luminous finish to hands and numbers by hand which demands intense concentration.Is this a new brand?
Stuhrling Original is a new watch brand with an old tradition, forged in the early years of Swiss horology. Max St?hrling Sr., living in Switzerland during the late 1800s, just as the Swiss were building their legacy as the world's most skilled watchmakers, constructed intricate movements and complications for several industry leaders. He trained his son, beginning a family legacy of watchmakers.
It was the late 20th century, 1999 in fact, when great-grandson Max St?hrling IV, himself a veteran of the watchmaking industry, was able to manufacture distinctive watcheswith the family name as the brand. He insisted the watches be crafted with the same skill, attention to detail and beauty that has been a family tradition for generations.
Why haven't I seen Stuhrling Original watches in the retail stores?
Stuhrling Original is committed to making fine watches available to anyone who appreciates the skill and tradition of watchmaking. In keeping with this dedication, Stuhrling watches are marketed almost exclusively on the Internet--the medium that has made high-quality consumer goods available to more people than ever before.
Most high-end watches have sapphire crystals. What are Krysterna crystals?
Krysterna is a synthetic material that is used in making durable eyeglasses. Watchmakers have discovered its superior properties during the past five years and begun placing Krysterna crystals in their watches. Krysterna is scratch-resistant like sapphire but is less brittle, making it a more shatter-proof material than sapphire.
