Elin Osmund
Founder, movements
Trained in Le Locle, twelve years in after-sales service before she opened the workshop. Builds and regulates every OS.24.
The workshop
One room in Malmö. Two benches.
Osmund opened in 2014 with one lathe and a rented bench. Today it is two watchmakers, a timing machine and a drawer of parts for every watch we have ever sold.
The people
The two names on your timing sheet.
Jonas Berg
Cases and finishing
A toolmaker by trade. Turns and finishes every case, fits every crystal and signs off each watch before it ships.
The process
From bar stock to your wrist.
About eleven hours of bench time, spread over three weeks so the oils settle and the timing can be checked twice.
-
Turned
Case parts are cut from bar stock and finished on a watchmaker’s lathe, one at a time.
-
Assembled
Around 130 parts go into every movement, cleaned, oiled and fitted by hand under a loupe.
-
Regulated
Four days on the timing machine, adjusted in five positions until it runs within six seconds.
-
Signed
The watchmaker cases it, checks it, and signs the timing sheet that ships in the box.
What we believe
Three rules we do not bend
-
Serviceable forever
Every part in an Osmund can be made again on our own machines. No watch we sell becomes a sealed box.
-
Honest numbers
Every watch ships with its own timing sheet — the real result from its own four days on the machine, not a specification.
-
Small on purpose
220 watches a year is what two people can make without cutting a corner. We will not hire to grow faster.
Come and see the benches
Workshop visits Tue–Fri, 10:00–16:00, by appointment. Try every model on, and collect your watch from the person who made it.
