The Stuhrling Brand Story

With dedication to the heritage of Swiss watchmaking, Stuhrling Original timepieces appeal to the most discriminating taste at reasonable prices. The company has roots dating back to the 1800's when Switzerland emerged as the global leader in watchmaking. Stuhrling Original remains committed to its mission of preserving the high standards set in Switzerland manufacturing all of their fine timepieces in their Swiss-owned factory! Each and every model conveys an inimitable story with extraordinary style. You'll find heirloom selections for both men and women that even the most astute watch collector will cherish and admire.

In the workshops of Stuhrling Original, the unit specializing in mechanical movements, component selection, assembly, lubrication, adjustment and testing creates horological wonders entirely under vigilant attention of Swiss ownership and supervision. It is these workshops that produce the mechanical engines that are famous for meeting the highest existing criteria in there category. Starting with the main plate, the assembly process is performed in several consecutive stages up until anchoring the balance spring, which sets the watch into motion. Assembling a Stuhrling Original mechanical automatic movement comprises no less than 30 checkpoints, spread throughout the assembly process. Adjusting the angle of lift of the pallets, centering the balance-spring, poising the balance are just a few examples of these checkpoints; of which all are designed to enhance the performance of each movement. The movement must meet no less than seven criteria, including a mean variation in rate which is the highest standard in the industry in its class.

Stuhrling Original cases are distinguished by their technical complexity, their high-end aesthetic appeal and the quality of their finish. The watch cases are made from antimagnetic 316L surgical grade stainless steel, an extremely sophisticated alloy designed to stand up to intensive use. The rough parts, known as "middlecases" are blanked from a metal bar using a high-performance press. They then undergo eight successive stamping operations of a strength increasing gradually from 20 to 85 tons. Before each swaging operation, the middlecase is refired at a temperature of 1100 degrees Celsius, so as to temporarily reduce the hardness to a total stamping pressure of more than 400 tons. Finishing the cases then calls for fifteen polishing operations, all performed by hand alternating with nine baths guaranteeing immaculate cleanliness. Other components of the cases, such as rotating bezels or rider tabs also require a meticulous finish. The components of the cases are finally assembled by hand and rigorously tested.

Each Stuhrling Original dial has been designed to enable optimal read-off at a glance, while adding an element of artistic design. Stuhrling Original's dials are blanked from a brass plate and two cylindrical feet are soldered below to ensure security with the movement. Polishing operations, creating special effects through the use of vintage hydraulic German machines, and electroplating are just some of the more than forty operations required to make most StuhrlingOriginal dials. The transparent protective coating is applied in an immaculately clean environment before the various inscriptions are transfer printed using a gelatin pad which takes an impression from an inked block. On many of the dials the hour markers are either individually applied by hand or embossed into the dial and then topped with a special dye. The application of Super Luminova is performed by artisans with a nozzle pen connected to a high-pressure pipe which calls for intense concentration. Once finished, each dial undergoes careful aesthetic scrutiny under extreme magnification, as well as technical testing, to ensure it complies with all predefined dimensions and specifications.

Through meticulous labor, rigorous testing and examination of each timepiece by expert horologists, the vision of the Stuhrling Original timepiece is brought to life inside our workshops, where...

Customer Reviews

Great watch!
I ordered this watch for myself and am very pleased! It came very nicely packaged and would be a great gift. It is a beautiful watch - the picture doesn't really do it justice. The numbers are closer to black and the markings for 10, 2, 4 and 8 don't look like lightning bolts like they do in the picture. The clasp is definitely a little tricky, but fairly easy to figure out with the directions - it took me about 10 minutes. It looks very nice on my wrist (not too big, not too small) and I am very happy with it so far!

Nice watch
This is a nice watch, very feminine. The face is thin and curves nicely along the wrist. The band looks like some kind of exotic leather but I'm sure it's not. I like the blue numbers, but I like blue in general. The dial is not incandescent, so it will not show up in the darkness. Otherwise, I am very pleased with the watch (as is my girlfriend).

Re. the complaint below. The clasp is a little confusing at first, but it came with a printed instruction sheet for how to work the butterfly clasps. Additionally, anyone who has bought a men's watch with a metal clasp knows what a pain it is to hammer out the little pins holding the band together to make adjustments. This leather butterfly clasp allows the user to permanently keep the watch at the desirable size, and it is much easier than hammering out pins.

This is the nicest leather banded watch I could find on Amazon for a feminine, thin-wristed girl. It is lady like, silver (lots of people hate gold) and not bulky or rounded.

Sleek watch.
I bought this watch for my wife and she is very happy with it. She thinks that this watch is modern, sleek, elegant and a watch that you can use every day.
