About Uhren Domann
Uhren Domann is a master watchmaker's workshop in Hamburg, specialising in the repair and restoration of antique and historical clocks, from the small wristwatch to the longcase or tower clock. Owner Wolfgang Domann, a master watchmaker since 1976, completed his training at Gerhard D. Wempe and is a member of the Fachkreis Historischer Uhren (Specialist Circle for Historical Clocks) and the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Chronometrie (German Society for Chronometry). The workshop repairs mechanical, electric and quartz watches as well as musical clocks, and manufactures spare parts of all kinds, such as escape wheels or count levers. Typical operations include drilling, filing and fitting by filing, hardening and tempering of steel parts, grinding and polishing of pivots and pallet stones, as well as replacing and centering of bearings. Clients have included the Peterhof Museum in St. Petersburg and the palace of Maharaja Gaj Singh II in India.
