Design and development
A Sjöö Sandström watch consists of several hundred tiny parts. Some are sculpted or stamped from a block of metal, some are abraded and yet others are laser-cut. After each part is given its initial form, it undergoes numerous steps of refinement. Teeth are shaped in wheels, contours are shaved to within a micron, holes are drilled, etcetera. Before assembling the watch every single part is subjected to a thorough technical and aesthetic inspection. For example, any hand that appears to be parallel to the dial, but is actually bent by a few hundredths of a millimeter, is immediately removed and exchanged.
