Stuhrling Eclipse Horizon Watch For Men

Stuhrling  Eclipse Horizon Watch For Men

Stuhrling Original was founded by Max Stuhrling IV in 2002 in 

partnership with George J. von Burg. Stuhrling watches are assembled 

by von Burg-owned facilities in Switzerland and Hong Kong. Many of 

the Hong Kong assembled watches use Chinese mechanical movements 

supplied by PTS Resources. Although often promoting their somewhat 

nebulous Swiss heritage (Max Stuhrling's eponymous ancestor was a 

respected 18th century master watchmaker), Stuhrling Original are 

notable for being one of the first international brands to openly 

admit to using Chinese movements in their watches.

The first Chinese-powered Stuhrling watches used movements branded 

'Lexus' to give the impression of exclusivity, although they appear 

to have been stock items probably from Hangzhou Watch Company. The 

quality of these was often poor and harmed the reputation of 

Stuhrling and Chinese watches more generally. Their more recent 

Chinese mechanical watches have been largely free of such quality 

issuesIn the October 2009 edition of Europastar, Yossi Gleiberman, CEO of 

Stuhrling stated"More than 50 per cent of our line is automatic, using movements 

from Seagull and Shanghai."Representatives of Stuhrling, such as Larry Magens, have mentioned 

the 'finishing' of Chinese movements in the Hong Kong facility, 

which implies the assembly and improvement on an ebauche. However

their claim to send 'rejected' movements back to the supplier

subsequent to this finishing process suggests that in this context,

'finishing' amounts to no more than the regulating and checking of 

complete movements.
