I only saw two of them in all the years of active collecting. Some people believe this is the most beautiful analogue clock. (My favourite is another one from the 1930s). 

The Fichter is quite heavy (408 g) for its size  (17 cm). The design is indeed outstanding. I will later post a link from a description by Holger Langer) .
