DescriptionWith dedication to the heritage of Swiss watchmaking, Stuhrling Original timepieces appeal to the most discriminating taste at reasonable prices. The company has roots dating back to the 1800's when Switzerland emerged as the global leader in watchmaking. Stuhrling Original remains committed to its mission of preserving the high standards set in Switzerland manufacturing all of their fine timepieces in their Swiss-owned factory! Each and every model conveys an inimitable story with extraordinary style. You'll find heirloom selections for both men and women that even the most astute watch collector will cherish and admire. Each Stuhrling Original dial has been designed to enable optimal read-off at a glance, while adding an element of artistic design, and the Stuhrling Original cases are distinguished by their technical complexity, their high-end aesthetic appeal and the quality of their finish. The watch cases are made from antimagnetic 316L surgical grade stainless steel, an extremely sophisticated alloy designed to stand up to intensive use. Editorial Review The Everest Tourbillon is a fascinating addition to Stuhrling Original’s collection of old world classics. This timepiece boasts a unique case with a slight tapering at 6 o’clock for an eye-catching look and style. The rotating cage of the genuine tourbillon movement is customized specially for Stuhrling, which is recognizable through the triple “S.” The Everest Tourbillon has a beautifully decorated dial; the dimple pattern is achieved using our vintage German hydraulic machines. This timepiece comes equipped with a genuine crocodile strap – a perfect accessory to a beautiful work of art. Krysterna Crystals Krysterna is proprietary to Stührling Original and refers to the crystals that are used in its timepieces. Krysterna stems from the eyewear industry and has more strength over a spread surface area than sapphire. Krysterna crystals are more scratch resistant than mineral crystals and more shatter resistant than sapphire crystals.
The Tourbillon Family is part of the Tourbillon Collection, which includes some of Stuhrling Original's most incredible horologic creations. These incredible timepieces feature elegant and creative case designs with fascinating dial configurations Summary of Features • Movement: Manual Mechanical Tourbillon Movement The hand-wound mechanical movement is perhaps the most classical of movements. It operates exclusively by the daily (or sometimes more often) winding of the crown to power the mainspring (the “heart” of the movement). Unlike its automatic mechanical counterpart, this type of movement does not feature a rotor. The energy source is the mainspring (a spring coiled into a tight spiral) which is wound manually by the wearer twisting the crown, usually in a clockwise direction. As time progresses, the spring begins to uncoil, releasing the energy needed to activate the various wheels and make the movement tick. Without routine winding of the crown, the hand-wound mechanical movement will eventually lose power. Thus, mechanical hand-wound movements usually require daily winding. A hand-wound movement requires greater care than almost all other types of movements because once the mainspring is fully wound, additional tension may cause it to break. • Complications: Classic Two-Hand Movement with Open Heart Tourbillon Complication Diagrams of Features
