REAL CHANGE IN ACTION
CIRCULAR ECONOMY
Carl Suchy & Söhne operates an active end-of-life product and component reclamation program to extend the lifespan of the company's watches and clocks. Based in both Vienna and at the headquarters in Switzerland, the master watchmakers are at the disposal of the brand's luxury clientele to revise, repair, and polish timepieces, should the need arise. They also replace wristbands and other interchangeable watch parts. With over a dozen models, the watchmakers work closely with company suppliers to ensure that the components used in product development are not only designed for the luxury market but are also sustainable. Since production began eight years ago, Carl Suchy & Söhne products have utilized fully recyclable components, which can be reused by both the company and its customers over time, maintaining the same high level of performance.
DIVERSITY, EQUITY & INCLUSION
Carl Suchy & Söhne is a growing business with a dynamic company culture. In the office environment, discussions around innovative ideas are openly encouraged and collectively put into practice. Since the company's inception in 2017, employees have shared a strong sense of belonging. The brand’s comprehensive set of DEI policy commitments applies to daily work, with an emphasis on equal opportunities across job performance, remuneration, promotions, training, retention, and recruitment. All forms of discrimination are actively opposed. Procedures involving all employees are in place to identify shared responsibilities for upholding DEI policies and principles. Strategic approaches to integrating DEI practices into the recruitment process also encompass job postings, contracts, and workplace values.
SUSTAINABLE INNOVATION
Honouring the legacy of the former Carl Suchy watchmaking company of the Habsburg Monarchy, Carl Suchy & Söhne began developing luxury watches almost 200 years later with a novel touch of Viennese elegance and expertise. The brand’s intricate watches stand out for their quality craftsmanship and artistic creativity. Innovative elements such as rotating dials, micro-rotors, and sapphire glass reflect the careful selection of sustainable materials. Among the company’s five watch collections and three table clock collections, annual production is highly limited. The master watchmakers and their collaborators employ labor-intensive techniques to assemble precise components, including built-in power reserves, key winders, precious metals such as gold and rubies, and stainless-steel cases. At Carl Suchy & Söhne, innovation is a driving force for multidisciplinary collaboration and dedicated customer service. Sustainable innovation is not only embedded in the company’s products but is increasingly integrated into the overall business strategy.

A WORD FROM THE CEO
At Carl Suchy & Söhne we are proud to prioritise sustainability as a core principle. Our strictly limited yearly production series reflects our commitment to creating products with quality in mind instead of quantity. Especially our table clock Table Waltz is a testimonial to local craftsmanship, being fully produced in Austria in a strictly limited edition of ten pieces each year. The full production takes about five months and embodies our commitment to craftsmanship and excellence in every step of the manufacturing process. We are proud of our legacy featuring timepieces in our archive that are ticking for 200 years.

PATHWAY TO HIGHER STANDARDS
