Only 10 pieces of the Winter Night watch will be produced by the Swedish team Gustafsson & Sjogren. In a way this watch is the accumulation of everything they have been working toward. That being a totally Damascus steel case, dial, crown, and movement plate. You either love or hate the look of hand-folded and forged metal. While not something I would wear on a daily basis, I find Damascus steel to be beautiful. Pretty much everything in this watch is produced in-house at GoS. That include the large movement plate (the rest is not in-house), and most of what you see and touch. The hands and hour indicators on the dial are done in 18k white gold, while the steel case are lovingly hand-made as Gustafsson would make a blade. Price is $19,000.
