I'm not sure how familiar all of you are with this brand, but I actually just discovered it myself a week ago. I absolutely love their collections, only two of them don't appeal to me. I'll leave a link to their website. They have an in-house movement, and also use a Vaucher Manufacture movement in one if their collections as well. They are handmade in Sweden and seem of exceptional quality. sjoosandstrom.se/collection/ |

I really like the Explorer-ish one too. But I also like the dressier piece. The UTC extreme could be a breitling emergency alternative

Never heard of the brand before - thanks for the share. The Landsort in black on rubber strap and Royal Capitol with the micro rotor are my favorites. Did anyone see pricing on these? I didn't see any on the website.

I didn't see any on the website. I like those as well, the Landsort has their in house movement and the Royal Capitol is the Vaucher movement. It is hard to find pricing.. I searched them up on chrono and only two search results came up, both older models. Not much on ebay either.. If I had to guess i would say in the neighborhood of $5,000? |

Good to know there is a seller in Dallas. Now the question is, how do you pronounce that?

Interesting site, thanks for sharing.
Umlauts can occur on vowels a, o, and u. The umlauts above the o gives it a whole different enunciation. The ä sounds like "eh" and ö sounds like "err". The ü sounds like "oo" as in Glashütte. So taking a stab at this, Sjöö would sound like Sj-err-err ??

We should page jocke, or I can ask my friend in Sweden, Hélène. Oddly enough, that's pronounced Hey-lee-en. Learned that while I was there last month, I've been saying her name the American way for years. |
