Steffen Cornehl works out of a small studio in Stuttgart, Germany, where he restores antique clocks and vintage watches, while slowly building a following of dedicated enthusiasts for his own watches – Cornehl.
 
Steffen’s watches are based on a pocket watch movement from the 1970s: the Unitas 6498. This movement is very reliable, and its design is very robust. On average, spending around 35-40 hours on each movement, including making the hands, producing a handmade ¾ bridge with gold chatons and swan-neck fine adjustment escapement.
 
Steffen carries out most of the work himself and is currently producing around 20-30 pieces a year.
 
With stunningly simple yet beautiful designs, Cornehl watches perfectly encapsulate what is so special about independent watchmaking today: handmade, personal and unique.
