To call the Stellina »the little sister of Stella« would be unjust<br />

to both timekeepers. They do however share a number of<br />

similarities and congruences: their measurements, for example,<br />

are identical – as are the three little disks of glass that allow<br />

an unimpeded view of the manufacture movement, which is<br />

outfitted with a Swiss échappement and a so-called gear<br />

stopwork on both models. The gear stopwork, also simply<br />

known as the stopwork, limits the power reserve of the<br />

movement to precisely eight days cleverly using the middle<br />

tension of the mainspring and allowing for the most precise<br />

rate of the movement.<br />

Stellina – the Small Table Clock with Regulator-Dial<br />

Dimensions: Height: 16 cm Width: 12 cm Depth: 8 cm<br />

Naturally, the gear train of the Stellina also comprises ten<br />

milled, gold-plated wheels making their rotations in twelve<br />

precision ball bearings and eleven ruby bearings.<br />

Both of the Stellina’s case variations are crafted in precious<br />

woods. One variation contains a top and base of solid<br />

macassar, while the second variation boasts polished wood<br />

that has been painted silver. The sides of both variations<br />

are lacquered black.<br />

The Stellina boasts the regulator display so often seen in<br />

<strong>Sattler</strong>’s products – a result of the company’s great affinity<br />

for classic precision clocks – which features a large minute<br />

hand and smaller subsidiary dials for hours and seconds.<br />

A polished hand arbor, tempered navy blue steel hands, and<br />

a high-gloss polish on the dial screws discretely underscore<br />

the origins of the Stellina as that of <strong>Sattler</strong>.<br />

The winding key is stored in the case’s base.<br />
