STERNGLAS MEN'S WATCHES

The Hamburg brand Sternglas has built its reputation on creating watches with striking designs. The Bauhaus movement is fundamentally the inspiration for their designs, which swept through the European modern art scene between the 1920s and 1930s. This movement's influences are quite clearly manifested in the minimalism and functionalist appearance of individual models. Above all, Sternglas honours Bauhaus design elements through geometric shapes, colour aesthetics and materials, with the dominance being stainless-steel and genuine leather. Currently, the brand's 25-member team, founded and led by Dustin Fontaine regularly come up with new collections and updates for existing ones. It isn't simply about cosmetic modifications. In addition to their elegant suit models, Sternglas also produce the Marus diver's watch, and with its 200M/20ATM water resistance, screw-down crown and Nemoto Luminova illumination, shows that design as understood by the Bauhaus movement shouldn't suppress functionality, but shows that these two worlds should coexist in perfect harmony. symbiosis. Of course, the majority of the Sternglas brand's production is made up of watches intended for urban environments. In terms of appearance, the element connecting most model lines is the domed sapphire crystal, framed with a subtle ring, which allows the dial's delicacy and decency to stand out. This is particularly this case with regard to the most popular and the most numerous Naos series. In this series, Sternglas perhaps best demonstrate their relationship to the Bauhaus school and its heritage. The technological background of Sternglas watches is completely under the direction of the Japanese calibres Miyota and the Swiss company Ronda. Automatic models are powered by Miyota 9015, 8215 or 821A movements with the very useful option of hacking (stopping) the second hand. Among others things, quartz watchesrely on the quality of the Miyota 0S20, 0S21, Ronda 714 or Ronda 6004.B calibres, which are a prerequisite for reliable operation. An interesting feature in relation to a Sternglas watch is the quick strap replacement system, this is present without exception on all models and is a feature that will particularly please people with a penchant for matching accessories to the rest of their outfit.
