Introducing – The Winter-Themed GoS Sarek Frost

Picture this: the days are getting shorter, nights are getting longer, the temperature is dropping, and it’s snowing for days on end. As you gaze outside to admire the snow-covered landscape, you notice the windows are frosted over. Ice crystals have formed on the edges of the thin transparent barrier that keeps the warmth in […]

Introducing – The Highly Radiant GoS Sarek Rissa

We all have personal favourites in this business, and it would be a very boring place if we all liked or disliked the same things. The Swedish independent brand GoS is such a brand for me, as I am a big fan of the intricate details of the Damascus steel the brand is known for. […]

The Collector’s Series – Chris Cashion and his rather special GoS Skadi

Each member of the MONOCHROME team has their favourites amongst the many brands and watches we share with all of you. And for me, one of the brands I have been following closely since I joined MONOCHROME is the Swedish brand of Gustafsson & Sjögren, or GoS in short. The duo of Patrik Sjögren and Johan Gustafson offers very unique watches incorporating hand-forged Damascus steel for the cases, bezels, crowns, dials and more. So when I learned of the opportunity to chat with the owner of a very special 1-of-5 GoS Skadi, I just had to follow through.

Independent Watchmaking – GoS Sarek Sunset and Sunset Glacier – Emulating the Beauty of Nature with Luminous Mother-of-Pearl

Johan Gustafsson and Patrik Sjörgen, founders of GoS Watches, create watches that encapsulate their passion for Scandinavia’s Viking past  and the natural beauty of Sweden’s landscape.

Introducing – GoS Sarek Midnight Blue, Known Watch, New Dial (And what a dial…)

A unique piece is something few people can afford, but a lot of us dream about. Whether it might be a record-smashing Patek Phillipe for Only-Watch or simply your custom ordered life-long desired piece; there is a massive appeal in knowing you are the only one in the world with the said watch. But there is also another option: artisanal watches where REALLY no two watches are alike despite being part of a certain theme or a limited production run. And the new GoS Sarek Midnight Blue is one in the latter category; it’s a watch that despite the fact that they will build more than 1, you’ll still have a stand-out, unique piece on your wrist!
