15,000 per year is impressive...
Sinn sells 10,000 per year.

Re: How Many CW's Out There
Are you sure about Stowa, 28800bph?
They have an impressive building:
With a "museum" / "gallery":
And have about a dozen employees, I think. Would that really cover only 2500 watches per year (they are hardly high-end prices)?
Maybe Schauers are made there as well...

Re: How Many CW's Out There
Yes, 2500 per year seemed low to me -- this topic was just discussed over on the WUS Stowa forum. Schauer production is limited to 500 per year.
Here is a link to the 2009 interview with Joerg Schauer where he discusses annual production numbers:

More trivia: The Seiko group makes 12 million finished watches and 336 million movements per year (WatchTime Feb 2010, p.47).
