Carl Suchy & Söhne is an Austrian watchmaker, originally founded in 1822, renowned for blending Viennese elegance with Swiss precision in its handcrafted timepieces.
Carl Suchy & Söhne is an Austrian-revival watch brand named after an historic Viennese clockmaker and watchmaker of the 19th century. Re-established in 2017, the brand produces watches honouring Viennese aesthetic traditions — Art Nouveau influences, architecturally layered dials, and a distinctly non-Swiss visual identity. Their watches are made in collaboration with Swiss watchmaking expertise while asserting a uniquely Viennese design sensibility.
Carl Suchy & Söhne dials draw from Vienna's architectural and artistic heritage — particularly Art Nouveau and Wiener Werkstätte design movements. Their most celebrated dial concept features a rotating disc that reveals and conceals sub-dials as the hour changes, inspired by the Viennese tradition of theatrical mechanical automata. The overall aesthetic is more architectural and art-forward than most contemporary Swiss watches.
The Waltz No.1 is Carl Suchy & Söhne's signature watch, featuring their distinctive 'waltzing disc' complication — a rotating disc that slowly revolves over 12 hours, revealing and concealing different displays as it turns. The name references Viennese waltz culture, and the rotating motion visually references the waltz's circular movement. It launched in 2017 and established the brand's identity as a genuinely distinctive voice in independent watchmaking.
