One of the most arresting colors witnessed on a dial exists on this magnificent "Sarek Rissa" from GoS of Sweden. Limited to just five pieces per year, the Sarek Rissa features a handcrafted guilloché dial by Jochen Benzinger with vivid color reminiscent of Caribbean waters. Above the dial is an index ring made of hand-blown Swedish crystal with enamel work underneath to color match the dial.
I have long been a fan of GoS' for its strong design language which draws inspiration from Sweden's fascinating Viking past. The powerful hands are shaped like spears while the handcrafted crown is shaped like a Viking sword hilt and the fluted case band like armor, to name a few.
The reverse side reveals a La Joux-Perret G101 caliber which operates at 4 Hz and carries a power reserve of 65 hours. Underneath the skeletonized rotor with GoS' signature Triskele emblem are bridges which were given an anthracite color and finished with Côtes de Genève.
The Stainless Steel case measures 41.5mm x 11mm x 49.5mm lug-to-lug and is furnished on a black salmon skin strap and Damascus steel GoS buckle.
