The years are not just a measure of time

For Hausmann & Co. time is a matter of pride and responsibility. In our design, production, sale and servicing activities, which we carry out every day, we have taken a long term approach, starting from that watch shop that first opened in 1794.

Those who turn to Hausmann & Co.to buy a watch, whether it bears our label or that of one of the great Watchmaking firms we represent, or want a pieces of our jewellery collection made to measure, or need the services of our workshops, discover that those years haven’t been lost, they have taught us the best way of approaching the future.

Because each year that passes fuels our pride and our desire to offer simply the best, without compromise.

The Club’s favourite meeting point was the Caffè Greco in via Condotti, a famous and still existing Roman restaurant, in which the dominant language at the time, was German. Koch is one of the few foreign artists who made Italy his homeland, meeting his wife and establishing himself in Italy until his death in Rome in 1839.

Watchmaking as a craft activity

Watchmaking was not yet an industry, but a craft activity in the true meaning of the term. The individual components of the watches were made and repaired by hand, with the aid of tools and machinery often designed and built in the Swiss valleys. Innocenzo Ricci soon became a maestro in this field and was renowned for his skills in creating and repairing the delicate mechanisms of watches. His workmanship became a benchmark of excellence for both high nobility and for the Clergy.

1904

Joseph Anton Koch, progenitor of the Hausmann and Frielingsdorf families, is among one of the most prominent men who was buried at the Camposanto. The founding families of Hausmann & Co., in the two branches Hausmann and Frielingsdorf, still today are found amongst the tombs at the Camposanto. In 1934 Hermann Frielingsdorf, formerly a member of the Brotherhood, bought the family tomb to bury his wife Clelia in it.

As the years went by and the racial laws got harder, Marina’s fears for her life and those of her loved ones grew and the Frielingsdorf family offered to help her. On October 16, 1943 the raids began in the Ghetto of Rome. Marina and her daughter and mother wandered the streets for days, hiding from the SS troops, until they were taken in by Maurizio and Maria.
