The Roman Emperor by Stuhrling mimics the case design of a pocket watch and an eye-catching dial design sets this watch apart in every way. This watch will be a guaranteed conversation starter as well as an elegant timepiece.
The Roman Emperor is a classically sized timepiece measuring in at 41mm. This timepiece is the first in Stuhrling Original’s collection to utilize the ST-916SK automatic movement, which utilizes a miniaturized rotor that gives the central dial a floating design. Spoke-style Roman numerals and baton indices hold the movement in place, reminiscent of the Winchester, but the 12 o’clock placement of the crown, along with the crown guard, gives this timepiece a distinct “Emperor” personality. The Roman Emperor is equipped with a 20mm 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 Emperor Family is part of the Special Reserve Collection. These stunning timepieces feature a bow crown located at 12 o’clock and represent some of Stuhrling Original’s most iconic designs.
Summary of Features
• Movement: Automatic
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: Classic Three Hand Movement

and they’ll be good to go This watch is absolutely gorgeous, and I always get compliments on it.Automatic watches stop working once they’ve been sitting for a day or two without being worn – they need movement in order to start working, then you’ll need to set the correct time, and they’ll be good to go.
