The night shift

I was wide awake when I dreamed up the design for the Stauer Minuit. It was the middle of the night at the top of the world. My wife and I were celebrating in a hotel in the Swiss Alps overlooking Lake Lugano. The world was asleep and the stars seemed low enough to touch. I'll never forget the view that night, an endless blue heaven speckled with stars. You don't get to see that kind of sky in the big city.

Inspired by the mystery of late nights, the Stauer Minuit is an exceptional Swiss-made timepiece in a category all its own. It took the designers months to get the look of this timepiece just right. If your favorite color is blue, here's your chance to see it in a whole new way. Inside, the Minuit is driven by a precision Swiss quartz movement and crafted in Switzerland, home to the world's noblest watchmaking traditions.

In honor of that perfect Alpine sky, we added sparkle to the metallic blue face with a trio of Austrian crystal rounds at the twelve, three and nine o'clock positions. Golden Roman numerals pop against the rich black of the outer dial and an easy-to-read date window sits at the six. The Stauer Minuit secures with a genuine black leather strap and gold-finished buckle. Even more impressive than its distinctive design is its non-designer price. And for a Swiss-made timepiece, thank your lucky stars. Fits wrists 6¾" - 8".
