A sunny afternoon in Hamburg. The Alster sparkles in the light, white sailboats glide gently across the water, seagulls circle in the sky. Along the shoreline, a vintage car cruises by – a scene straight out of an old movie, now immortalized on the case back of the Hamburg Chrono Edition Vintage.
The Hamburg Chrono Edition Vintage brings the elegance and optimism of the 1920s back to your wrist. Inspired by a time when technology, design, and vibrancy merged into a new symbiosis – and Hamburg began to evolve into the cosmopolitan city it is today.
We only use sapphire crystal for our timepieces. This type of watch glass is usually found in the luxury watch market.
For a perfect view of the dial, we apply a double anti-reflective coating to the sapphire crystal.
The polished stainless steel case in a warm gold tone measures 42 mm and rests comfortably on the wrist. The dark green dial with gold and orange hands, accented with Luminova, reflects the color palette of the 1920s – elegant, bold, and unique. A dark brown strap made of high-quality cowhide leather completes the vintage look.
The flowing lines of the case, the subtly domed dial with satin-brushed texture, and the finely tuned color palette are reminiscent of the elegant interiors of classic cars. It combines the timeless design language of the era with the precision of a modern timekeeper.
In Hamburg, various regattas hold tradition. What makes this sport unique: the race begins even before the starting gun. Because here, it's decided who sails into pole position.
Nevertheless, sailboats are in constant motion, propelled by the wind, as crews remain on standby for minutes until the race officially commences. Timing is critical. Hence, the watch becomes the sailor's best companion.
The Hamburg Chrono aims to be your motivator, urging you to give your all. It's the witness to your achievements as you strive for personal bests. For in life, as in sailing, every second counts.
We've captured this spirit on the reverse side: with a detailed engraving depicting two sailboats racing on the Outer Alster lake. A spectacle we witness firsthand year after year.
They go by various names – Yachttimer, Regatta-Timer, Yacht-Chronographs, or Sailing Watches – and they inspired our new STERNGLAS Hamburg Chrono. But why are they so vital?
A brief primer on sailing watches: A Regatta-Timer is a timepiece equipped with a countdown function, specifically designed for regattas. Once set, it displays the remaining time until the race begins.
Yet, a chronograph serves purposes beyond this, aiding in tactical maneuvers, decision-making, or timing between waypoints.
It's a motivator, a witness to success, and a crucial instrument in watersports.
