Egon Berne

The year 2024 started with a giant package of movements and watches, which increased the number of movements in the archive by almost 20 and also brought a few yet non working movements in the archive back to life.

Egon donated these movements to the archive, because they are non-usable items for his project “Uhren für Rumänien” (watches for Romania).

This project, which started in the german Uhr-Forum consists of collecting usable watches (mostly quartz, with changed batteries) and donating them to Romania, where they are happily used. Until January 2024, almost 2500 watches were collected and sent to Romania, and their number is still increasing.

As soon, as the movements are officially added to the archive, which will probably happen in 2026, they will be linked here, too.
