Stauer in collaboration with GovMint and The New York Mint has designed and created an exclusive and quirky line of timepieces that feature genuine coins as faces. The design seemed inevitable since these organizations are two of the most respected collectible coin companies in the world.
Every piece in the collection is unique and features coins that were once used as currency. Each piece bears the marks of a coin that witnessed history of life in Ancient Rome, America during the revolution or downtown Chicago.
"We love stories at Stauer and every one of these watches has a story," noted Stauer's President Michael Bisceglia. "These very coins were once used as legal tender. It's fascinating to think about where these coins have been and who has used them. We use coins that may have been handled by Roman gladiators and we have silver dollars from the days of General George Washington."
The timepieces may feature relics from the ancient past but are fully functioning and utilize the most modern and precise quartz movements on the market. These watches are dependent on the supply of rare coins obtained by Stauer's partners.
The coins are difficult to find, but that rarity and limited production is exactly what attracts collectors. It also adds a level of exclusivity to every coin watch that cannot be found in every timepiece in the market.
Not just rare, these timepieces are also very chic and sophisticated. With a coin as the dial it comes with a tasteful wrist band of equal quality and class. The watches satisfy the needs of not just a coin collector but anyone who has a liking and admiration towards rare pieces that symbolize a past era.
Among Stauer's most popular coin watches are the Stauer Executive Half-Dollar Watch priced at $149.00, the Walking Liberty Coin Watch $299.00, the Morgan Silver Dollar Watch $199.00 the Genuine 4th Century Roman Coin Watch $199.00)and the Stauer 1783 Silver Dollar Watch which retails at $295.00.
