Literature
Winterhalder & Hofmeier (W&H) was a premier German clockmaking firm from the Black Forest region, renowned for producing some of the finest mechanical precision clocks of the Victorian era. Their history spans from the early 19th century until their closure in the 1930s. W&H was known for exceptional quality, so much so that their movements were often mistaken for high-end English ones. They produced various types of clocks, including grandfather (longcase), wall, and mantel clocks, with factories in Friedenweiler, Neustadt, and Schwarzenbach. Their clocks are identifiable by the engraved "W&H Sch" trademark (referencing Schwarzenbach) on the movement.
