The Brumalia is the Roman feast commemorating the temple of Saturn and was celebrated during the space of thirty days, commencing on November 24th. A Brumalian festival included drinking, merriment, and prophetic indications were taken of the prospects for the remaining part of the winter… Stührling Original proudly presents from the ever-fashionable Labyrinthian Series, and following in the footsteps of the Saturnalia, one of the most celebrated watch-models in Stührling’s history, the Brumalia, a skeletonized pure mechanical timepiece! Marked by its spectacular 45-milllimeter round case with its intricate double-milled bezel, the Brumalia offers a veritable feast of clairvoyance into the art and tradition of horological wonders. Peering through the slightly domed looking glass made of Krysterna™, you will be astonished by the inner-workings of the colossal 17-jewel “pure” mechanical engine revealed by the skeletonized dial. With its extra large main-spring clearly visible at the five o’clock position and the oversized balance wheel beating in all its glory at the rate of 18,000 vibrations per hour for all to see, the mesmerizing aura of Brumalia is accentuated by hand-engraved scroll-work on what little remains of the engine plates. Strengthening its persona is the striking bridge on the left side of its face arching across the small-seconds sub-dial. And rounding out the facial look of Brumalia are the individually applied Arabic numeral hour-markers and the sharply skeletonized Dauphine style hands. The dessert for this feast is the perfectly appointed onion-style crown flanked by box-like guard rails makes for the ideal companion to this masterpiece case! The exquisite look of the skeletonized and decorated movement in concert with the refined double milled step-design bezel makes the Brumalia a dressy and elegant timepiece fit for any formal gathering. In addition to its striking presence, the Brumalia represents an anomaly for Stührling Original in that it hosts a “pure mechanical” movement (caliber ST-90911)! There is no rotor attached to the movement providing “self-winding.” The Brumalia epitomizes watch-making the old-fashioned way…you must manually wind the crown to keep it running; but have no fear, the spectacular 17-jewel mechanical engine that powers this festival on your wrist can hold more than thirty hours of power reserve on its large mainspring. Once you’ve completely taken in the look of Brumalia from the front and have been sufficiently impressed, just flip it over and take a look from the back! Talk about mesmerizing, the view through the Krysterna™ crystal in the screwed in exhibition case-back is truly breath-taking. The real star of the Brumalia, the large oversized mechanical movement is laced with hand-engraved scrollwork and dotted by blued steel screws and ruby jewels. Water-resistant to fifty meters, the Brumalia is mounted on a 24-millimeter wide alligator embossed genuine French leather strap appointed with a push-button dual deployant clasp. The next time you are invited to any social gathering be it a wedding, dinner party, birthday event, or even just out to dinner with friends… be sure to take your own festival, the Brumalia from Stührling Original!

The Stuhrling Original Story

With 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.

In the workshops of Stuhrling Original, the unit specializing in mechanical movements, component selection, assembly, lubrication, adjustment and testing creates horological wonders entirely under vigilant attention of Swiss ownership and supervision. It is these workshops that produce the mechanical engines that are famous for meeting the highest existing criteria in there category. Starting with the main plate, the assembly process is performed in several consecutive stages up until anchoring the balance spring, which sets the watch into motion. Assembling a Stuhrling Original mechanical automatic movement comprises no less than 30 checkpoints, spread throughout the assembly process. Adjusting the angle of lift of the pallets, centering the balance-spring, poising the balance are just a few examples of these checkpoints; of which all are designed to enhance the performance of each movement. The movement must meet no less than seven criteria, including a mean variation in rate which is the highest standard in the industry in its class.

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. The rough parts, known as "middlecases" are blanked from a metal bar using a high-performance press. They then undergo eight successive stamping operations of a strength increasing gradually from 20 to 85 tons. Before each swaging operation, the middlecase is refired at a temperature of 1100 degrees Celsius, so as to temporarily reduce the hardness to a total stamping pressure of more than 400 tons. Finishing the cases then calls for fifteen polishing operations, all performed by hand alternating with nine baths guaranteeing immaculate cleanliness. Other components of the cases, such as rotating bezels or rider tabs also require a meticulous finish. The components of the cases are finally assembled by hand and rigorously tested.

Each Stuhrling Original dial has been designed to enable optimal read-off at a glance, while adding an element of artistic design. Stuhrling Original's dials are blanked from a brass plate and two cylindrical feet are soldered below to ensure security with the movement. Polishing operations, creating special effects through the use of vintage hydraulic German machines, and electroplating are just some of the more than forty operations required to make most StuhrlingOriginal dials. The transparent protective coating is applied in an immaculately clean environment before the various inscriptions are transfer printed using a gelatin pad which takes an impression from an inked block. On many of the dials the hour markers are either individually applied by hand or embossed into the dial and then topped with a special dye. The application of Super Luminova is performed by artisans with a nozzle pen connected to a high-pressure pipe which calls for intense concentration. Once finished, each dial undergoes careful aesthetic scrutiny under extreme magnification, as well as technical testing, to ensure it complies with all predefined dimensions and specifications.

Through meticulous labor, rigorous testing and examination of each timepiece by expert horologists, the vision of the Stuhrling Original timepiece is brought to life inside our workshops, where...
