![]() ![]() The modifications place them in chronometer range accuracy as well as provide decoration. ![]() Inside the watches are Soprod modified ETA made Unitas 6498-1 manually wound pocket watch movements. Gustafsson & Sjögren may just be the new quintessential “metal” watch. ![]() The part of me that likes heavy metal rock music wants to say that these watches are “very metal.” In homage to this concept I have placed an image of the cartoon band Dethklock from the show Metalocalypse. I love the Nordic mythic styling that these watches have. Note the special strap on the Aurora model that has an interesting pattern of contrasting white embroidery. Instead of a titanium chapter ring, the Aurora has titanium cylinders on the dial that make up the hour markers like raised columns.īoth watches have GoS forged crowns as well that have an embedded diamond in them. Next is the Aurora 009 watch that has a more classic look mixed with the chemical tones of steel with dark hues and greens. The blued steel hands are a nice chilly scene to go with the “Blizzard” name. Really no two of the watches will ever look alike. There is a small signature circular blade shape that is the subsidiary seconds dial. The Blizzard has a titanium chapter ring cut like jagged teeth that double as the hour markers. Both employ unique forms of Damascus metal forgery. Both of the watches share the same thick 44mm wide steel cases and have either mesh metal or leather straps. You can tell that GoS is newer, and is careful about releasing models. The numbers seems to indicate what model the watches are in chronological order. The two new models are the Blizzard 010 and the Aurora 009 watch. As such, GoS makes some of the most wonderfully artistic dial and automatic rotors out there – if you enjoy the aesthetic that is. Because the popularity of the artistic metal work lends itself to other fine creations (and because lots of knife and sword lovers also like watches), their talents with metal apply to watches well. GoS are essentially fine metal workers who still have a robust shop making blades. I previously discussed the G0S Dragon watch, where you can look for a bit more details about the brand. Does this observation fit with your habits? There is a tendency for us watch lovers to enjoy reading about wild timepieces, but when it comes down to it we want to wear something more conservative. Patrik Sjögren and Johan Gustafsson have found that their customers prefer more classically styled watches – who’d have thought? It is actually true though. The line continues to evolve in a conservative manner (aside from the Damascus steel that is). Everyone’s favorite metal working watch makers Gustafsson & Sjögren (GoS) are back with two new watch models. ![]()
