Products from Barigo
In 2024, another traditional company, Feingerätebau K. Fischer, took over the production of BARIGO instruments. Kurt Fischer founded his precision engineering workshop in Drebach in the Ore Mountains in 1945. The first barometers were produced as early as 1946, followed by other meteorological instruments featuring solid construction and workmanship. In 1963, Bernd Fischer's intensive research work in the field of hygrometry established the excellent reputation of FISCHER hygrometers that continues to this day. The 6-part aneroid barometer measuring mechanism was patented in 1965. In 1972, the company was expropriated by the GDR government and forcibly nationalised as VEB Feingerätebau Drebach. In 1990, the company was reprivatised and returned to family ownership.
The factory in the Ore Mountains now manufactures high-quality measuring instruments and clocks for both traditional brands, BARIGO and FISCHER, which share outstanding technology and precise functionality. As is customary in shipping, the dials are labelled in English. The clocks are delivered without batteries.
