A JOURNEY TO SWEDEN, TO THE FORGES OF DAMASCUS STEEL

Finding the right rhythm, striking the right balance between two cultures and two crafts – it took patience and vision. In December 2021, Louis Erard and GoS Watches were brought together by Manuel Emch, the architect of Louis Erard's strategic revival and creative transformation. He found a kindred spirit in Patrik Sjögren, watchmaker and founder of the Swedish workshop GoS.

Together, they envisioned a timepiece that would blend the essence of both Maisons: the technical precision and aesthetic refinement of the Swiss Jura married to the artistry of a Swedish forge, where masters of Damascus steel conjure mesmerizing patterns and contrasts in an almost alchemical process. After three years of dedication, the result is extraordinary – a series of 178 pieces of The Louis Erard Regulator X GoS, each one infused with the resolute spirit of the North.

”While Swedish and Swiss craftsmanship evolved worlds apart, they are united by shared values: mastery of handcraft, a deep connection to nature, the power of materials, and a distinct, unmistakable aesthetic. A GoS timepiece is as instantly recognizable as a Louis Erard. Merging our two DNAs while honoring each brand’s identity was a meticulous process. We had to let the Damascus steel speak—its raw intensity and uniqueness commanding attention—while shaping it in a way that seamlessly integrates our signature design codes.” Manuel Emch.
Snow and Steel in Fusion
Linköping, 200 kilometers from Stockholm, is hardly the watchmaking capital of the world, yet it is here that master watchmaker Patrik Sjögren has chosen to establish his atelier. A craftsman who takes his time, he shapes and assembles each piece by hand, ensuring that every watch is truly unique.

A Tribute to the Art of Damascus Steel
Each timepiece is housed in an elegantly proportioned 39mm steel case, framing a Damascus steel dial that makes every watch truly unique.

Floating above this one-of-a-kind surface are three distinctive blue hands, arranged in the classic Régulateur configuration. The design embodies GoS’s signature aesthetic, from the triskelion-inspired small seconds counter at 6 o’clock to the sharply notched hour and minute tracks, also a hallmark of the brand’s design syntax.
