Sarek Rissa   Watch / Info inquiry                    

GoS introduced the Sarek collection in 2016 with damascus dials, whose patterns mimicked the elaborate and ever-changing waterways of Sarek National Park. The collection has since evolved with new elements and variants both with and without Damascus steel dials but always with the same technical specification.

The Sarek Rissa is the second watch in the updated Sarek collection, which Patrik Sjögren has worked on for two years. The updated Sarek is slightly smaller in diameter with its 41.5mm and the thickness could be kept almost the same even though the new movement is thicker. A lot of effort has gone into refinement of the already existing design elements. One example of this is seen in the lugs that have been shortened and re-shaped to match the GoS crown.

The Sarek Rissa came about when a client wished to have the expression of the lagoon-green Norrsken Rissa in a slightly smaller case. Patrik Sjögren discussed the idea with Guilloché master Jochen Benzinger who confirmed that he could adapt the northern-lights guilloché pattern to work on a dial with a center seconds hand for a different movement and the project was started in June 2023. GoS sometimes introduce bespoke pieces as official GoS models and the Sarek Rissa was so spectacular when it was finished in September, that Patrik decided to offer it to other GoS clients in a limited production.

Sarek Rissa has a glass index ring, which is a detail that originated in the Norrsken collection. The ring is recessed into the silver dial and allows a view through onto the perlage pattern in the recess beneath and reflecting lagoongreen colors from the sides. This is accomplished by hand-applying lagoon-green enamel to the outer edge of the
glass ring.

La Joux-Perret introduced a new automatic movement with a 65 hour power reserve in 2021 and this is the movement of choice for the 2nd edition of Sarek. The G101 movements are manufactured to GoS specification, which includes the anthrazite finish, and are equipped with a skeletonized and beveled rotor. The rotor is then further embellished with a GoS triskele emblem in gold finish.

The production of the new Sarek Rissa is limited to five pieces per year.

Sarek Ladies – Glacier & Sarek Ladies - Sunset   Watch / Info inquiry

 GoS introduced the Sarek collection in 2016 with dial patterns that emulated the elaborate and ever-changing waterways in the Sarek National Park. A number of variations and bespoke elements have since then been introduced as well as dials that resemble the famous northern lights of Lapland.  Northern lights are by far the most famous light phenomenon of the north, but the colorful Autumn Sunsets can be just as spectacular.

GoS tempered damascus steel dials have deep and dynamic colors, but one limitation is that they do not emit any light. Mother-of-pearl is translucent and let both color and light through the material. GoS is the first watch brand to use this property to present mother-of-pearl dials that glows in colors.  Patrik Sjögren has developed the combination during two years to perfect two favorite themes, sunset orange and ice blue, as seen in glaciers and thick ice. The elegant and colorful dials are framed with a bezel made from Swedish stainless damascus steel.

Premium tapered strap and Swiss made deployant buckle
GoS watch straps normally are made from moose leather sourced by GoS. However, the Sarek collections dress watch qualities are sometimes better matched with a tapered strap in a more glossy leather. We now offer alternatives to further personalize the watch in both leather qualities and stitching to match or contrast the dial´s color range. The deployant buckles are Swiss made and supplier´s patented and elegant snap lock mechanism has been proven to be flawless by major premium watch brands.

Presentation box in Swedish crystal
The elegance of the unique dials in mother-of-pearl is matched with new GoS presentation boxes in Swedish crystal. The manufacturer Vas Vitreum is a family owned company that is now run by the 4th and 5th generation of glass craftsmen. GoS and Vas Vitreum collaborated in designing a multi-functional crystal box that serves equally well for display as elegant protection of the watch inside. https://www.vasvitreum.se/vasvitreum

The watch is mounted on a soft cylindrical pillow made from reindeer suede which is secured inside the crystal box.

Specification

• Case:  31.5 x 40 x 9mm (5ATM)

• Lug width: Single lug, 16mm strap

• Glass: Flat sapphire glass with double sided AR coating, extra hard on outside

• Movement: Soprod A10 with GoS triskele rotor, dark satinized and additional handfinished counter weight with model engraving “Glacier” or “Sunset”.

• Dial: Three-layered dial with premium white mother-of-pearl on top and a thick layer of Swiss Super-LumiNova below for the best available afterglow and colored luminescence. The luminescent material is enclosed by a thin rhodinated brass plate with hand-soldered dial feet. The dials have a EU design protection and are manufactured and assembled by hand in the GoS workshop.

• Bezel: Stainless damascus steel from the masters at Damasteel in Söderfors Sweden. The bezel is manufactured and finished in the GoS workshop.

• Index ring/rehaut: Two layers combining previous GoS design with inspiration from viking bracelets. The hour markings are opened to show the color and light from the dial. All elements have polished bevels and satinized top surface.

• Hands: GoS spear shape in high gloss polished Rhodinated finish

• Crown:: GoS design in highgloss polished with satinized grooves. It is 6.5mm in diameter and has double gaskets.

• Case finishing: Stainless steel worked with inspiration from viking rings and then fully highgloss polished to provide lustre.

• Strap:  Handcrafted and tapered 16-14mm in either black moose leather or pastel colored premium leather with Swiss made stainless steel GoS deployant buckle.

Sarek Ladies – Ice Blue - a Swedish national treasure on your wrist    Watch / Info inquiry

GoS introduced the Ice Blue tempered dials for the first time in the model Nordic Seasons Winter that was introduced during Baselworld 2012 and the Ice Blue tempering was featured again in the first GoS dress watch Bifrost two years after. Patrik and Johan have now further refined both the steel patterns and dial finishing and are proud to add Sarek Ice Blue to the GoS collection. Patrik is able to create separate blue nuances for the two different steel types in the Damascus steel pattern by tempering the dial in multiple steps. The colors of tempered steel are created when light is reflected on the surface and slightly different nuances can be experienced based on the angle of reflection and the light source. These dynamics combined with the highly detailed and reflective surface results in a dial that is both elegant and eye-catching.

The ladies model shares some of the Viking inspired details that were introduced with the men's Sarek while adding new details such as the strap screws. The elliptic grooves on the case ring which GoS premiered on the men´s Sarek have been made more elegant and the whole case is high gloss polished. Another striking difference us the index markers of Sarek Ladies, which opened to show the colored steel below. The slightly sloped case interior provides more light to the indexes and provides a surface on which the colored dial is reflected.

The patterns and tempered natural coloring of the Sarek damascus steel dials are inspired by the landscape of a valley in Sarek national park in Swedish Lapland. Sarek National Park is regarded as a Swedish national treasure and is often referred to as Europe's last true wilderness area. It hosts the largest Moose (Älg) in Europe and is also home to 100 glaciers and six of Sweden’s 13 highest peaks. The park is 2000 square kilometers of majestic and untouched wilderness and its remoteness is matched only by the breathtaking beauty of its peaks, valleys, and fast-running mountain rivers.

The hands of the Sarek Ladies are high gloss polished in a Dauphine finish with a center ridge to emphasize our inspiration from Viking arrow and spear heads. Sarek is powered by a Soprod A10 movement, which is equipped with a custom GoS triskele rotor, finished in satinized dark grey with am additional rhodinized counter weight. The Sarek Ladies is available with black Sarek Moose leather strap or optional pastel colored straps in high-quality leather, all fitted with a stainless steel folding clasp. Shapes from Viking sword handles were the main source of inspiration when we designed the new GoS crown. The result is a unique crown that is highly ergonomic.
