Urs Jaermann is the first to admit that he is not an expert golfer. If he was, he might never have developed the Jaermann & Stübi golf watch. As an average player, counting strokes tends to interfere with concentration on the game. This inspired an innovation.
With Urs’ dislike of keeping score, combined with his love for watches, the idea of Jaermann & Stübi was born. And ten years later it became a reality.
The History
Pascal Stübi and Jaermann met at a communication strategies lecture. With Stübi’s experience creating watches and Jaermann’s dream, they found that they had a similar vision of creating a golf watch made in Switzerland.
Jaermann & Stübi do not engage in mass production-everything is hand crafted on a small series and numbered individually, making these watches some of the most sought after and exclusive in Switzerland. After all, luxury and exclusivity shouldn’t be found on every wrist. Otherwise, what’s the point?

The Techology
Movement
Jaermann & Stübi watches are equipped with the newly developed and particularly durable Caliber A10-2 movement which has a power reserve of 42 hours. The movement has a center-driven second hand and can be wound either manually or automatically. Belonging to the chronometer class, it is borne by 25 jewels with shock absorbers.
Golf Counter
The heart of the new complication, the mechanical counter, is a recently patented invention. There is one counter for strokes per hole, a second counter to keep track of total strokes per game, and a retrograde counter to display holes played. A secured pusher resets the first counter automatically and the counters can all be reset when the game is finished. The sophisticated design of the complication can be compared with that of a chronograph.
Shock Absorber
One shouldn’t play golf with a mechanical watch unless that watch is a Jaermann & Stübi. Our watches have the special shock absorber developed for the game of golf, which protects the inner mechanisms of the watch against strokes and impact. This patent pending innovation was developed and tested with golf professionals.
The ShockGuard is visible through the back made of scratchproof sapphire glass. The back is hermetically attached to the case by six screws. The watch case itself is waterproof up to a depth of 100 meters.
We make watches from the golf clubs of legendary golfers. These exclusive one-of-a-kind pieces are limited editions. The design of the watch is developed in cooperation with the golfer.
The watches are produced in such a way that they can be unambiguously assigned to a specific club. In an elaborate multi-stage process, watch cases are manufactured from the golf clubs. The metallic composition of the clubs is analysed to create an alloy that fulfils the requirements of a high-quality watch case.
After melting, the clubs are forged into blanks for the case at a temperature of around 1,200 degrees Celsius. The finished watch case is then cut out from the blank in an additional step. It is used alongside the remaining components to produce one of our unique Jaermann & Stübi watches.
For this reason, our Legends watches always have a special aura. We are particularly proud of this.
