Berlin has always had a lot to offer. One of the outstanding industrial companies was ASKANIA AG, founded in 1871, which began to manufacture ship clocks and compasses back in the century before last. Since the re-establishment of ASKANIA AG by Leonhard R. Müller in 2004, mechanical luxury watches have been developed and designed in Berlin, and only two years later, in 2006, ASKANIA AG started watch production. Since then, Berlin has also been a watch location again.
