I talked a bit about damascus steel watches a couple weeks ago, and received an email from a Swedish watchmaker named Patrik Sjögren,who wanted to share with me his line of watches made with Damascus steel from knifemaker Johan Gustafsson. Sweden is actually quite famous for their production of Damascus steel.

Sjögren takes the damascus watch a step further than the Damascus Dial. He uses Damascus for the crowns and also for the rotors of his automatic models! Quite incredible. Most of his peices sit close to the $8000 mark, and look to be one-of-a-kind creations.

These watches are truly unique and offer something that no one else out there offers. Very cool, but possibly a bit more eclectic than many of us are willing to go?

Either way, these are fantastic examples of the creativity that is coming out of the horological sector around the world!
