Even the great-great-great-grandfather of Adalbert and Clemens Mayer repaired and sold watches, and AMS watches have been designed and manufactured in the family business for 175 years. The company is based in Furtwangen in the Black Forest, where Germany's oldest watchmaking school is also located. Modernity has long since arrived here with radio-controlled and quartz clocks, but at AMS they still make wall clocks according to old craftsmanship.
