Kienzle Watches

Kienzle Watches, a prestigious name in horology, was established in 1822 in Schwenningen, Germany, by master clockmaker Johannes Schlenker. What began as a small clockmaking endeavor steadily evolved, with the official brand name Kienzle being introduced in 1883 by Schlenker’s son-in-law, Jakob Kienzle. By 1897, Kienzle had become a full-fledged manufacturer, capitalizing on the demand for pocket watches and precision wall clocks.
