Kienzle also introduced the first fully automatic stamping clock, which was soon used in thousands of factories around the world.In 1931, he presented the so-called Strapazier-Armbanduhr, which became a very popular product thanks to their robust construction and sales of over 25 million pieces. A year later, he develops an eight-day flight clock for the cockpit.After the Second World War, the company produced, among other things, parking meters called Volksautomatik.
