The Steinhausen StorySwiss inventor and architect Ulrich Van-Heusen was a master craftsman who devoted himself to his trade. He lived in an era when only the wealthy could afford a timepiece. But in 1923, Van-Heusen finished his introductory 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 primary to designate the divergence amidst AM and PM. Van-Heusen named his brand Steinhausen after the region in Switzerland from where his family came. He was steadfast in his faith that wristwatches, not the prevalent pocket watch, would at last become an item people could not live without. And he was correct! The Great Depression almost annihilated 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 proceeds it is reputation of devising the finest workmanship and classy designs. Like the initial Steinhausen, each watch is painstakingly reproduced by hand from 185 authenti Swiss parts. Then it is so strictly tested for two weeks that just six percent of movements made end up in a Steinhausen. Swiss automatic motion standards concede for an accuracy of +25/-27 seconds per day. Our Steinhausen watches rate +15/-13 seconds per day, making it more accurate.
