Kallinich Claeys

Kallinich Claeys is an independent German watchmaking atelier founded in 2022 by Johannes Kallinich and Thibault Claeys after several years together at A. Lange & Söhne. Combining Johannes’ expertise in movement assembly and design with Thibault’s mastery of machining and hand finishing, the duo set out to create watches that remain deeply rooted in the Glashütte tradition while expressing their own contemporary identity. Their first creation, the EINSER Zentralsekunde, reflects this philosophy through a classically inspired movement, meticulous finishing and a restrained design that showcases the precision and craftsmanship for which Saxon watchmaking is renowned.
