The Steinhausen StorySwiss inventor and architect Ulrich Van-Heusen was a master craftsman who committed himself to his trade. He lived in an era when only the wealthy could afford a timepiece. But in 1923, Van-Heusen finished his firstborn automatic calendar watch - only one of seven he ever completed. It displayed not only the time, but also the date, day and month; and it was the initial to designate the divergence amid AM and PM. Van-Heusen named his brand Steinhausen after the region in Switzerland from where his family came. He was steadfast in his faith that wristwatches, not the prevalent pocket watch, would in the end become an item humans could not live without. And he was correct! The Great Depression almost eradicated handmade watches of this quality. One that remains today fetched $300,000 at auction. Wristwatches became the must-have item for humans of all social strata, but the discerned gentry continued to buy Steinhausen's handcrafted marvels. Steinhausen proceeds it is reputation of constructing the finest workmanship and classy designs. Like the basi Steinhausen, each watch is painstakingly reproduced by hand from 185 authenti Swiss parts. Then it is so rigorously tested for two weeks that just six percent of movements made end up in a Steinhausen. Swiss automatic motion standards grant for an accuracy of +25/-27 seconds per day. Our Steinhausen watches rate +15/-13 seconds per day, making it more accurate.

Excellent features, good value
By R. Casey
Having never purchased a watch winder and having just remunerated Rolex Service Center in Dallas a bunch of cash for a finish rebuild on my Daytona, I wanted a watch winder.

This Steinhausen, a TM588, had little data available on the web, but I took a gamble. The gamble remunerated off.

There are 3 switches on the back which contol 4 modes. The little instruction book is clear and the winding modes cover 1. light weight, 2. medium weight, 3. Steinhausen brand automatics (or others calling for a reversing of movement), and 4. heavier watches (also with reversing action). Mode setting is very simple!

As to esthetics, the winder is accurately discribed in the sales lit on the web. It is utterly silent when running, and the leather covered pillow which holds the watch is well made and has metal or plastic springs on the inside to securely hold the watch, not a simple foam rubber cushion.

The pillow will handle a assortment of wrist sizes, and is held securely inside the winder.

Highly recommended!!

Heavy
By John B. Goode
The primary thing I'd say when it comes to this watch winder is that it's solid. It's made of wood and big, and solid.

I thought $90 was rather a lot to pay for a watch winder, but after I got this I found out that "expensive" watch winders run $300 and more. Call me cheap, but for $300, I'd just rather tape my watch to my leg and have that wind the watch while I'm in the house. $100 is the most I'd pay, so right off the bat, I'd say this is an economical solution for keeping your watch wound.

However, having owned another watch winder that croaked within a year, I reserve my full sentiment until I've had this for 12 months, then I'd be capable to tell you if it's worth the cash or not.

The other review said it was noisy. I'd say it's not excessively so. The thing is, it only runs 33 seconds out of 12-18 minutes, so it's not a huge deal. Besides, the heavy wood construction of this winder absorbs most of the noise. Why are you putting this next to your bed anyway? Put it in your closet or the bathroom where mine is and you ought to sleep OK.

So far, I commend this for the price and because it seems solid. Certainly the winder is more programmable than the other cheap one I have.
