Stuhrling Symphony Minuet 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
issues.
