Gustav Becker. How did his name become as big as it is today? Well, back in the 1800s he started as a clockmaker learning from many masters throughout Germany. Germany at that time period was the most important country in the clock industry. As Becker worked around the country, his skills gave him the ability to fix clocks on a higher level. In 1847, he opened a small clock shop of his own creating clocks in the Viennese model. At this point, Becker moved his business to a better location due to his success.

Becker’s breakthrough was in 1852, where he brought his clocks to the Silesian Clock Fair. Crowds were drawn to the quality of his work. He was awarded the Gold Medal for the best clock in the fair. In 1854, his orders grew in number making his work more popular. Becker received a fortune from Duke of Martibore, allowing his business to grow.

Now in the 1860s, he began to create the Classical Gustav Becker clocks that are known around the world. The clocks became complex and very ornamental, leading to his sales rising to a peak in 1875, with over 300,000 clock orders. His workmanship is known and respected all around the world, having won in clock fairs in London, Paris, Sydney, Melbourne, Berlin, and Amsterdam.
