Erwin Sattler is a German horology brand that creates every type of timepiece imaginable from nautical instruments to wristwatches, table clocks, and longcase clocks in their Gräfelfing workshop near Munich. For 2026, one of their flagship releases is the new Troja M II longcase clock series, which consists of three models: the Lunaris, Sonata and 16. Each is designed to be the centrepiece for you horological collection at home, serving as a piece of mechanical art, a timepiece and a storage option for your wristwatches thanks to 16 in-built watch winders.
The Troja 16 M II is the base-line model, although describing it as such feels like a disservice to how complex it is. It measures 219.5cm height, 45.5cm width and 50cm depth with a black varnished walnut case with metal inlay. There are eight, remotely extendable and programmable watch winders built into each side of the case (16 total) that extend the width to 70cm at full extension like the hood of a cobra. The base of the clock serves as a safe to store additional valuables such as more watches or jewellery, and the piece can be integrated into your home security systems at request.
On a horological level, the clock is powered by the Sattler calibre 1965 based on the Classica Secunda 1995 M. The dial is partially openworked so that you can view the mechanism in motion and it has a 1m pendulum that swings at a rate of once per second. It has a 30-day power reserve, meaning it only needs to be wound once per month. The dial and case interior are available in multiple finishes, with a light silver-white option and full black edition. In either variant, the Troja 16 M II uses a regulator style display with hours, minutes and seconds displayed on separate scales.
The Troja Lunaris M II and Troja Sonata M II are like a branching evolution that each take the clock in different directions. The Lunaris M II introduces a complete calendar display to the clock with days of the week, date and moonphase alongside the hour, minute and second functions. Like the dials of all three models, it’s a fusion of modern and classical with flawless vertical brushing, a railway minute track, Roman numerals, and visible screws, alongside the open-heart window at 12 o’clock. It’s powered by the calibre 1915.
Meanwhile, the Troja Sonata M II features a chiming complication that auditorily tells the time each half hour. The display of this clock features hours, minutes, seconds and moonphase. The movement here is the Sattler calibre 2015. I always find it important with Erwin Sattler clocks to remember that although they are sleek and modern, they are handmade – preserving traditional horological skills.
The Erwin Sattler Troja M II longcase in any of its variants is the foundation for your entire watch collection at home. Priced at €133,900 – €171,390 (approx. £112,000 – £143,000) depending on the model and specifications.
