Consciousness and Responsibility
At STERNGLAS, we keep the future of our planet firmly in sight and take responsibility for our society and the environment. Since our founding, we have continuously worked to become more sustainable every day. We focus on durable products and foster long-term partnerships to shape a more sustainable future together.
Sustainable Product Quality
From the design and technical development to the production of our timepieces, we place the highest value on aesthetics, technical sophistication, and product quality.
We work exclusively with renowned manufacturers who have years of industry expertise, using carefully selected components.
The timeless Bauhaus design of the 1920s also ensures that your watch will never go out of style.
In this way, we create timepieces that not only exceed the standards of our price range but also bring you long-lasting enjoyment.
A Watch for Every Day
You'll enjoy your timepiece every day because it's a durable, high-quality product.
- Premium 316L stainless steel
- Reliable, branded movements
- Scratch-resistant sapphire crystal
- Straps made from leather sourced from German and Italian farms
- Support for small leather workshops in the Bavarian Forest in Germany
Langlebige Qualitätsuhrwerke
The longevity of our timepieces is guaranteed by the heart of every watch: the movement. Our quartz and automatic models feature high-quality movements from Switzerland and Japan.
To meet our high standards, we rely on true craftsmanship, premium materials, and a quality management system certified by TÜV Süd.
We also offer a repair service! Our watch workshop in Germany stocks over 70,000 individual parts, from crowns to hands and case screws. If a repair is ever needed, experienced watchmakers are ready to expertly service your timepiece—even 10 years from now.
Long-Term Partnerships
From day one, we’ve cultivated transparent and collaborative relationships that allow us to grow and evolve together. We maintain constant communication and regularly meet our partners in person on-site.
Our assembly facility is certified under the globally recognized social certification system, SA8000. This standard is based on internationally accepted principles, including:
- Minimum health and safety standards
- No discrimination
- Limits on working hours
Carbon-Neutral Shipping
We ship our products sustainably through DHL GoGreen, meaning the CO2 emissions associated with shipping are 100% offset.
We are continuously working to reduce our ecological footprint. For example, we have developed custom trays made from biodegradable sugarcane waste for the transport and storage of our watches, helping us eliminate harmful styrofoam. Additionally, our product packaging is now plastic-free! Only the protective films on the watch glass and the crown locks are still made from plastic.
For packaging filler, we use only FSC-certified paper chips made from 100% recycled paper. Even our packaging tape has been paper-based for years, replacing environmentally harmful PVC tape!
Bicycle Over Car
Our entire team gladly opts out of using cars. Whenever possible, we use bicycles or public transportation to commute to the office or attend appointments.
Recycling, saving energy, and working in a resource-efficient way are very important to us. Since our founding, we’ve been well-equipped digitally, allowing us to easily avoid using paper and printers!
Wir unterstützen Umweltprojekte
... right in our own backyard!
Küste gegen Plastik is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting nature conservation, coastal protection, and flood prevention. Since 2020, we’ve developed three limited-edition timepieces, and through the sales of these special editions, we’ve raised over €25,000 in donations! Wow!
All of the funds raised go directly toward environmental protection efforts.
