About Us
Tempus Arte GmbH & Co. KG was founded on April 4, 2013 in Munich. It includes companies in the watch industry that develop, manufacture and produce outstanding timepieces, movements and individual watch parts at the highest level.
The group currently includes the watch manufacturer Lang & Heyne from Dresden, the Uhren-Werke-Dresden (UWD), STOWA watches from Pforzheim and a financial stake in BLAKEN from Menden.
The company is privately owned by the Rohde family, allowing it to maintain complete autonomy. This enables Tempus Arte GmbH & Co. KG to determine its own entrepreneurial development and pursue long-term goals, ensuring continuity and building trust.

This, of course, in the best technical and artistic execution. From the first vision and planning to the finished work of art, specialists from a wide variety of areas work on the exclusive timepieces. They are BORN IN SAXONY.
STOWA Since the company was founded by Walter Storz in 1927, STOWA watch models from the Black Forest have been a source of fascination worldwide. Aviation and Bauhaus watch models that have become classics have made a lasting contribution to the company's success. In keeping with the company claim "Time is valuable", STOWA is aware of the demands and importance of its own work. Perfectly designed, competently implemented and with honest commitment, STOWA offers a service that goes far beyond the actual sale.

STOWA is a pioneer in the online trade of high-quality watches through direct sales and can now look back on a history spanning more than 95 years.
BLAKEN Is the number one service company worldwide when it comes to customizing and personalizing luxury watches. At the customer's request, the models of exclusive brands are subjected to an optical transformation process by experienced specialists. The results are unique pieces that bear the personal signature of their owners.
Uhren-Werke-Dresden Inspired by the positive developments on the market for high-quality mechanical watches, UWD was founded in early 2013.
