The Rosetta is a beautiful lady’s watch in Stuhrling Original’s Gala Collection. Within the petite solid stainless steel case is the calibre ST-90089 automatic movement, whose engraved scrollwork is revealed in the skeletonized genuine mother-of-pearl dial. The markers and Arabic numerals are part of a separately applied faceplate. The Rosetta is finished off with an alligator embossed genuine leather strap, making it a wonderful and stylish accessory for the boardroom and everyday wear.
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 Audrey Family belongs to the Vogue Collection, which includes beautiful women’s watches with a style that can only be achieved by an artistic mind. These beautiful women’s timepieces make exquisite use of skeletonized dials inlaid with mother-of-pearl.
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).

Big, bold, and unusual! What I’ve been looking for! I tried several watches, only to send them back because they were too ordinary or too large and ungainly. While this watch is large as well, it should fit the average woman’s wrist. If you do not wear the watch daily, however, be prepared to wind it. If you can’t be bothered, get one with a battery. I’m happy to not have to replace a battery. The watch arrived in perfect condition, but I can’t yet speak to its durability. Thus, four stars for the time being…
Stunning, quality watch! 0
