Rombach & Haas

About the company

The company Rombach & Haas was founded in 1894. A former farmhouse in the middle of Schonach was chosen as its location. Schonach, the village in the Black Forest, became the centre of the cuckoo clock shortly afterwards and has remained so to this day. At first, it was hardly possible to make a living from producing handcrafted Black Forest clocks, so groceries were also sold in our centrally located company building. A few years later, the Black Forest clock business slowly but steadily picked up, and more and more of these special clocks could be produced. By the beginning of the 20th century, our company was producing exclusively cuckoo clocks, shield clocks and other Black Forest clocks, and the grocery business had been abandoned. The two world wars also brought our company to a standstill, but each time clock production was resumed shortly after they ended. For decades now, we have made a good name for ourselves as "the quality Black Forest clock". The special clocks made in our workshop are unique in design and quality, and so we can look back on strong growth every year. Company owner Ingolf Haas now represents the 4th generation and runs the company together with his wife Conny Haas.
