In the 1860s there is evidence of a collaboration between FA Beyes and the Hanoverian court clock dealer and tower clockmaker AB Dökel : Their jointly presented "Tower clock, 30 hour movement , with quarter and bell mechanism " had the trade association for Hanover from mid-1868 as news " in the permanent trade exhibition ”.

FA Beyes received second prize for their products, which were shown at the general trade exhibition of the Province of Hanover in 1878. At the end of 1879, the company advertised in the Deutsche Uhrmacher-Zeitung that its products had already been awarded "at 5 exhibitions".
