Philip Stein History

Oprah’s Favorite Things and Philip Stein

The story of Philip Stein appearing on the most watched episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show.

Philip Stein has already made it to Oprah’s Favorite Things twice. Indeed, in 2003, and again in 2005, Winfrey felt that Philip Stein was noteworthy enough to tell the world about, recommending two different watches as great gifts. In both cases, audience members received the selected Philip Stein watches free, along with all of the other items presented on the episode that particular year.

Oprah’s Favorite Things is traditionally broadcasted during the holiday season, usually around Thanksgiving time, on The Oprah Winfrey Show. Year after year, Oprah’s Favorite Things is the most viewed episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show.

In 2003, the 350 members of the audience each received a classic Philip Stein watch, and in 2005, the gracious audience, consisting of Hurricane Katrina volunteers, each received a Philip Stein diamond watch.

It is more difficult to obtain tickets to Oprah’s Favorite Things, compared to other episodes aired on The Oprah Winfrey Show. This is because audience members are usually chosen based on a particular characteristic.

Historical Overview of Oprah's Obsession with Philip Stein

It is no small secret that Oprah Winfrey adores Philip Stein watches. According to O, The Oprah Magazine, a magazine staff member experienced the disappearance of chronic knee pain after two weeks of wearing a Philip Stein watch in 2006.

O, The Oprah Magazine, also included a Philip Stein timepiece with dual-movement and sapphire-coated dials in its collection of white summer watches that radiate cool and clarity in 2008.

That same year, The Oprah Magazine included a Philip Stein timepiece featuring a pebbly green strap in its list of must-have shagreen accessories. Shagreen is a hard wearing, quality skin.

Oprah Winfrey herself received a colorful Philip Stein timepiece with six different bands from Madonna. Oprah loves the fact that the watch is fashionable, and also has the ability to promote better sleep, reduce stress and enhance the energy level of the wearer. Oprah celebrates her adoration for Philip Stein by repeatedly including luxury watches manufactured by Philip Stein in her list of “favorite things”.

Founders of the Philip Stein Brand

Who is Philip Stein?

Since the company was formed back in 1999, many have wondered about the man behind the brand. Many have tried to contact him, to interview him, to talk to him, to find out the secret behind his success, but alas, to no avail.

Perhaps this will come as earth-shattering news to some, but there is no Mr. Philip Stein. Instead, it would be wise for those in search of Mr. Philip Stein to get acquainted with Will and Rina Stein, founders of the renowned Philip Stein brand, who dreamt of creating feel good watches, and realized their dream in unprecedented measures.

In 2002, the Steins were introduced to the notion of replicating naturally occurring frequencies, and developed this idea into natural frequency technology. The result: a worldwide fan base, of people who are forever thankful to the Philip Stein brand for having helped them get more in tune with themselves, experience better sleep, more focus and overall wellbeing.

Philip Stein is so called because at the time of its creation, the Steins were expecting a son, who they planned to call “Ben Philip”. In celebration, they named the brand “Philip Stein”; their son was later named “Ben Stein”.
