1894, after he finished his studies, he built himself an artist’s workroom in Freiburg i.Br. At this time he went on a lot of trips and his trusty camera followed him everywhere. Five years later he started to number and comment his artworks, which he collected in 29 «Bildbüchern (books of pictures)».
In the winter months from 1905 to 1907 he stayed in the Todtnauer Hütte, where a lot of his oil studies arise.
The snowy winter landscapes became his typical theme and he called himself «Schneemoler (snowpainter)». 1917 he received his professorship by Grand Duke Friedrich II.
In 1927 he had an exhibition with artists like Curt Liebich, Julius Heffner, Wilhelm Nagel, Wilhelm Wickertsheimer a.o., they called themselves «Die Schwarzwälder (the Black Forests)». He died on the 20th of March in 1935 in Hinterzarten. Today his works are extremely appreciated because the snowy landscape present the untouched nature.

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.
