The Swedish summer is well known for its never-ending balmy days in contrast to bitter winter months that appear to bring endless nights. Swedish-born Patrik Sjögren of GoS has embraced these extreme contrasts throughout his watch-making career, and he continues to channel these parallels on his latest endeavor. The namesake of this collection, the 2016 released Sarek, pays tribute to the landscape of the northern Swedish National park of the same name. The popularity of this original release has paved the way for further additions to this collection, all embracing elements of Sweden's nature while exemplifying the art of watch making.
The vast landscape of Sweden serves as the perfect relief from the constant chaos of life in the city. The absence of distractions allows for the focus to be on nature in all of its many splendid forms. Often taking inspiration from the world around him, the latest release of the Sarek is no different. The Frost edition evokes a memory of a worn down wooden cottage in the countryside Patrik spent his early childhood in it. The frost on the double paned window transformed the glass into nature's very own work of art, with ice painted by winter.
This early memory made an impact on Patrik's and drove him to desire to capture the enchantment of those frosted windows from his youth led to a unique watch dial. It's a dial that mirrors the randomness of frost and ice patterns, with the enduring charm of an icy frame serving as indexes.
GoS has a long tradition of working with like-minded parties who share the same passion for craftsmanship and creativity. However, finding a dial manufacturer and suppliers willing to take on the intricate task of crafting the sapphire ice and frost details proved to be a challenging endeavor. It took nearly a year before manufacturing could be started with a total of five collaborating Swiss artisans that were selected for their specialist knowledge. Each artisan plays an instrumental role in the making of the various dial components, with the curved and polished sapphire pieces being the most demanding to manufacture.
The dials encompass a sunray finish, along with glossy transparent and matte white hues, recreating the sparkling, shimmering appearance of frost. An hour track encircles the dial, but unusually it is formed of 12 sections of sapphire crystal, incorporating Swiss Super-LumiNova® and presented in three-dimensional form. This is a first for GoS and, to the brand’s best knowledge, the first time it’s ever been employed in the watch industry. The spaces positioned in between each block of sapphire denote the hours. By using sections of sapphire, the dial masterfully plays with light, reinforcing the icy theme.
