Stuhrling Original’s Saturnalia Chairman is a great example of how a boardroom timepiece should be built. The solid stainless steel case features a double coin edge bezel, while the dial is decorated with a hydraulic stamped dimple design. The Roman numeral markers and baton indices are each individually applied, and they are indicated with sword-style hands. The Saturnalia Chairman is powered by a calibre ST-90011 automatic movement, which includes hour, minutes, and small seconds with day of the week indicator and retrograde date arc. This timepiece comes equipped with an alligator embossed genuine leather strap.
Krysterna Crystals
Krysterna is proprietary to Stührling Original and refers to the crystals that are used in its timepieces. Krysterna stems from the eyewear industry and has more strength over a spread surface area than sapphire. Krysterna crystals are more scratch resistant than mineral crystals and more shatter resistant than sapphire crystals.
The Saturnalia Family is part of the Symphony Collection, timepieces designed to enhance your formal attire with their classic designs. These watches all feature a solid stainless steel case with a double milled step design bezel
Summary of Features
• Movement: Manual/Self-Winding Automatic Movement
Automatic watches do not operate on batteries. Automatic watches are made up of about 130 or more parts that work together to tell time. Automatic movements mark the passage of time by a series of gear mechanisms, and are wound by the movement of your wrist as you wear it. The gear train then transmits the power to the escapement, which distributes the impulses, turning the balance wheel. The balance wheel is the time regulating organ of a mechanical watch, which vibrates on a spiral hairspring. Lengthening or shortening the balance spring makes the balance wheel go faster or slower to advance or retard the watch. The travel of the balance wheel from one extreme to the other and back again is called oscillation. Lastly, automatic movements come in different types, including movements that are Swiss-made, Japanese-made, and more.
Also referred to as self-winding, watches with automatic movements utilize kinetic energy, the swinging of your arm, to provide energy to an oscillating rotor to keep the watch ticking. They’re considered more satisfying to watch collectors (horologists) because of the engineering artistry that goes into the hundreds of parts that make up the movement. If you do not wear an automatic watch consistently (for about 8 to 12 hours a day), you can keep the watch powered with a watch winder (a great gift for collectors).
• Complications: Hour, Minute, and Small Seconds, Retrograde Date, and Day of the Week Indicator
• Dial: Dimple Finish Dial

Sleek and simple Automatic watch means it doesn’t need batteries, it doesn’t need solar, it doesn’t need winding, all it needs is movement which will cause a spring to wind via an internal pendulum. The spring has enough energy to last 24 hours easily. If you wear it daily it will be essentially maintenance free. If you let it sit for awhile and the spring fully unwinds, just wear it some more and it will wind up. You have to reset the time if you go for awhile without wearing it.One nice thing, is…
