The Sirna
Sirna
The Sirna is the first model of the brand Strehler. This timepiece is born from the mind of Andreas Strehler who wanted to go back to the basics of horology and produce a timepiece that can be wearable for any occasion as well as having a timeless design and movement. This first model is an automatic three hands watch, combining years of knowledge and craftsmanship And more importantly, this watch is mande entirely in our workshop in Switzerland, in Sirnach.

A watch is born
With Sirna, the first creation of the brand, Strehler focuses on the essentials, injecting uncompromising ethos into an elegant three-hander. Indeed, the initial inspiration for the Sirna model was to encapsulate the creator’s philosophy, watchmaking expertise and exquisite craftsmanship into a simple daily watch. The idea was also to create a watch that will stand the test of time and that can be enjoyed by many generations to come.
The entire watch, from the movement to the case, dial and hands, is produced by a dedicated team in the brand’s own workshop. Based in Sirnach, a small town of the canton of Thurgau in between lake Constance and the alps, it is one of the very few full-fledged watches manufacture in the German-speaking part of Switzerland.
The Sirna is powered by a new automatic movement born from the single-minded pursuit of engineering perfection and the belief that there are no shortcuts. Admirably blending technical and aesthetic refinement, the SA-30 movement (30mm calibre) is entirely developed, manufactured and finished in-house. Its design was guided by the idea to create a superb, robust and reliable engine. The SA-30 is regulated by a swiss lever escapement special to Strehler and a large free-sprung balance wheel. Its large barrel delivers a particularly constant torque and ensures 60 hours of power reserve. Visible via the exhibition caseback, the impeccable execution of the finishings – chamfered and polished bevels, circular Geneva stripes, graining or circular-grained wheels – all channel the movement's sophisticated architecture. The bridges and the skeletonised 18k gold rotor create a series of circles that echo the curvature of the case.
With its versatile 40 mm diameter and harmonious proportions, the elegant polished steel case feels quintessentially "Strehler". Its fluid lines add a modern touch: the elongated lugs beautifully extend the case band and gently bend downward for enhanced ergonomics. With its concave profile, the Sirna is particularly thin (8.5 mm) which offers superb comfort on the wrist, making for a great daily wearer. The classic case, case back and bezel construction is water-resistant to 3 atm.
The Dial
What is mostly special about the Sirna is its dial. First the pattern has been designed by Eric Giroud. Unfortunately, this is hardly understandable with a photo since this pattern is made in 3D. It is manufactured in house out of titanium, and then laser engraved by our engraver. After the laser engraving that makes the 3D shape appear on the surface of the dial, each triangle is hand polished by our engraver. And lastly, the dial is anodized in blue, which gives this electric blue color. The stainless-steel chapter rings are then printed with the indexes. In total, we need more than 25 hours of work for only one dial. Moving the dial to the light and playing with it really change the face of the watch, sometimes matt, and sometimes shiny with its hand polished hands.
