About GoS Watches
Sweden’s most exclusive wristwatches are being made in Linköping in a unique collaboration between a knifemaker and a watchmaker. The collaboration between the master bladesmith Johan Gustafsson and master watchmaker Patrik Sjögren celebrates its 10th anniversary this year and GoS is since many years established as an independent watchmaker with a global clientele. GoS manufactures wristwatches from Johan Gustafsson’s pattern welded steel and has shown that it is possible to manufacture elegant and exclusive watches from a material which dates back to the Viking era. Viking crafts have also been a great source of inspiration in the latest collection, where shapes a Viking sword handle are found in the winding crown.
