Conrad Wiegand Peine, Hanover (1864-1940)A renowned German chronometer maker with his own horological workshop in Peine. He trained with watchmaker Chr. Rademann in Peine and afterwards went to Stuttgart from 1885 to 1887 to work with famous chronometer maker Ernst Kutter, where he learned to make astronomical pendulum clocks and chronometers. After a short stint in Naples he started working for the well-known company Hartmann & Felsing in Berlin.After returning to Peine he set up his own workshop. At the suggestion of chronometer maker William Meier in Hamburg he began producing navy chronometers from 1905 on, which were of such supreme quality that he submitted them to all tests at the German Naval Observsatory from 1907 on with great success. Approx. 100 of his chronometers were used by the imperial navy and later the Reichsmarine. Wiegand was in contact with the best makers of his time such as Frielingsdorf, William Meier, Hugo Müller, Georg F.
