Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Product Description
Star Light, Star Bright. The first star I see tonight. I wish I may, I wish I might…Have the wish I wish tonight. Some of the most memorable words ever written…For the little girl inside all of the big girls who look at the stars outside their window at night and wish for their dreams to come true, Stührling Original’s Star Bright II is a dreamy timepiece that reminds you of your little girl inside. Beautifully crafted and bursting with subtle details, the Star Bright II makes any girl at any age feel special. The magnificently embossed dial with its stunning swirled sun ray design serves as an elegant backdrop to the stars which act as hour markers and the star-shaped offset second-hand sub-dial. But the real "star" of the dial is the clever exhibit of the starry night’s sky in the form of a crescent shaped moon. The sleek alpha-style hands are a perfect choice to complement the poise of the Star Bright II. And to really dress up any occasion, the Star Bright II really sparkles with all natural genuine gemstones strewn around the bezel like the stars are clustered about the night’s sky. And for good measure like the big North Star in the sky, the crown is capped beautifully with a large three millimeter round faceted Swarovski™ crystal. On the technical side, our edict for our ladies collection is to maintain the technical achievement while at the same time providing fashionable timepieces. The Star Bright II is a shining example of our efforts by complementing this exquisite design with a premium Swiss quartz movement which is made with all metal parts and even has two jewels (99.9% of quartz movements do not have any jewels), which means that it is completely repairable! Your Star Bright II will shine for a long time with a case constructed of only the finest nickel-free surgical grade stainless steel (316L) and the crystal through which the beauty of this timepiece shines, is made of Krysterna™ for everlasting enjoyment. On the flip side, the screw-in case-back is decorated gloriously in harmony with the overall theme of the Star Bright II. May all your dreams come true!

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...
