JS WATCH COMPANY REYKJAVIK
Since the first time I had a SIV N.A.R.T. watch from JS Watch Company in my hands, I have badly wanting to own one of these Icelandic master pieces.
Taste is open to interpretation, but most people agree that it requires at least some level of exposure and selectivity. Many fine high-end watches shine perceptions from their owners hands. But for those who have wanted to stand out from the bling, there is a small watchmaker in Iceland, JS Watch co. Reykjavik. All JS Watch co. timepieces are designed and assembled by hand in their workshop in Reykjavik, Iceland. You can drop in anytime and see master watchmaker Gilbert O. Gudjonsson assembling these jewels in their shop located in the main shopping street in Reykjavik. Celebrities has taken the trip to see their new watch in the making. - Quentin Tarantino, Tom Cruise, Mads Mikkelsen, Viggo Mortensen, Gordon Ramsey, Ben Stiller to mention a few. So did I but I however had to catch a 30 pound salmon to get my JS Watch.
In cooperation with JS Watch co. and the management of Laxá í Aðaldal, I designed a watch plate for the SIV N.A.R.T. in honor of the exclusive Icelandic 30 pounder salmon club. If you want one of these unique watches, you better start fishing salmon and be prepared to work a lot for it🎣
