Dials
Rauscher tower clock-faces can be custom made in all sizes and colors and to the
exact specifications of state and monument laws or to those of architects. To make
sure that the design of the tower clock-face perfectly suits the customer wishes,
model dials in original size are made and validated beforehand.
Rauscher clock-faces are made of high-resistant glass-fibre supported polyester
material to assure their long live even under roughest weather
conditions. Upon request the clock-faces can also be made out of stainless
steal or copper. Every clock-face is hand-painted with high quality industry
lacquers and in several layers. Choice of the lacquer as well as the particularly
careful painting process guarantee a maximum durability of the colors through all
kinds of exterior weather influences.
According to the choice of style the clock-faces can be painted with two or more
colors in gothic, roman or arabic numerals. Hand-gilded numerals, ornaments or
other parts can equally accentuate the clock-faces look.
Clock hands
As in ancient times, Rauscher hands are hand-beaten after original models
from 100% copper. No matter of the hands are moulded after gothic, baroque
or very purist modern forms, all of them are grounded several times before
being painted in several layers and before they are hand-gilded with 24 Karat
gold leafs for the finish. The final touch is given through a polish and leaves
each of the hands perfectly shining at the end.
