Review & Description
Have you heard the news? There’s a whole new generation of twenty-something’s who the have advantages that their "Baby Boomer" parents were able to provide, plus all the technological advances of the past decade. With the free flow and the wealth of information available in a matter of seconds via the Internet, these new "Millennials" are already being hailed as the ""next great generation."" In recognition of this new generation, Stührling Original presents its newest innovation in watchmaking … the Millennia. What makes the Millennia so tantalizing is its astonishing case. Cut from solid 316L surgical grade stainless steel, the graceful tonneau-shaped case presents a satin finish on its arched topside forming a handsome frame for the custom-cut curved Krysterna™ crystal. The main attraction of the case however are the high-polished sides which (make a striking contrast to the satin topside and) feature a triple row of grooves that have been milled directly into the steel! On its face, the Millennia delivers a look for the ages. Through the split-level, two-piece skeletonized dial, beating (at 21,600 vibrations per hour) in all its glory is a magnificent 20-jewel mechanical self-winding movement. The classic three-hand movement has been blatantly skeletonized and with its sexy, hand-engraved scroll-work on black IP (ionic plated) pillar plates, the new Millennia from Stührling Original is truly bewitching. Fostering the mesmerizing look of the Millennia, are diamond-cut, skeletonized, and luminous-tipped hour and minute hands (with a razor-thin second-hand) so as to not obscure the charm of the oscillating balance wheel and rhythmical beat of the pallet fork as it releases power to the drive train. Enriching its expression, are faceted and polished baton indices which glisten with each and every move as light refracts just enough to catch the envy of any onlookers. The final appointment, looking like a double-layer cake, is the double-barreled, knurled-edge crown with a black rubber ring around its middle! The Millennia features details in the details as even the case has been notched just below the crown to make it a little easier to handle. On its backside, the splendor of the Millennia is in full force. Through the screw-down, stainless steel, exhibition case-back the allure continues with a black IP skeletonized and hand-engraved custom rotor. The skeletonized movement is accented by blued steel screws and can be easily viewed through the Krysterna™ crystal. The Millennia is appropriately mounted on a 22-millimeter wide silky rubber strap for a touch of modern sophistication. Complementing the grooves in the side of the case, the strap sports a handsome grooved rib design and is completed with a stainless steel push-button deployant clasp with the Stührling signature logo emblazoned on the safety lock. In a world that is rapidly changing, the Millennia makes for an unconventional timepiece that fuses classic and modern ideas with aesthetic appeal for the ages! Read more
