What is Krysterna?

When it comes to protecting timepieces from damage, it takes materials that are both lightweight and durable. After all, movements, especially mechanical and automatic ones, are highly sensitive. In addition to stainless steel cases, Stührling Original watches are protected by Krysterna crystals. Many people have wondered and asked about the material, and while it’s explained in Stührling’s FAQ, it’s important to share the information here on the blog as well.

Krysterna is a material that is unique to Stührling timepieces. It was developed in conjunction with the eyewear industry to achieve clarity and durability. In fact, Krysterna crystals are more shatter-resistant that sapphire crystals, making them less susceptible to breaks and cracks from impact!  Like our ShopNBC representative Justin Zimmer says, “if it’s good enough to protect my eyes, it’s good enough to protect my watch”. We are confident in Krysterna’s ability to keep your timepieces safe.
