Göta-Lejon Kontra Gauss GMT

The Göta-Lejon Kontra-Gauss GMT is a luxury handcrafted watch. It’s manufactured to perfection in-house and equipped with our own Kontra-Gauss shield to effectively battle exterior magnetism. The watch displays dual time zones and comes included with three high-end accessories to fit a variety of occasions.
Kontra-Gauss anti-magnetic shield

Our in-house developed technology battles exterior magnetism effectively by redirecting up to A / M 286000 or Gauss 3600 of magnetic current away from the mechanical movement. Made possible by a year long extensive research & development. Made from a special alloy that forces magnetism to change direction, effectively shielding the movement. The Kontra-Gauss, and movement, is enclosed inside up to four layers of steel acting as additional magnetic adsorbent.

Material & finishing

Swedish steel, renowned for its purity and strength. To achieve sharp edges, light-catching surfaces and mirror-like angles, a tedious practice of grinding, sanding, bead-blasting and polishing is executed, as well as enameling. No less than nine stages of finishing is made on each watch, all of which by hand in Göteborg. With the help of contrasting surfaces, the watch looks different from every angle, resulting in a masterful presence. .

The Watch Face

Designed to be legible in all environmental conditions, with a sophisticated sun-brushed base and contrast markers. Vital information is displayed in a bead-blasted surface to easily catch light and enhance readability. The local time is subtly viewed from the inside sun-shaped index ring and large illuminated markers at 12, 3, 6 and 9. The GMT ring surrounding the dial is illuminated by a thick layer of SuperLuminova to display your secondary time zone. Printed at the lower end is “Göta-Lejon”, symbolizing our most premium in-house manufacturing.
Precision Certified

The Göta-Lejon collection is our passion and pride. We put immense attention to assure 100% perfection in regards to performance and quality. The Swiss movements are regulated, modified and tested in our own Performance Center to achieve an average precision of within +4/-1 seconds per 24 hours. Additionally, each timepiece is chock-tested, pressure-controlled, and put to simulated 72h wear.

Sustainable Luxury

For now, every GL Kontra-Gauss GMT watch comes included with all three high-end accessories to fit a variety of occasions. A screw-attached stainless steel bracelet with a new micro-adjustment dive clasp, an Italian rubber strap with embossed buckle and a waxed Kodu leather strap with an integrated fit and butterfly clasp.

Wild Kudu

Our leather straps are made from Kudu, an antelope living in the wilderness of southern Africa. To keep the balance of the local ecosystem, the Kudu is gathered in its natural habitat by civilian hunters, completely free from industrialisation and animal cruelty. Each finished strap show natural blemishes from the Kudu’s contact with natural vegetation. The leather is tanned in a vegetable process and hand stitched in a small atelier in Northern Italy. The finished strap is extremely soft right out of the box.
Limited Output

Each watch is made per individual order, executed largely by Mr. Erik C Andersson himself and delivery time is adjusted according to the number of orders in que. The first pieces are available to ship already in May if you order early. Each dial option is limited to 50 pieces.

Semantics

Göta-Lejon, or “Gothic Lion” in English, is the official symbol of Gothenburg and has been for 400 years. It’s the city’s official crest and symbolises the Swedish Kingdom defence towards the west. As our company was founded in Gothenburg, and the watches are manufactured here, we found Göta-Lejon to be a fitting name of our in-house labeled watches.

Kontra-Gauss is, besides an anti-magnetic shield, the actual name of the watch collection.
