Time. That’s what Steffen Cornehl’s watches are all about. Right here in his Stuttgart studio Cornehl crafts unique mechanical watches. Each piece is a testament to his passion. His journey began not in Switzerland but in a family of bakers. School bored him. He found his true calling later.
He learned watchmaking in Hamburg. He also worked in after-sales service. He serviced luxury watches from Rolex to Blancpain. This experience shaped his approach to watchmaking. He discovered the beauty of traditional techniques.
His fascination with antique clocks deepened. He spent over 20 years restoring them. He learned from master watchmakers. He mastered intricate skills. He learned to turn a balance staff. He learned to make verge escapements. He even learned to make clock wheels and pinions.
This experience informs Cornehl’s own designs. His watches are inspired by historical pieces. He uses a reliable Unitas 6498 movement. He spends 35-40 hours customizing each movement. He even makes the hands himself.
Why do people buy Cornehl watches? They appreciate the craftsmanship. They seek unique timepieces. They value the personal touch. Cornehl’s watches are handmade in small batches. Each watch is one of a kind. He produces only 20-30 pieces per year. He is currently developing a new in-house movement. It will be simple yet challenging to create. He aims for perfection. He believes the journey is as important as the destination.
