Rolf Schneider is not a watch maker, nevertheless, being a good organizer he began partnership with the best professionals, such as Ludwig Oechslin.
He suggested Rolf Schneider, who was searching for new ideas, to start production of astronomic watches. The well known Tellurium Johannes Kepler, Astrolabium Galileo Galilei and Planetarium Nicolas Kopernicus models entered the market as the result of the productive collaboration between Schneider and Oechslin. These wristwatch models are liked not only by astronomers, but by every person who likes interesting wristwatches of the highest quality.
