Stollenwurm’s Founder Ed Tourtellotte Discusses the Inspirations of the Young Swiss Brand
Ed Tourtellotte, having transitioned from the tech industry, embarked on an ambitious journey by founding Stollenwurm, a Swiss watch brand inspired by a mythical Alpine creature. This brand stands out with its unique offerings, including the Series 1, which features an astronomical calendar with symbols for days, and the Series 2, which incorporates tarot card dials crafted with exquisite enamel techniques. Both series emphasize a blend of rarity and craftsmanship, utilizing materials like tantalum and platinum to create stunning timepieces that defy conventional watchmaking norms. The watches are not mass-produced; only a limited number of each series will be made, underscoring their exclusivity. Stollenwurm’s tagline, "Rarely Seen," reflects its commitment to creating exceptional timepieces meant for a select group of collectors. With a focus on unique materials and design, Stollenwurm aims to capture the imagination of horology enthusiasts, positioning itself as a brand that offers both high-quality craftsmanship and a nod to the mythical heritage of Switzerland.
