Horological Meandering

Good Question

 

They don't make their own movements. They source mainly Selitta and Eta movements, I think going more and more Selitta. One of the watches has a Unitas movement. They do some final finishing and decoration on the movement. They also source their cases and then do the final finishing. Their price point is too low to fund any real in house R&D and manufacturing. My understanding is that they source a lot of the components and do the final finishing and assembly for the most part. Not uncommon for brands that compete at this price point.

It gets a lot of wrist time and I enjoy it a lot despite the size. It's a bit chunky but in Titanium you don't feel the weight as much. I find it extremely comfortable on my wrist...just a great, easy to wear watch. I have a limited edition with a blue di... 

Does Stowa make movements?

I noticed the cases are marked made in Germany, but some of the movements are marked Swiss. Just curious, as I'm not that familiar with Stowa.

Good Question
