STERNGLAS is celebrating 8 amazing years! That’s 4,204,800 minutes, or 252,288,000 seconds, filled with passion, doubt, creativity, and courage.
It all started in 2016 when our founder, Dustin Fontaine, launched a crowdfunding campaign with a clear goal: to create high-quality watches in a minimalist Bauhaus design at a fair price.
We believe in crafting timepieces that transcend trends, tell stories, and enhance everyday life. Because our watches belong on your wrist and not in a safe.
Eight years later, our mission remains unchanged. The number 8 is symbolic for us; it represents infinity, stability, and timelessness. Just like the number 8 has no beginning or end, our journey is far from over.
It’s only just begun!
3 pillars of our inspiration and motivation
Our inspiration comes from three major sources that have shaped our journey over the years and form our foundation:
- The Bauhaus style
Clear lines, simple elegance, and functionality – Bauhaus design is at the heart of our watches and remains our guiding principle.
- Our hometown Hamburg
With its maritime flair, bustling harbor, and the constant ebb and flow, Hamburg embodies both stability and change. As a true Hamburg company, we embrace these values, merging tradition with modernity.
- Our Community
You are the heartbeat of STERNGLAS. Your support, feedback, and enthusiasm have been instrumental in our journey. Every idea, every impulse from you drives us forward, and we’re endlessly grateful for that.
To properly celebrate our 8th anniversary with you, we present the STERNGLAS Merion – a timepiece that perfectly combines these three pillars: Timeless Design, a tribute to the sea and inspired by the wishes of our community.
Thank you from the entire team! Here’s to the next 8 years – and a journey together that never ends.
