Karl Hauptmann
«The Feldberg Painter»
24th April 1880 – 7th April 1947
Karl Hauptmann was born on 25th of April in 1880 in Freiburg i.Br., Germany. He received his artistic training in Nürnberg and Munich and was thereafter engaged as a decorative painter.
In 1908 he produced the first of what were to be his typical Black Forest paintings. In the years between 1915 and 1919, he produced numerous images of the Alpine region he had visited during his deployment with the mountain infantry in the First World War.
In 1918 Karl Hauptmann purchased «Molerhüsli», which for him encompassed his dwelling, atelier, and exhibition space. It soon became a favourite meeting place for skiers, hikers, students, and visitors to Feldberg.
Due to Hauptmann’s ever-present health problems, his doctor prescribed a trip to Italy in 1940, to which he again travelled the following year.
On 7th of April in 1947, Karl Hauptmann died at the age of 67 at his «Molerhüsli».

The flyback function is one of the two most common functions on a chronograph. The name flyback comes from the fact that the hands fly back when the pusher is pressed. Unlike timepieces without a flyback function, chronographs with a flyback function can do this at the touch of a button. When the button is pressed, the current counting process is stopped, and the hands move back to «0». When the button is released again, the new process starts immediately. After its introduction in 1936, the flyback function was mainly appreciated by pilots who needed to start a new count quickly and easily in the cockpit without having to look.
