JMIUS<\/h3>

The JMIUS brand, founded in 1905, stands for the production of traditional Black Forest shield and cuckoo clocks<\/strong>.<\/p>

On 08 September 2020, I acquired from Mr. Helmar Schlenker, owner of the company and brand J. M. J\u00e4ckle, all rights for the future exclusive use<\/strong> of the company name J. M. J\u00e4ckle (word and figurative mark). The JMIUS brand is part of this acquisition and has since been continued by Richard B\u00fcrk GmbH.<\/p>

With this acquisition, I am committed to preserving the established Black Forest watchmaking tradition and carrying<\/strong> it forward with my own signature and contemporary quality.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
