Home » Watches Steinhausen Classic (Silver)   Steinhausen Classic (Silver) Price: $199.95 Email this to a friend View our Shipping Charges » 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 alligator-embossed 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.
