Damascus Steel Courtesy of Gustafsson & Sjögren, Times Two!

By Matt Himmelstein June 12, 2014

Gustafsson & Sjögren, GoS Watches, is a wee boutique brand out of Scandinavia that is manufacturing some really beautiful watches, most of them featuring Damascus Steel. Thought the original method of making this steel has been lost to history, modern metallurgy has created beautiful and intricate blades by forge welding and twisting iron bars of differing composition. GoS has been using this material for their watches for some time, and the results are quite striking. Starting this month, the brand is offering a “gentleman’s folding knife” to complement their watches.

GoS is celebrating an anniversary

By Patrick Kansa January 27, 2017

It seems hard to believe it, but GoS (aka Gustafsson and Sjögren) have hit a milestone. They have now been creating their watches with the Damascus steel dials and accents for a decade. As part of hitting that 10-year mark, they have a few new things in the works.

Welcome to our regular Sunday feature, Watch Video Rewind, where we here at WWR highlight interesting videos we track down from across the web.

Watching the Web for December 5, 2015

By Matt Himmelstein December 5, 2015

It is hard to believe it is December already, but it is, so it is time to roll out our weekly edition of Watching the Web. Here, we highlight interesting articles we come across on other sites, as well as identify which of our own recent articles were the most popular over the last week or so. For this week’s article, I have an ultra thin tourbillon, a new brand from one of the men behind Magrette, and a Damascas steel watch from GoS. From our pages, the posts about new Magrette models, the Lew & Huey Phantom and the Crowdfunding Round Up topped the list.

The GoS Bifrost Dresses Up

By Patrick Kansa August 28, 2014

I have long been a fan of the creations coming from Gustafsson and Sjögren (aka GoS) Watches, with the inclusion of damascus-process steel. They pair the amazing patterns they fold into the steel with treatments that introduce colors evocative of different scenes, to great effect. While many dress watches tend to go for a look that will not attract undue attention, the GoS Bifrost instead has a stunning dial that invites commentary.

As readers of WWR know, I’ve been rather enamored by the damascus steel watches that the team over at GoS have been putting out. While I wasn’t writing about watches when they released their first model paying tribute to the Northern Lights of Lapland, I most certainly am now.
