Company history From a store to a chain of stores On May 5, 1878, at the age of 21, Gerhard Diederich Wilhelm Wempe, a trained watchmaker, ventured into self-employment by founding his own company with a starting capital of 80 marks in Elsfleth, a small town near the North Sea on the Lower Weser. Wempe is a marketing talent. He decoratively places the watches on homemade velvet-covered boards, the "cartouches," and installs large display windows and showcases in his aunt's parlor. When shipbuilding in his home country was in crisis, Wempe moved to Oldenburg in 1894 and founded a watch and jewelry business there that quickly expanded. In 1907, Wempe ventured into the metropolis of Hamburg, where he opened what is now called a "flagship store" at Schulterblatt 141. On the facade, a large clock with three dials beckons. In just seven years, four more stores are built in Hamburg. The "Möwe" pocket watch is produced for the first time exclusively for a German retailer near Geneva. At the beginning of the war, sales drop abruptly by 75 percent. The sickly soldier Herbert Wempe, son of Gerhard d. Wempe, who joined the company at the age of 15, is not sent to the front and can take care of the business in the evenings. Company founder Gerhard d. Wempe dies on May 4, 1921. In 1923, the year of inflation, Herbert Wempe buys the house on Hamburg's Steinstrasse, which becomes the company's headquarters as "Haus Gülden Gerd. In 1925, Wempe's good relations with the Swiss watch industry bear fruit: the company is given exclusive representation in Hamburg for the Swiss watch brands Omega, Longines, Movado On January 1, 1938, Herbert Wempe took over the Hamburg Chronometerwerke, which had been founded in 1905 by major German shipowners from Hamburg and Bremen. In 1942, Wempe develops a patent for a standard chronometer, which is still produced in Hamburg today. After the war, the son Hellmut Wempe takes over the management of the company. The company expands again and in 1953 has five branches in Hamburg. In 1960, additional stores were opened in Lübeck, Bremen, Berlin, and Hanover. This is followed ten years later by the branch in Frankfurt, which takes the company beyond the borders of northern Germany. In the style of Tiffany and Cartier, the stores are now located in the best inner-city locations of the major cities. Kim-Eva Wempe officially joins the company in 1987. She participates as a designer in the creation of the jewelry collections and bears increasing responsibility in the management. The step abroad In 1980, Wempe takes a big gamble by opening a branch on New York's Fifth Avenue, and some time later it also opens in Paris at Place de la Concorde, one of the best and most prestigious locations anywhere. His approach proves to be a success and secures the company a place among the great purveyors of luxury goods. Stores were also opened in Vienna and, in 1997, in London on New Bond Street in prime city locations. Schatz After the bankruptcy of Schatz Jahresuhrenfabrik in 1996, the company Wempe took over the brand name Schatz which was originally founded as Uhrenfabrik Wintermantel & Co. Wempe took over only the production and sale of marine instruments as the product area Schatz. Then the brand came in 1998 in the hands of Kundo-Staiger until the company Staiger had to file for bankruptcy in 2000. The brand Schatz came in 2012 in the hands of the company Delite in Måløv near Copenhagen. Expansion and new impetus in eastern Germany After the fall of the Berlin Wall, it is a matter of course for Wempe to expand into the East as well. Between 1991 and 1996, stores open in the Mädler-Passage in Leipzig, at the Altmarkt in Dresden, and in Berlin-Mitte on Friedrichstrasse. Wempe is also involved in Glashütte, where it renovates the observatory in 2005 and sets up a watchmaking facility and an independent chronometer testing center. Wempe as a manufacturer of high-quality mechanical watches In cooperation with Nomos, Wempe launches its own line of watches under the brand name Wempe Chronometerwerke Glashütte i/sa, which is presented on October 16, 2006. This marks the first time in 36 years that German wristwatch chronometers are available again. Wempe presents two watch lines: Wempe Zeitmeister with round cases and Wempe chronometer movements in tonneau form (Wempe chronometer movements manual winding, caliber cw 1, Wempe chronometer movements tourbillon, caliber cw 2). |
