Collection: SARPANEVA Watches

Founded by master watchmaker Stepan Sarpaneva, SARPANEVA Watches draws inspiration from Finnish heritage, nature, and cosmic phenomena. All watches are individually handcrafted in Stepan's Helsinki atelier.

Stepan Sarpaneva was born in 1970 into a family steeped in Finnish craftsmanship—his father, Pentti Sarpaneva, was a jewelry designer, and his uncle, Timo Sarpaneva, was an acclaimed artist and designer. This creative lineage shaped Stepan's path. He graduated from the Finnish School of Watchmaking and later honed his skills in Switzerland at WOSTEP (the prestigious Watchmakers of Switzerland Training and Educational Program). From 1994 to 2003, he worked for elite maisons including Piaget, Parmigiani Fleurier, Vianney Halter, and Christophe Claret, specializing in complex complications before starting his Independent eponymous brand in 2003.

Stepan has built a reputation for fusing traditional horology with avant-garde aesthetics. The brand has since expanded into S.U.F Helsinki (SarpanevaUhrenFabrik), focusing on even more Finnish-centric, limited runs.

Horology By The Sea is an Authorized Dealer for SARPANEVA watches. All new watches are furnished with a 2 Year International Warranty.
