It’s a new start, a new year. It’s a new day and a new chance

Maybe you have already given up on 50 percent of your new year’s resolutions. Or you did not even have any this year. Don’t worry! You don’t need a new year to start again. Often, it’s not the future we are afraid of. It is repeating the past that makes us anxious.
For all those who love gold more than stainless steel for your favorite watch: For the first time ever, our basic models are available in 750 rose gold dress.

And another novelty that I made for one of my very good clients:
Our first bespoke Guilloche Regulator in a 750 rosé gold case. Thanks to Jochen Benzinger who made this wonderful dial! He is really an artist in his craft!

We are using this new start into the year 2017 for going deeper into the traditional craftsmanship of making watches. After good and challenging moments in 2016, we are now looking forward to what will come in 2017. I will continue doing the things I am good at and continue to improve my watchmaking skills. There are still so many things I want to do for the very first time. For some of them it’s time in 2017.

We wish you all the best for the new year and don’t forget to do something for the very first time!

Yours
Steffen Cornehl

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

My daughter has them several times a day: Moments where she is so awed, surprised and happy that she shouts it out loud because …

"When God created time, he made plenty of it." (Irish/Celtic saying)
Why then does it feel like we never have enough of it - for the things we want to do and for the people we want to spend time with? You can give an easy answer and say: “Time flies!”, and it is true! Tempus fugit!

In a fast-moving world where everything must be quick, efficient and cheap, we are used to doing different things at the same time, communicating with different people on different channels about different topics and trying to focus on several things at once.

We try to be omnipresent in order to not miss out on something. The result is that we lose the ability to focus on one thing for a longer time. But if you want to achieve something significant, exactly this ability is needed.

It’s a new start, a new year. It’s a new day and a new chance.

Maybe you have already given up on half of your New Year's resolutions. Or you did not even have any this year. Don’t worry! You don’t need a new year to start over. Often, it’s not the future we are afraid of. It is the fear of repeating the past that makes us anxious.

Steffen Cornehl repairs and restores antique mechanical watches – he has been crazy about time for more than 20 years now. Big historical watches in museums in St.Petersburg and small distinctive pocket and wrist watches that are very dear to their owners. Crazy about time.
