German watch brands have always intrigued me. The likes of Sinn, MeisterSinger and others have some design features that I find interesting and useful. Damasko is no exception.
I was first introduced to the brand many years ago. The unique Damasko’s proprietary ice-hardened steel compound used for its watches impressed me immensely. Nevertheless, I never got down to search to get one for the collection. To be honest, the pricing was too rich for my budget. Recently, I noticed that a low-entry level DS30 was available that fit my budget. Moreover, a special Christmas sale pricing made the offering hard to pass.
The Brand
As this will be the first watch under the Damasko brand to join the collection, I will introduce the brand in detail.
Damasko was established in
Germany in 1994 by Mr. Konrad Damasko. The brand's unique value preposition was several. The first was the creation of a proprietary ice-hardened
stainless steel case. The second was a patented free
oscillating balance wheel coupled with a poly-crystalline silicon spring.
These materials are insensitive to magnetic fields and resistant to any damage caused
by pressure and temperature changes. More importantly, the timepieces are extremely accurate too.
