The company known as Schatz was first known as Jahresuhrenfabrik. The company was founded by August Schatz in the mid-1850s in the Black Forest region of Triburg, Germany. It was registered in 1881 as Schatz & Wintermantel, and was re-structured in 1884 as Jahresuhrenfabrik A.G. It was registered again in1897 as Jahresuhrenfabrik GmbH, and finally in 1923 as Jahresuhrenfabrik August Schatz & Sohne. They produced cuckoo clocks, barometers, and 400- day clocks. In later years, they produced electric clocks and battery- operated quartz clocks. The company struggled to compete in the early 1980s, and finally closed down in 1985.
