Steinhausen TW-691-G Marquise Female Watch (Gold)

This classic watch was nearly lost to history books. In 1923 a small European watchmaker in the little known region of Steinhausen started manufacturing this rare timepiece. So rare in fact that only a handful of these timepieces were ever made - entirely by hand. Watch antique experts and historians have estimated that an original kinetic watch would have a value of well over $300,000 today.

No one has ever attempted to recreate this classic original until now. Every facet of the Steinhausen TW-691-G has been painstakingly reproduced down to every detail including the graceful, sweeping second hand movement. The uniquely shaped case and buttons are crafted of brushed and polished stainless steel. The handsome ivory face is accentuated by striking roman numerals. Of course the Steinhausen TW-691-G was also updated with kinetic power. Just like the original mechanical movement designed by inventor John Harwood in 1923, this 21 jewel mechanical automatic rewinding watch never needs batteries and never needs to be wound. It is constantly charging itself with the movement of your body.

Hand-cut precious sapphire gemstones have been set into the buttons of the cabochon crown, creating a rich luster. Be the first to wear the Steinhausen TW-691-G, a new addition to the world famous Steinhausen family of timepieces and accessories.

The elegance of Steinhausen for HER.
