Sphaera Watch Co. - Eugendorf

ROA Cellblock

My wife and I were traveling to Austria and I was interested in purchasing a watch from a local watch company. I researched various companies and discovered “Sphaera,” an independent watch company located in Salzburg, Austria. I queried their website and found they had just released the “Rare Editions Blue Damast.” The dial is made out of Damascus Steel, hand-forged out of high-quality Austrian tool steel. The hand polishing, etching and tempered coloring gives the watch face a dark blue/ grey color. Impressed by the watch, I emailed Sphaera and inquired if I could purchase a Rare Editions Blue Damast during our trip.

Daniel Deák, Founder, Marketing Director, responded and invited us to visit the Sphaera Atelier. Upon arrival in Austria, we met with Daniel and traveled to the Atelier, where we met with Martin Ebner, Founder, Watch Maker. Martin gave us a tour of the design studio, where he carefully designs, assembles and crafts the timepieces. We were thoroughly impressed with the attention to detail, ingenuity and dedication that goes into the creation of the Sphaera watches.

After the tour, we toasted my acquisition of the timepiece while overlooking the mountains of Salzburg. The craftsmanship of the timepiece is of the highest quality and will make a fine addition to my collection. The watch was packaged inside a custom wood watch box. Also, inside were two handmade leather straps and a watch tool. I purchased an additional handmade strap in Olive Drab.

A big Thank You to the folks at Sphaera for making this purchase such a unique experience. I look forward to future purchases.
