The Gala Series is reserved for Stuhrling Original’s more feminine side, and it features some of the most artistically decorated women’s watches in our collection. These beautiful timepieces are decorated with stylized patterns, numerals, and dial designs, and the executions gear toward lighter pastel colors, but done so in a way to mix and match with fashion trends. Say hello to the Soiree and Soiree Elite, watches made for social gatherings and dinner parties, late night outings and art shows. From start to finish, these two timepieces were made with style and elegance. The Soiree and Soiree Elite combine exceptional craftsmanship with aesthetic beauty in a seamlessly. Starting with petite 33.5mm case, each blanked from solid bars of 316L surgical grade stainless steel, we decorated the bezel with a sinuous design intermingled and laced with beading genuine diamonds. Move in further and you will find the Filigree Chapter Pavilion with Arabic numerals at 9 and 3 carved out, all set over a genuine mother-of-pear dial colored to match the execution. For an extra touch of elegance, we’ve included skeletonized marquis shaped hour and minute hands with genuine diamonds as hour markers. At 6 o’clock, a printed seconds track for the small seconds sub-dial was added. The Soiree comes with a slightly domed Krysterna crystal and a satin twill covered leather strap, 16mm wide, and also colored to match the execution. The Soiree Elite, however, comes with a beautiful stainless steel bracelet, also colored to match silver, gold and rosegold executions. Truly a beauty in the midst of our collection, this exquisite timepiece offers a unique look and presence not found anywhere else.

The Stuhrling Original Story

With dedication to the heritage of Swiss watchmaking, Stuhrling Original timepieces appeal to the most discriminating taste at reasonable prices. The company has roots dating back to the 1800's when Switzerland emerged as the global leader in watchmaking. Stuhrling Original remains committed to its mission of preserving the high standards set in Switzerland manufacturing all of their fine timepieces in their Swiss-owned factory! Each and every model conveys an inimitable story with extraordinary style. You'll find heirloom selections for both men and women that even the most astute watch collector will cherish and admire.

In the workshops of Stuhrling Original, the unit specializing in mechanical movements, component selection, assembly, lubrication, adjustment and testing creates horological wonders entirely under vigilant attention of Swiss ownership and supervision. It is these workshops that produce the mechanical engines that are famous for meeting the highest existing criteria in there category. Starting with the main plate, the assembly process is performed in several consecutive stages up until anchoring the balance spring, which sets the watch into motion. Assembling a Stuhrling Original mechanical automatic movement comprises no less than 30 checkpoints, spread throughout the assembly process. Adjusting the angle of lift of the pallets, centering the balance-spring, poising the balance are just a few examples of these checkpoints; of which all are designed to enhance the performance of each movement. The movement must meet no less than seven criteria, including a mean variation in rate which is the highest standard in the industry in its class.

Stuhrling Original cases are distinguished by their technical complexity, their high-end aesthetic appeal and the quality of their finish. The watch cases are made from antimagnetic 316L surgical grade stainless steel, an extremely sophisticated alloy designed to stand up to intensive use. The rough parts, known as "middlecases" are blanked from a metal bar using a high-performance press. They then undergo eight successive stamping operations of a strength increasing gradually from 20 to 85 tons. Before each swaging operation, the middlecase is refired at a temperature of 1100 degrees Celsius, so as to temporarily reduce the hardness to a total stamping pressure of more than 400 tons. Finishing the cases then calls for fifteen polishing operations, all performed by hand alternating with nine baths guaranteeing immaculate cleanliness. Other components of the cases, such as rotating bezels or rider tabs also require a meticulous finish. The components of the cases are finally assembled by hand and rigorously tested.

Each Stuhrling Original dial has been designed to enable optimal read-off at a glance, while adding an element of artistic design. Stuhrling Original's dials are blanked from a brass plate and two cylindrical feet are soldered below to ensure security with the movement. Polishing operations, creating special effects through the use of vintage hydraulic German machines, and electroplating are just some of the more than forty operations required to make most StuhrlingOriginal dials. The transparent protective coating is applied in an immaculately clean environment before the various inscriptions are transfer printed using a gelatin pad which takes an impression from an inked block. On many of the dials the hour markers are either individually applied by hand or embossed into the dial and then topped with a special dye. The application of Super Luminova is performed by artisans with a nozzle pen connected to a high-pressure pipe which calls for intense concentration. Once finished, each dial undergoes careful aesthetic scrutiny under extreme magnification, as well as technical testing, to ensure it complies with all predefined dimensions and specifications.

Through meticulous labor, rigorous testing and examination of each timepiece by expert horologists, the vision of the Stuhrling Original timepiece is brought to life inside our workshops, where...

This review is from: Stuhrling Original Women's 504B.121127 Soiree Elite Diamond Black Mother-Of-Pearl Dial Watch (Watch)

I saw this watch and instantly fell in love with it. The pictures online were just so beautiful. Now that I own this watch, I can say that the pictures do not do it justice. The detail is exquisite, and the black Mother of Pearl gives the face a beautiful rainbow iridescence. I needed to get a couple of the links removed for sizing purposes, but that is not uncommon with watches. Also, the clasp took a little getting used to, but it is very secure and I never have to worry about the watch falling off. I hope to love this watch for many years to come!
