You have now revealed that Gustafsson really is The Batman and Sjögren is Alfred the butler!  smile



Patrik (not Batman's butler)  Sjögren  holding limited edition Winter Nights for PuristS in his right hand.






The hand shape is unique and is currently handmade for small batch production.
GoS make most of the components, if they can. 
Or they heavily modify parts.  (See above.)

They even make their own wooden boxes using traditional Swedish techniques that used to be taught at school. Every schoolchild was expected to produce a box for their woodworking project. Alas, those days are long gone but we can get a remnant of the memory with the Winter Nights for PuristS watch box.

Obviously some items are sourced from external suppliers with the industrial equipment to make hairsprings, sapphire glass etc. 





My movement being tested.....





Their high-end watches get the damacus-style forged mainplates on the GoS-Martin Braun movements.





I think some Winter Nights for PuristS watches are still available from GoS if you mention you are a PuristS member.

Or you can check out the PuristSPro Marketplace:  
market.watchprosite.com 

Or write with your real e-mail account (Not PM) to: help @ puristspro (dot) com  (remove spaces/brackets and use a real 'dot')

Good Luck,

Quite genuine those hands; The 1st picture reminded me a bit to the Batman logo, pure coincidence as the seconds hand is just in the right place.
