Sweden is not traditionally associated with large-scale watchmaking, but GoS Watches has built an international reputation by combining classic haute horlogerie with Scandinavian materials, hand-forged Damascus steel, and an uncompromising finish at the workbench. For a small-scale, artisan-driven micro-manufacturer to achieve this top ranking marks a unique milestone.
“I’ve never let sales targets drive my watchmaking,” says Patrik Sjögren, master watchmaker and founder of GoS Watches. “What drives me is using each watch as a canvas for creativity and exploring new ideas, refining the craft, and making each watch a little better than the last. Seeing my small workshop receive this recognition is a wonderful affirmation that there is value in pursuing a patient, craftsmanship-focused vision. We are deeply grateful to the collectors and partners who make our work possible.”
The “Branch Winner” award is based on companies’ official annual reports, with only a small percentage of Sweden’s limited liability companies qualifying each year.
