Royal Capital

Founded in 1986 by engineers and watch enthusiasts Christer Sjöö and Mikael Sandström in Stockholm, Sjöö Sandström grew from a watch-repair and restoration business into one of the few independent watch brands producing complete timepieces in Sweden. Each watch is hand-assembled to order, typically with a roughly two-week lead time, and individually numbered. The brand spans elegant dress pieces like the Royal Steel Classic, the dual-time UTC and Royal Steel Worldtimer travel watches, the deep-diving Landsort 459m, and the high-end Royal Capital, which pairs Swedish design with a Vaucher micro-rotor movement. Sjöö Sandström has built ties to Swedish institutions and was named Official Timekeeper for SAS (Scandinavian Airlines) on its 80th anniversary.
