In the workshops of Stuhrling Original, the unit specializing in mechanical movements, factor selection, assembly, lubrication, adjustment and testing produces horological wonders completely beneath vigilant attention of Swiss ownership and supervision. It is these workshops that construct the mechanical engines that are famous for meeting the most eminent existent criteria in there category. Starting with the main plate, the assemblage routine is performed in various successive stages up until anchoring the remainder spring, which sets the watch into motion. Assembling a Stuhrling Original mechanical automatic motion comprises no less than 30 checkpoints, disseminate allround the assemblage process. Adjusting the angle of lift of the pallets, centering the balance-spring, poising the remainder are just a few examples of these checkpoints; of which all are designed to heighten the performance of each movement.

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 exceedingly 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 elements of the cases, such as rotating bezels or rider tabs likewise require a meticulous finish. The parts of the cases are in the long run assembled by hand and rigorously tested.

The transparent protective coating is applied in an immaculately clean environs before the respective inscriptions are transfer printed using a gelatin pad which takes an impression from an inked block. On a good deal of of the dials the hour markers are either on an individual basis employed by hand or embossed into the dial and then topped with a particular 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 beneath uttermost magnification, as well as technical testing, to see to it it complies with all predefined dimensions and specifications.
Through meticulous labor, stringent testing and examination of each timepiece by expert horologists, the vision of the Stuhrling Original timepiece is brought to life inside our workshops, where…
