Product Description
IIt's not enough to just have a watch case for our finest jewelry. Today's most extravagant timepieces come equipped with automatic movement. That means they never need batteries and never need to be wound by hand. They're powered by the kinetic movement of your body when you wear them. But what if you have different watches for different occasions? Chances are some will stop from extended periods of non-use. Our specially designed automatic winding case will keep your favorite watches wound and ready for when you need them. A silent motor keeps the watches moving on dual turntables. The case is handcrafted of lacquered hardwood veneer. Eight layers of high-gloss lacquer are applied, with each layer of lacquer allowed to cure for three days before being sanded and polished by hand. The entire process requires nearly 30 days, creating a high-gloss piano finish. The interior is lined with smooth cream faux calf-hide. A bottom drawer adorned with a polished brass knob pulls out to reveal more compartments for watches, cufflinks and rings. Choose from four models: Cherrywood with dual watch winders; Cherrywood with dual watch winders with direction reversing capability and intermittent timer; Black lacquer with dual watch winders able to hold four watches with direction reversing capability and intermittent timer; and cherrywood quad with dual watch winders. Simply stated, these are the watch cases no discerning timepiece collector should be without.

Brands You Trust: Steinhausen
In Steinhausen, Switzerland, during the early 1900s, Ulrich Van-Heusen was a highly-touted watchmaker, inventor and architect laboring day after day, attempting to build the world’s first automatic calendar watch. He lived in an era in which only wealthy individuals could afford a timepiece. And they were custom-made solely for influential people who asked for one.
In 1923, Ulrich Van-Heusen had completed his first automatic calendar watch. The repercussions of this engineering feat had yet to be felt by humanity.
In 1928, after building a few of these ground-breaking timepieces for select individuals, Van-Heusen began a family watch business along with his two sons, building a variety of watches that would astonish the world, including ones with calendar displays, chronographs (i.e. precise timekeeping devices), skin-line type watches and skeleton (transparent face) watches.
Ulrich Van-Heusen named his particular brand of watch Steinhausen, after Ulrich Van-Heusen’s father’s ancestral name. It served as a reminder of his noble heritage. And soon would be associated with the most celebrated watches on earth. Van-Heusen would eventually sell Steinhausen watches to kings, army generals, czars, princes and emperors from Monte Carlo to Russia.
In an era in which pocket watches were prevalent, Ulrich Van-Heusen remained steadfast in his belief that wristwatches would eventually be a personal element people wouldn’t be able to live without. History proves he was right. Wristwatches eventually became the norm for men of every social stratum.
Van-Heusen passed on his expertise, knack for precision, watch-making experience, workmanship habits and attention to quality to his two sons. They soon began selling distinguished watches to famous retailers and jewelry boutiques around the world.
In 1938, two decades after World War I, Ulrich Van-Heusen’s son, Klaus Van-Heusen, had assumed the role of proprietor of Steinhausen. He continued the tradition of building newly designed watches that would appease the most demanding consumer. And he would invent new watch technologies such as day-of-week display and scratch-resistant sapphire crystal face.
In 1961, Erica Van-Heusen, granddaughter of Ulrich, at the age of 27, became the next proprietor of Steinhausen. Sales skyrocketed because of her keen business acumen. Erica Van-Heusen started assembly factories in Asian countries such as Japan and South Korea. To find rubies and sapphire crystals for Steinhausen products, she established mines in South Africa and India. Van-Heusen also developed more manufacturing sites in Switzerland, Germany and the Czech Republic. Steinhausen Across the World
In the present day, Steinhausen continues to market its prestigious line of watches on four separate continents (Europe, the United States, Japan and China).
