Kong introduces the GoS Nordic Seasons 'Winter' edition, completing a series inspired by Scandinavian contrasts. This release showcases the unique collaboration between bladesmith Johan Gustafsson and watchmaker Patrik Sjögren, focusing on their distinctive use of hand-forged Damascus steel.
The partnership between the bladesmith Johan Gustafsson
and watchmaker Patrik Sjögren aims to provide truly unique watches,
created with inspiration from the cold north of Scandinavia and the
ancient Swedish tradition in metallurgy.
GoS proudly presents -
Winter - the last edition the Nordic Seasons series of watches designed
with inspiration from the rich contrasts of the Nordic seasons. The
theme for the Winter dial is ice. Ice is perceived as blue when light
passes through it because it blocks red light. The shade is determined
by the thickness of the ice, i.e. the thicker the ice the more saturated
blue color.
The dial is created in tempered pattern welded
steel, also known as damascus steel, which has been hand forged in Johan
Gustafsson's unique Explosion pattern. Patrik Sjögren then treats the
surface and gives it an exact tempering to give it a lustrous ice blue
color that change nuance depending on light conditions, reflections and
viewing angles. The contrasting hands in solid white gold are highly
legible on the blue dial.
Another
unique feature is the damascus steel bezel inset that frames the dial.
The trademark oversize crown in damascus steel has a larger diameter
than previous GoS models but the height has been reduced to increase
overall wearability as the case core is 45mm.The hands of the Nordic
Seasons are made in solid gold and have the GoS sword shape that
premiered in the Stockholm model. An index ring with markers with
similar shapes to match the hands. All hands and index rings are hand
finished with polished bevels.
All Nordic Seasons are equipped
with a strap in black soft nubuck as the matte surface of the straps
blends well with the damascus steel finish. These GoS straps are
handmade and are fastened with screwed lugs and a stainless steel GoS
buckle.
