Control clock DigiTimer
The Rauscher DigiTimer is a fully electronic, microprocessor-controlled quartz master clock that meets the highest demands when it comes to controlling tower clocks and bell systems. By using a touchscreen, we have achieved maximum ease of use. The watch is rounded off by a USB slot. This enables program exchange with a PC. PC software for maintaining the data is supplied by us. We would be happy to send you this PC program on request. Thanks to radio synchronization, it is no longer necessary to adjust or change over.
Originally the dials were painted with linseed oil paints. The painter at the time released the recipe for the colors on the back of a dial. The dials date from the late 16th century. The historically separate time display of hours and minutes was retained at Höchstädt Castle. The year 1594 is noted on a small minute dial and on the opposite one is written 1987, the year in which the entire castle and thus the tower clock were last restored.
The dials were painted by hand by the restorer Christine Hitzler and the restorer Peter Englhardt. The special acrylate lacquer was applied thinly and in several layers. The 4 hour dials are 1.80 m square and the minute dials are 1.20 m square. The hour hands have a total length of 100 cm, corresponding to the larger dials. The smaller minute hands are 60 cm long.
