The partnership between the blade smith Johan Gustafsson and watchmaker Patrik Sjögren aims to provide truly unique watches with inspiration from the cold north of Scandinavia.

The amount of handcraft involved in the production of the GoS watches is very high. Many parts are made of hand forged Damascus steel including the dial, crown and, for the automatic watches, the rotor. Even the case itself is shaped by hand in the first GoS models. This means that every GoS watch is truly one of a kind. The watches are numbered according to the production sequence and are given a name that is inspired by the look and feel of the dial pattern.



The movement that GoS chose for the first models is the well-known ETA movement 6498 and 6497, formerly Unitas. This movement was designed in the 1950s and has received more attention in the last few years as the fashion for larger cases allows fitting large movements in wristwatches. The 6497 and 6498 calibers have become regarded as one of the best pocket watch movements ever designed, for their ruggedness and accuracy.



The stainless steel case is glass blasted and coated with industry-strength titanium PVD. The titanium case back has a large glass that offers full view of the beautifully finished movement. GoS also offers uniquely customized handcrafted watches in addition to the available models. Customers can request patterns and colors based on the broad range of Damascus techniques shown in Johan Gustafsson´s knife production. The name of the watch will also, as with the knives, be possible for the customer to suggest.

The GoS watches are delivered in an exclusive wooden box together with a framed certificate with the watch name and specifications. Every certificate has a unique design based on the name of the watch and its color scheme.
