Based in Dresden, Germany, Christian Klings has dedicated his career to the mastery of technical and artistic watchmaking. His work is focused on developing traditional mechanical escapement technology while keeping the spirit of traditional watchmaking alive, creating everything by hand. As a result, the watchmaker has only created a few dozen timepieces over the course of his career. Klings’s inventions include the intriguingly named “Mosquito” and “Desmodromic” escapements, while his watches are more typically special commissions for true collectors.
