This is real trash; I returned it right away. The quality of the piece is really, really poor; it's made in China and looks it. I had been hoping it would be good and was immediately ashamed that I'd thought it might be... this is Chinese, not Swiss: I noticed too late that the fake "German" name must have been chosen to sound like 'sterling.' Steer clear of this tacky piece of rubbish if you know what's good for you.
