Johann Baptist Beha 1815 to 1898.

Trained by his father the Master-Clockmaker Vincenz Beha
(1784-1868).  Their clockshop was located in the Eisenbacher
Zinken, hamlet of Harzerhauser auf dem Hoechst, (Black Forest),
the Beha clan designed, constructed the first Fuse, the first
heavy brass cast plate clocks of outstanding quality.

Beha constructed precision calendar and master clocks.

The sons of Johann Beha, designed and manufactured cuckoo,
quail, music clocks.  The Beha clocks achieved international
recognition.  The report of the Industrial fair in Karlsruhe/
Germany, in 1861 stated "Johann Baptist Beha in Eisenbach,
displayed thirty Cuckoo Clocks in various sizes and models,
some with blinking eyes, cuckoo and quails calls"

Father Vincenz devoted much of his time inventing and
constructing top grade precision clocks.  One of his
masterworks can be seen in the Inn "Zum Bade" in Eisenbach.


I've been to Karlsruhe and Eisenbach, and wish I had the
liking for clocks and watches back then that I do now, I
would have appreciated the 4 1/2 year stay even more then
I did at the time.
