Völund Fullerö Sword
Price Tier N/A
Watch / Info Inquiry Inspired by an ancient Viking sword, sometimes referred to as the Fullerö Sword by bladesmiths, the new watch is endowed with a dial formed of hand forged Damascus steel. Both the bezel and caseback are enlivened with the GoS braided motif, while polished and satinfinished surfaces are juxtaposed, delivering nuanced contrast. A Swiss automatic movement, the La Joux-Perret G101, personalised to GoSs exacting requirements, sits at the heart of the Fullerö Sword, a watch that exudes much Scandinavian charm.

The swords surface was adorned with an intricate pattern-welded core that amazingly was still intact, testament to the fine craftsmanship employed at the time of its creation.
