from the renowned Glashütter precision-pendulum-clock-maker
Strasser & Rohde are extrem rare.

The company Krauß-Hettenbach was founded in 1862 and was
a long-time watch-workshop and watch store in Stuttgart.
The Ludwigsburg State Archives provides information about a
commercial register entry from 1883-1971. You can often find signed watches
from the company-stores. (source: Jürgen Ermert, Präzisionspendeluhren Band 3)
