The amount of care and attention to even the tiniest details on this is just amazing… the crown, the recessed hour markers, even down to the luminova.. wow 😮😮 and the inspiration behind the pieces… such richness, and the light blue one is beautiful
Great interview. So much passion for design and craftmanship. Each detail is exquisite. Especially love the hands, crown and case edge. Creative use of sapphire and crystal is impressive.
God i love this channel you show watches and whats brands that ARE INCREDIBLE!Not just keep on riding the coat tails of rolex and its name or the give or take 10 other popular mainstream watches that everyone and anyone keeps talking on how these are these best watches ever made and that they are everyones grail because they are whats popular. We dont actually have any tastes or opinions of our own. That is way marco and this channel are the greatest
I really appreciate your comment, I've got more coming and I will focus even more on filling the gap and try to avoid boring you with the top 10 brands. :) In a way I'm building this channel for a "Marko from 10 years ago" so I'm just having fun!
I have met Patrick and he is an absolutely charming man. Really committed to his product which is true artisan watchmaking. I hope to purchase a GOS before too long.
The dial is very beautiful but it’s way too expensive for the la joux Perret movement it has, which is really just a miyota 9015 with micro adjustment that’s been made in Switzerland. I’m sorry I just don’t do companies that take Chinese and Japanese movements and make them in Switzerland and then say oh it’s Swiss made. And while the movement meet be made in Switzerland the design of the movement came from a Japanese or Chinese company so to me it doesn’t count. To me for a movement to be Swiss made it needs to be built in Switzerland and the design of the movement must also have come from and been founded by a Swiss company making it a Swiss made movement design as well. Due to companies doing this you have to be very careful of buying watches from companies that chain to have their own in house movements, cuz what you don’t know she what they won’t tell you is that the design of their in house movement actually came from a Chinese or Japanese movement company. Yema and nomos have both allegedly used movement designs from Chinese movement companies and just tweaked them in get minor ways , and then pass them off as their own in house movements. The same way la joux perret added a micro adjustment screw to the miyota 9015 and then now they call it their own movement. That’s wrong on so many levels. If they were an honest decent brand they would add a label with every movement they sold that says: “this movement is based on a miyota 9015”. And to not do that is really just trying to lie to your customers tbh. So yeah don’t like the la joux perret, it’s really just a Japanese seiko movement and I don’t like the soprod a10 either cuz it’s really just a seiko movement. It came from a seiko design that soprod bought that seiko used to put in their grand seiko and credor watches and when grand seiko developed a new movement they sold it, their old one, to soprod. Yeah I think I such with selita which used to be a branch of eta and stp which may have roots in China but atleast they are making movements that come from Swiss designs. I can’t believe these awful companies find a loop hole to sell ppl Chinese and Japanese movements and call them Swiss made. That’s deception on a whole different level and I’ll never put my money into one of those companies that is trying to deceive their customers
wow gos nice slick watches realy like when marko show us the brands that are low on the radar instead of the giants patek,ap,rolex etc etc small brands i see puts soo much work and effort to their watch,great marko you do this for us❤
I wouldn’t call these luxury watches, not in the traditional sense. these are incredible art pieces that happen to tell time, a rolex doesn’t cost what it costs for the same reasons as these watches. big name luxury watch brands mass produce their pieces in factories, and they cost a lot mostly because of the prestige and materials. something like this you do pay for the materials but damascus steel isn’t as expensive as gold, you really pay for the craftsmanship and the time and effort that went into producing the art. I don’t fully disagree with your take tho, some luxury brands do really put in the time and effort that makes the price tag worth it still, just not most of them.
@@CCPwillfall01supply and demand. The value is kept high by limiting supply, and what materials are used. There will not be enough demand for this brand to sustain a high price, meaning it will not be the same as Rolex, patek
👍🏾 Great interview and presentation!! This just reminds me why I became a watch aficionado/connesiour many, many years ago: I just love the vision, creativity, ingenuity, and craftmanship of inspired watchmaking. 🫡 Salute to all our active service members and veterans on this tremendous Memorial Day weekend of honor and remembrance! 🇺🇲
Not gonna lie but i didn't see / understand the design until explained :/ I do like it better after the fact but to me this brings both good and bad impression. Probably not something i would buy, id probably wear it if i had it tho. Seems like a nice build anyway and was fun to hear the talk.
@@gamershideout89-ke2vn Yes but very brittle, that's why they only use ceramic, but I've also seen those break and crack when they fall so stones would be even worse I guess.
Beautiful watches...definitely not the first Damascus steel though. That would go to Ondrej Berkus. I happen to have watch #15 by him and it is exceptional.
I love Ondrej's creative work but I don't think he would agree with you on being the first. I made the first GoS Damascus steel watches early 2008 and the first Damascus steel movement modification in 2010.
Damascus steel is a term that has been watered down so much that it doesn't mean anything anymore. It's not from the Near East, it's not ancient or made from imported ingots from India. It's nothing but regular old steel with a banding and mottling pattern which hardly qualifies as Damascus steel.
@@kevyriverside8082 The meaning words only change if their definitions change. Too many amateur blacksmiths on UA-cam and TikTok have watered down the meaning of "Damascus steel", making ordinary people think it's just a pretty pattern when it's actually a lot more than that. There's a reason for why Damascus steel smithing is considered a lost art. You can't actually make it anymore. Whatever people are making nowadays is an imitation, not the real thing.
@@mrmagoo.3678 I’m not going back thru the whole vid to timestamp dust for u hahaha … I noticed dust 3 times and wasn’t really looking for it … it’s there .

Well, pricing is fair, if you compare to the other brands on the market. But again, it's a business, he needs to calculate what works for him not what the price should be.
Which model would you wear?
Frost. But tough love the ice frost but also the dark blue - The Damascus case i love too hmmmmaybe Damascus with ice blue ?
Dark Blue Frost 👍
None of the above ! F***in UGLY !
Ice blue with Damascus please!
Ice blue frost and fuchsia northern lights.

His watches are just amazing. Incredible workmanship and also very beautiful.
Made me wanna buy one. Then I realized it was $30 000

Beautiful watches and very cool dial and case designs. Thanks Marko 👍🏽👍🏽

This video still doesn't explain why a patek is worth 80k even though it's made with 100 dollars in parts and 2k in labor

I think I’ll get one ,very different ❤️🏴👍
Love the northern lights. Looked at the website too and damn the best ones are there xD
Yea, the depth of the guilloche even surprised me while I was filming those close-up shots.
Incredible watches
great interview, very interesting guest
Oh it's these!... that Demascus dial is beautiful.... can't complain about all the others either.😮😊
Glad you like it!
Simply awsome
These are incredible.
I'm a glass blower and I've wanted to make dials, maybe I should move to Sweden haha
Hit up Patrik, maybe you can work together.
Simple but beautiful
You never disappoint Marko!
Thanks bro!
Leather dial lol Marko you’re hilarious! Love these pieces!
All of then are beautiful.💯👍
Humility is nice, also.
They should make a Damascus bracelet for that Damascus watch.
That would be dope.
Awesome 👍🏻
Crazy shit - i love it!
Very nice. Original
Glad you like it!

As an astrophotographer id like to see more astro related designs :D
I feel that I can easily justify the cost for brand with the missing “o”.
What is the point of luminescence if the hands aren't lumed?
I use luminescence primarily for ambience and not for legibility.
AWESOME
Thanks!
One word wow
I’d wear the watch which represents Odin, preferably in the green😉😂
I think that can be arranged :D
Amazing work and quality but design is not for me. Wish the brand the best though.
yoo first comment!
sickkkk dial on the first one, the superluminova under the sapphire is so cool!
Glad you like it!
Can we have a watch made of full solid stones like marble, granite etc? I think that's possible
Tissot made it a long time ago, google "tissot rockwatch". Otherwise Analog Watch Co. but I haven't seen any in person.
@@SwissWatchGang I see. It will be great to have an interlinking bracelet made by the same rock 🪨 🪨

What expensive time is it? “Its twenty-thousand dollars o’clock”
It's a great watch.
But tge "Frost" looks more like the sesame on my bagle.
Phil Collin can sing too
I’ve got a Huawei GT3. 😊
Nice, I've got an iPhone.
Swedish watch maker is so going to be mistaken for being Swiss...
Yup, but I always begin my presentations with a basic map of Northern Europe. 😉

This is NOT Swedish-This is Swiss,it’s two different country’s
Does it remind you of MING?
Well, GOS was here before but they both feature more minimal dials, maybe that's why.
woah
Love them 😂 arggh
improve or remove those 2 sophmoric graphic elements ( logo & viking symbol) and these pieces immediately become more handsome
I don't see damascus as being very suited for the watch market. It's beautiful, but it doesn't belong there imho.
Well, matter of personal preference. It doesn't suit every brand but an indie like GOS can satisfy those who want one.

too expensive for a small trinket, I would rather buy a car.

Is it just me or do these look cheap? The designs remind me of infomercial watches you used to see on TV.... android, invicta, etc.
Depends on your experiences but yea, to each their own.
13:06 there's a chip on the spinny thing. Poor quality.
