Suggested correction: The show is set in the early 1900's, which is the early 20th century. By the time this event transpired, SOS would have been established as a universal distress signal.
The show starts in 1895 and by season 2, it was still the 19th century and before Germany adopted SOS in 1905.
Question: Can someone tell me the brand of wall clock that hangs so conspicuously in the Inspector's office? Thanks.
