Jony Ive said “ Manufactured objects testify to who made them. They describe values.” When I look closely at my new Sternglas Hamburg Automatic, it becomes instantly clear that Dustin Fontaine and his team care deeply for what they do. This watch is beautifully designed and expertly finished. In my opinion it compares with watches at much higher price points and is a remarkable value. To use the famous words of another world class designer Dieter Rams “Weniger, aber besser” or “Less but better”. I think the Sternglas Hamburg embodies this concept. Their customer service is excellent. I have a large wrist and was in need of a longer band. I sent an email thru their site and within hours I received a polite response with links to available options. They had the band I selected shipped to me the very next day with tracking information. I would recommend Sternglas to anyone looking for a beautiful timepiece.
