Sternglas was founded by Dustin Fontaine in Hamburg in 2016. Fontaine worked in a small watch manufactory in his student years and this experience sparked his passion for watchmaking. The brand focuses on minimalism and quality and aims to make good design accessible to everyone.
The ‘glas’ element of the brand’s name refers to the sapphire glass lens that is built into every watch that the brand creates. Fontaine chose this name for his brand to honour the strong history of German watchmaking. Despite being a relatively new name in the watch industry, Sternglas is a very well-respected brand that creates high-quality timepieces.
Core Features of the Sternglas Berlin Collection: Each model pays tribute to the former Berlin train station in Hamburg through a fine engraving on the case back. Berlin watches feature a domed sapphire crystal to protect the dial. This has a double anti-reflective coating.
All watches in the Berlin collection have a date and weekday aperture at the 3 o’clock positioning. Each Berlin watch has a quick-change strap system that allows the wearer to give their timepiece a new look whenever they please, with no tools required. These watches are water-resistant up to 50 metres or 5 bars.
