Stauer Watches Review: A Brand Created For Performance And Precision
There are certain universal truths — let’s call them commandments — that quality timepieces must adhere to…
Thou shalt be Swiss-made
Thou shalt cost an arm and a leg
Thou shalt have a high barrier to entry
Sometimes, sure. There’s nothing wrong with a well-deserved splurge from time to time.
But that’s not what we’re here to talk about today. Today, we’re here to unpack an entry-level line of watches cleverly disguised as luxury timepieces. Enter: Stauer watches.
The brand was founded in 2001 by Michael Bisceglia, who decided he was tired of overpaying for his wife’s jewelry and took matters into his own hands. By creating luxury products without the luxury price tag. The brand has since garnered a wide fan base of discerning consumers who prefer their quality engineering and elevated designs without the bloated prices.
Stauer Watches Overview
Though Stauer watches run the gamut in terms of style, functionality, and general vibe, certain elements are applicable to most models.
Design
It’s clear that a great deal of thought goes into the design of each Stauer watch. There’s a time and place for each one, and no aesthetic effort was spared making sure that what’s on your wrist matches the activity or occasion.
Watch Construction
Stauer’s price point has the potential to back it into a tricky corner when it comes to materials and general durability. But by eliminating wholesalers and not shelling out for flashy marketing campaigns, for instance, the company is able to parlay those savings into some unexpectedly quality materials.
Movements
Precise, accurate, and varied. While many Stauer models use quartz or automatic movements, you’ll also find manual pieces and even a smartwatch in their range.
Price
Let’s keep the affordability throughline going, shall we? One of the main draws of Stauer’s formidable line is how affordable the watches are. Its designs, movements, and construction are respected in the industry and among watch aficionados — thankfully, respect and a luxury price tag aren’t synonymous here.
