Home » Watches Steinhausen Marquise Sapphire Automatic Watch   Steinhausen Marquise Sapphire Automatic Watch Price: $199.95 Email this to a friend View our Shipping Charges » The sands of time had forgotten this classic Steinhausen watch of the 1920s, now a very rare timepiece which is being re-issued for vintage-lovers everywhere! Only a handful were ever made - entirely by hand at the Steinhausen workshop. Antique experts and historians estimate the value of an original kinetic watch would today reach well over $300,000. Yet, this authentic re-issue of one of the first timepieces which could display day, month and date, with illustrations of the stars and moon representing AM and PM, is now yours to own. Like the 1923 original, the case and buttons are brushed and polished stainless steel, but the watch has also received an update - kinetic power. This automatically-self-winding watch never needs a battery change or winding by hand. The movements of your body keep it fully charged and ticking. So, what are you waiting for? This limited edition issue of a classic design will soon be a rare commodity like its 1920s forefather. The Limited Edition Steinhausen Marquise features fetching hand-cut Precious Sapphire Gemstones, which are set into the buttons. This is one gem of a watch -- makes a great gift for a loved one.

It's nice to get the latest in technology combined with real classic style. The blue accents on the buttons are a nice touch. Candace on 2005-04-17 I gave one to my grandfather as a gift, and he remembers the original watches that these were modeled after from when he was a young boy, and Sapphire is his birthstone too, so it really was the perfect choice. Being older, he usually thinks that nothing is made as well as it used to be in "his day" but he made none of those comments about this watch, he just kept remarking how closely the style and design matches those he remembers.   If you like the above item, you may also like:                Ultra Slim 22 Channel Digital Walkie Talkie Price: $34.95                Infinite Bright Pro with DCS™ Technology Price: $29.95                Cold Cathode Ray Desk Lamp (TL-123 STN) Price: $39.95                Steinhausen Pocket Clip/Watch (Gold) Price: $49.95   « Previous Product(s) | Next Product(s) »
