1970 | 602 Zaanse Clock

The ”ZAANSE CLOCK” represents one of the most stylish timekeeping pieces of Dutch history. It derives its name from the region of Holland near Amsterdam: “Zaanland” where it was first manufactured around 1720. Alma produced thousands of “Zaanse clocks” and it was this clock that was the founding product for Alma.

1973 | 613 Het Schippertje

“Het SCHIPPERTJE” is a smaller version of the old Frisian Tail clock and was built to fit the limited space in a ship’s cabin and was technically adjusted so the movement of the ship had no influence on the clock’s accuracy. This ship clock is a good example of one of many models that contributed to Alma’s success.

1975 | 600 Frisian Tail Clock

The “FRISIAN TAILCLOCK” originated in the period around 1800 and the hand painted face exemplifies the important role water plays in Dutch life. Friesland, the northern part of The Netherlands, was the most important centre of the production for these types of clocks. The “Frisian Tail Clock” was manufactured in large numbers for many years.
