Fritz Schüler completed the present watch while studying at the prestigious Deutsche Uhrmacherschüle, where students were required to complete their own watch in order to graduate as watchmakers and restorers. At the German Watchmaker’s Conference held at Wiesbaden in 1877, Mortiz Grossmann’s plans for the creation of a Deutsche Uhrmacherschule or German Watchmaking school were approved. Following the conference, a committee was formed that would later become the school’s supervisory board when it formally launched in 1878. The first committee members included: Moritz Grossmann, Richard & Emil Lange, Adolf Schneider, Julius Assmann and Ludwig Strasser.
