Description
GoS Watches has been working with Damascus steel in watchmaking since 2007 — longer than any other watch brand. Over nearly two decades, the craft has been continuously developed and adapted to the specific demands of the watch: scale, precision, and contrast control.
Winter Nights III is the fullest expression of this accumulated knowledge. The dial is hand-forged by bladesmith Conny Persson in the signature Wildflower pattern — a Damascus steel developed exclusively for GoS — then machined and finished by watchmaker Patrik Sjögren through an iterative process of sanding, etching, and contrast treatment. The result is not a surface treatment but a resolved object, in the way a painting is resolved: returned to until the depth and balance are exactly right.
The stainless Damascus steel case ring carries a permanently bonded patina — a proprietary oxidation process that enters the material rather than coating it, evoking the weathered surfaces of Viking-era artifacts. This ring is framed by an 18k gold bezel and caseback, both engraved by hand with a Viking braiding pattern rooted in Nordic decorative tradition. The gold components are cast in collaboration with a Swedish master goldsmith, then brought to final tolerance and surface finish in the GoS atelier.
Winter Nights III is limited to 12 pieces. Every watch is made to order.
