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.
