Sarek Rissa
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.
