Maker

The firm Rup. Amann Fabrik für Federzug- & Gewicht-Regulateure, of Mülhheim [on the] Donau, in Württemberg, founded in 1867, was sold in 1882 to Reinhold Schnekenburger.

It continued as R. Schnekenburger GmbH a.d. Donau — with the rose with the RSM as a trademark. Then amid financial problems, what by 1900 had become the Uhrenfabrik Mühlheim vorm.

R. Schnekenburger was taken over by a creditor, Albert Müller. And on 10 September 1900 and became the ”Uhrenfabrik Mühlheim, Müller & Co.”
