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

Don't Miss This Buy, You Can't Go Wrong!
I own this watch, only in Stainless Steel. I paid much more. I love it and get many complements. It's a good size, but still feminine and professional looking. I have had many women want to buy it right off my wrist! No way! I love the self-winding. Hate taking watches in for batteries, and they don't seem to last long. This watch is a classic, you won't tire of it and it will last a long time, you will probably be handing it down to relative. You can also change bands if different color is wanted for different seasons/occassions. Enjoy!

Hurry and buy this watch before they are gone!
I just received this watch and wanted to write immediately without the benefit of long term use because my experience was different from one of the other writers.
My watch looked just like the picture except even more beautiful. Did you ever get an item and just shiver because it was so perfect? Well, this watch is worth a lot more than I paid, with free overnight delivery added! I adore it. The band is just like the picture.
As for the oddball instructions cited by the other writer, the only thing I noted like that applied to a date function which was obviously inapplicable to this watch. There was nothing in my instructions that made me at all hesitant to wind it, either manually or by the self wind function. I wound it and it started going just like it should. I have not yet had the time to test its accuracy.
This is no costume piece. It is large (but not too large) and heavy. It comes with a manufacturer's warranty, and it is beautifully and carefully packaged. It might be hard to read in some lighting because of glare, but the hands and numbers are large and easily read if there is no glare. And my eyes are not the best!
I am sorry the other writer did not share my happy experience. By the way, I ordered through Amazon.

MY SECOND STUHRLING WATCH! I LOVE IT
This is the second watch I have bought from Stuhrling. It is beautiful and came exactly as pictured on Amazon. I love the self winding feature and what most people don't understand is that the more you wear it the longer it keeps time. It works based on the motion of your hand. I would never have any other type of watch as who wants to bother with batteries. Rolex also uses this feature. It is hard to find an affordable watch with this feature. I don't know what the other person is talking about, as I phoned Stuhrling and the phone was answered on the second ring. I would recommend this watch to anyone. I have gotten numerous compliments on it. Hope you buy one and enjoy it as much as I have.
