Swiss inventor and architect Ulrich Van-Heusen was a master craftsman who
dedicated himself to his trade. He lived in an era when only the wealthy could
afford a timepiece. But in 1923, Van-Heusen completed his first automatic calendar
watch - only one of seven he ever completed. It displayed not only the time,
but also the date, day and month; and it was the first to designate the difference
between AM and PM. Van-Heusen named his brand Steinhausen after the region in
Switzerland from where his family came. He was steadfast in his belief that
wristwatches, not the prevalent pocket watch, would eventually become an item
people could not live without. And he was correct! The Great Depression almost
eliminated handmade watches of this quality. One that remains today fetched
$300,000 at auction. Wristwatches became the must-have item for people of all
social strata, but the distinguished gentry continued to buy Steinhausen's handcrafted
marvels.
Steinhausen continues its reputation of producing the finest workmanship and
classy designs. And nowwe are pleased to re-introduce the original Steinhausen
model with stylish updates.
Like the original Steinhausen, each watch is painstakingly reproduced by hand
from 185 genuine Swiss parts. Then it is so rigorously tested for two weeks
that just six percent of movements made end up in a Steinhausen. Swiss automatic
movement standards allow for an accuracy of +25/-27 seconds per day. Our Steinhausen
watches rate +15/-13 seconds per day, making it more accurate. The Limited Edition
Classic follows the tradition of displaying the day, date, month, year, and
moon and stars depicting day and night. The sweeping second-hand movement, brushed
and polished stainless steel, and ivory face with Roman numerals is included,
too. Thirty-five jeweled stones inside aid movement and accuracy; and interchangeable
brown and black leather wristbands will match whatever clothes you're wearing.
It comes in a handsome felt-lined wood box, along with a card certifying its
authenticity.
Try the Classic for a month. If you are dissatisfied with the beauty and accuracy,
or if you aren't receiving compliments from people, return it. We'll refund
your money. Steinhausens are must-haves among Japanese and European collectors.
Steinhausens are only found in luxury boutiques and through Steinhausenonline.com.
Do not buy from anywhere else, for you will be buying an imitation. The value
of the Classic is sure to increase over time - not just monetarily but also
in the amount of attention you'll receive. Until now, most of us couldn't afford
a timepiece of such masterful style and quality. Be the first to wear this remarkable
new addition to the world-famous Steinhausen line.
