While those tourbillons swiftly sold out, Chaim’s commitment to authenticity with an attitude bordering on audacity didn’t. That’s why a full range of complications—including open-heart/skeletons, chronographs, dive watches, dress watches and dual-time/travel watches—quickly followed Stührling’s tourbillon debut. Could Chaim have “sold out” and used beautiful people and places to sell his watches, instead of beautifully crafted dials, movements, and cases? Oh yeah—and he would’ve sold way more watches (and in the process, his soul and vision). Luckily he didn’t, and to this day Stührling continues to be the standard for seriously crafted timepieces at seriously grounded prices.
