Product Description:

Dunn Horitzon is German for "Thin Horizon." "Rasierer" refers to being razor-thin. At less than two millimeters thick, you can't buy a slimmer model that includes a two-digit calendar and DOES NOT increase thickness. The Steinhausen engineers set out to make the most beautiful, light and the thin watch. After five grueling years of constant research, development and testing, they introduced the Dunn Horitzon Rasierer, and it immediately brought raves from everywhere in the watchmaking world. The Europeans lauded it for its sophistication and aesthetic look and design -- it was one of the top attractions at the Basel Convention for watches and clocks in Switzerland (the most important annual clock and watch show worldwide for the past 34 years). Italian art schools are using the Dunn Horitzon Rasierer as an example of the perfect design model. The Japanese heaped praise for its quality and sophisticated design. And the American consumer paid the ultimate compliment by buying it - the Dunn Horitzon Rasierer is one of our top-selling timepieces.

The Dunn Horitzon Rasierer is made from stainless steel but has been designed with a special German-engineered space-age alloy that removes almost all the weight, making it so thin that you won't even notice it's strapped to your wrist. And if you have sensitive skin, don't worry. Our gold watch is plated with 24 karats and five-micron thickness that will never lose its shine or fade away. It's guaranteed for life. But thinness and accuracy are not mutually exclusive. You'll be wearing one of the most accurate watches ever made.

One of Steinhausen's greatest engineering feats is the precision time of this watch. Its Swiss quartz movement is superbly accurate and reliable. The Dunn Horitzon Rasierer is a combination of traditional first-rate quality, refined taste, and high stature that has come to be expected of Steinhausen timepieces. Buy this watch and we'll guarantee you'll look like a dapper gentleman and receive constant compliments. This marvel has been engraved with a sapphire stone on its crown, and its face is made of scratch-resistant sapphire glass. The Dunn Horitzon Rasierer comes packaged in a velvet box, along with a Steinhausen certification card and two pairs of bands (brown and black), both of which are genuine Italian leather.

Your appreciation of the Dunn Horitzon Rasierer is certain to increase over time. Until now, most of us couldn't afford a timepiece of such masterful style and quality. Steinhausens are considered must-have works of art among Japanese and European collectors. Steinhausens are only found in the finest retailers and through Steinhausenonline.com. Be the first to wear this remarkable new addition to the world-famous Steinhausen line.

Steinhausen: A Brand You Trust

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).

Christopher C. from New York, NY

I am very pleased. It is thin and light. Several people have mistaken it for a very expensive watch (due to its thinness).
