state that the engraver made an irreversible mistake; this is confirmed by the extract from the archives of the Glashütte watch museum. Max Stellmann was a German watchmaker who trained at the German watchmaking school in Glashütte from 1906 to 1908. He was a member of the school Saxonia Fraternity and lived in Hanover.
