Krysterna

I noticed that the Stuhrling watches have these Krysterna crystals in them. Upon searching, I only see hits for Stuhrling and tried to do a TM search, but it also must be Stuhrling who owns the Trademark. They say the glass is used in eyeglasses, but you can't find evidence of this as they use a trademarked name by themselves, so it must be referred to as something different. If it is used in eyeglasses, what is it called? I'm stumped Is this another Flame fusion BS story? :geek:

Here's a searched thread/post from BDWF in 2008. Sound familiar?

it is the same as flame fusion. A trademarked name.

Forgive my ignorance Alain, but I searched up and down that link and couldn't find the connection.....

I did a google search for the name you supplied and eyeglass lens materials and that came up in one of the pages.

chinese made watches use this stuff.
AKRIBOS XXIV
Crystal: KRYSTERNA CRYSTAL

A patent, trademark and copyright search come up with nothing.

I sincerely doubt that Stuhrling or Invicta would utilize crystals from China.

ok, I can't help but laugh here.... Of course they would and call them Swiss Made to boot

this stie describes the materials used in eyeglasses. No Krysterna listed.

I have just written an email to a friend who is an Eye Doctor in Albany. I asked him about this crystal. We will see when I get his response. I will post it.

Stuhrling are all chinese made according to what I know of them and the guy who fronts them is out front about it.

Albanian in origin. I have this from a very reliable source at geekworld. If they say it there, it must be true.

Stuhrling is pure junk, IMHO. While I applaud the marketeers for being upfront about the origin of the crap they peddle, you couldn't give me one.
Had very, very bad experience with the brand the FIRST time they were on SNBC - and got booted for crap quality. Five watches - count 'em five - arrived DOA with movements that were trashed. Will never buy another.

Who gives a fuck?

The real question is whether or not krysterna is bonded at the molecular level.

Just how many Stuhrlings do you own, anyway?

I pity you for your stupidity at wasting good money on bad product.

I angry at you for supporting Communist junks. And proud of it.

Judging this turd coming here to defend Sturhling UnOriginal, he probably has one too many.

I really like this New & Improved method of GeekSpeek, Tz; the inclusion of dozens of inappropriate commas and exclamation marks is very good indeed.

Yes, English as she is properly spoke.

I uzed to has 1. The crown's at the 3:45 position. My brain hurted lookeding @ it. Crown's are shud b at 3 oclocks or twelf clocks.

My wyfe, yes guy's she's is a real lady, made me bye her one with six values pays. We was shocked when the roto spun off the back. I didn't right a review on SnopZBC or FaceSpace so my warranty not more good. I found a sprocket in the garahge and took it apart. I uzed a screwdrizer to puts screws the rador bahck on.

It make a whizzing noice, but more accurate than my Rolexx.

We did not findz ourselfs with any probablems with the crysteals.

Примерно 4 года назад новое вещество появилось в кристаллах часовой индустрии, названное Krysterna™. Krysterna™ родилась в индустрии производства очков и изготавливается из тех же материалов, что и очковые линзы высшей категории. Stührling Original была одной из немногих фирм из пула часовой индустрии, кто участвовал на ранней стадии в тестировании и развитии нового материала для часовых кристаллов. Krysterna™ действительно имеет большую устойчивость к распределению нагрузки на поверхность, чем сапфир! В результате чего получился материал, более устойчивый к разбиванию, чем сапфир!

Часовой кристалл Krysterna™, применяемое компанией Stührling Original для ВСЕХ своих моделей,совмещает в себе устойчивость к царапинам как у сапфирового стекла и механическую прочность минерального.

Yeah, like we haven't heard this before.

Krysterna actually combines the tendency to shatter of cheap earthenware with the ease of scratching associated with plastic crystals with the repair-ability and transparency of spilled buttermilk.

First pioneered by Jorge V-burgher and Max Stuhrling, its original use and name is derived from the first Guangzhou Krispy Krystal Kreme donut franchise when it was discovered that age-hardened donut glaze worked as well as anything else on a TV watch and could be economically harvested as the by-product of unsold donuts being dropped on a concrete deck.

This breakthrough was quickly followed by the wholly owned "Kitten-in-a-Can" division when it discovered that cheap-ass leather could be die-stamped with an alligator pattern using a 600 ton press. This resulted in a product that both mimicked the look of alligator and was stiffer than Peter North (this latter quality is not included in advertising due to copyright suits brought by some hater in the US Pacific Northwest). Oddly enough Stuhrling actually accurately describes their product as "alligator embossed genuine leather" but the disclosure seems not to trouble their legions of TV fans. The stiffness will wear out in time - approximately the same amount of time required for the alligator embossing to spring back to its original cheap-ass leather appearance resulting in a sort of "living strap" - never quite the same from month to month.

The most notable claim by Stuhrling seems to be that a Chinese factory, using Chinese labor to assemble Chinese parts is somehow more "Swiss" and, by extension, worth more than other Chinese brands because somebody who once had a relative in Switzerland derives income from the enterprise. No evidence is offered for this apart from a hair-gel beta tester saying as much on a TV show noted for prevarication and misrepresentation. The difference between a 150.00 Stuhrling and a similar looking 15.00 thing on Ebay is, at the end of the day, 135.00.

More recently, a new line claiming more "Swissness" has been floated. It is, however, unclear why anyone would buy a Swiss watch with a ten cent crystal and five cent strap. Details have also been sketchy due mostly to functionally illiterate press releases.



...next up:
Tritnite by IWG: from the Aramaic "Trit" meaning Tritium or H3 and the Sumarian "nite" meaning "darker than hell" or simply "not".
Thus: Tritnite = marketer speak for "not tritium" or possibly "dysfunctional lume".

Somebody needs to put together a glossary.

:OOOL:

Accurit ?? How is that pronounced? ACCU-RITE? Is that a new rare Chinese decorated movement? Layered in "platinum" lead based paint.. bonded at the molecular level and flame fused before being calibrated by only the finest watch technicians they employ... 7 year old Ting Soo Tung. A true masterpiece.
