Announcing our NEW logo!   Boss man Curtis has been hard at work the last couple weeks designing a logo that would represent our maritime timepieces, and be bold enough to symbolize our aggressive "outside  the box" designs.  Of course we kept the BOLT :)   This logo will now be our official company seal!

Harbormaster Genoa featured in iW Magazine


It was a phone call we didn't expect for five years down the road... A call from a watch magazine publishing Editor -in-Chief wanting to feature our Harbormaster Genoa in their upcoming Nautical issue in September 2011. We were absolutely thrilled!

We have had great review after great review but nothing compares to being featured in one of the largest watch magazines in the world! It is a great feeling to know that our designs have stood out from the crowd and knowing to be selected you have to have the respect of a great designer.

Our very first model made it in our first year. We are looking forward to the future but keeping our minds here in the present designing another delicious collection. :)

STØLÅS begins Donations to North Alabama Storm Victims

STØLÅS Watch Co. is lucky to have escaped the Alabama Tornadoes with minimal damage. However, within only miles in each direction there is catastrophic damage and loss of life. Being rated as one of the worst (second to Katrina) natural disasters in US history and causing more damage than in fact Katrina, we would like to help.

There is damage like this all throughout the northern half of the state from Tuscaloosa and Birmingham through Huntsville and beyond.


STØLÅS will be donating 10% of all sales through the month of May and possibly into June if the need arises.

We are fortunate but there are so many other who are not.

We thank the vast amount of volunteers who have been helping with the cleanup and those who have even come from out-a-state.

STØLÅS Genoa Vs. IWC Aquatimer


After a few posts and reviews in certain media I wanted to straighten some confusion. Many people seem to refer the Harbormaster™ collection to the IWC Aquatimer since both have full lumed bezels.

To note, neither company knew the other was creating a bezel that had the entire warning track of the divers bezel full lumed. Both companies were creating their own design silent from the other in '08-'09. However IWC released their collection first because of their size and the design of their bezel. IWC's lumed bezel consists of a sapphire over the entire track of the bezel including the lumed area.

Our design required some new technology in chemical engineering to create a Lumed Bezel™ that was not protected by a sapphire. This included a multitude of time and effort creating a binder for hardening the luminescent pigments so as to not scratch off or be damaged. The end result allows for a clean simplified look.

Our design is Patent Pending as I believe IWC's is as well.

We actually didn't even know IWC's bezel glowed until last week. We had always assumed it was just colored like all their other divers as well as other brands.

Magazine Ad

The ad was placed in a watch magazine in Singapore by our Dealer/Distributor. This Magazine is read by thousands of tourists visiting the island daily and creates a HUGE market for our collection. The island is also packed full of yachtsmen and fishermen that have shown much enthusiasm with the Harbormaster™

If you haven't yet "test driven" a Harbormaster™ you will surely enjoy the drive, I mean dive...
