Watches from Finland? Yes, there is such a thing. The long darkness in winter breeds some true eccentrics. So far I was only aware of the watchmaker Stepan Sarpaneva and his unusual creations. But recently I came across these watches by Eloheimo Time Engines.
A father and son team machine the cases from a solid block of steel and put a thick piece of sapphire crystal on the front. I really like the clear design and distinctive restrained scandinavian style.
Inside they house a Swiss mechanical movement. But with the Swatch Group stopping delivery of mechanical movements to firms outside it's group, I guess they will have to consider looking elsewhere.
