Pforzheim is the golden jewel of the Black Forest, located in the heart of Baden-Württemberg. The city owes its distinctive character to the diverse landscapes that shape the region. This is where our watches are made – since 1924.
Karl Ickler founded the family-owned company in Pforzheim in 1924. Prior to this, he had worked as a production manager for international companies. He brought this wealth of experience into his watch case manufactory.
All project phases and production steps are carried out in-house: design, engineering, prototyping, parts manufacturing, surface finishing, laser engraving, as well as assembly and quality control.
ARCHIMEDE SHOWROOM
We look forward to welcoming you personally in Pforzheim. All of our watches can be viewed and tried on. Of course, you can also purchase watches directly on site.

Mit einem Durchmesser von 41,5 Millimeter und einer Bauhöhe von nur 13,8 Millimeter ist der OutDoor Chronograph sehr angenehm zu tragen. Die verschraubte Krone bei 3 Uhr sorgt für optimale Bedienbarkeit. Das Datum ist jetzt bei 6 Uhr und das Zifferblatt ist jetzt mit unserem Logo versehen.
HEAT BLUED STEEL HANDS MANUFACTURES IN-HOUSE
In addition to our watch cases, we also manufacture heat-blued steel hands in our own workshop in Pforzheim. This is where traditional craftsmanship meets our many years of experience in precision metalworking. The distinctive blue color is achieved through the careful heating of the steel, without the use of any additional coating. This process requires considerable experience and a delicate touch, as even slight variations in temperature can affect the resulting shade of blue. The result is a beautiful depth of color, with the hands shimmering from subtle dark blue to vibrant blue depending on the light. They create a particularly elegant contrast against lighter dials. Our heat-blued steel hands are available as an optional upgrade for selected ARCHIMEDE models, allowing you to personalize your watch with a special detail crafted in our own workshop.
