* Steffen Cornehl designs and manufactures all of his watches from a small studion in Stuttgart, Germany. He produces around 20-30 watches per year and each one is handmade to the finest detail using traditional techniques and methods. With a passion for antique clocks and vintage watches, Steffen focuses his designs on the classical styles of the 18th Century through to the 20th Century. All watches use a base Unitas 6498 manual wind movement with handmade 3/4 bridge with gold chatons, swan-neck fine adjustment escapement and finished in a beautiful golden frost effect. With stunning dials and handmade hands, each Cornehl watch is a true testament to the beauty of independent watchmaking.

 

* The Classic Silver is based on the traditional German "Deck Watch" of the early 1900s, with bold Arabic numerals, blued hands and frosted silver dial with oversized seconds sub-dial. The 17-jewel mechanical movement; visible through the sapphire glass case-back is housed within a polished, 40mm stainless steel case and comes fitted to a 22mm black leather strap on pin buckle.

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.
