References: goswatches & luxist
Ever admire pearls, but wish they were wrapped around your wrist rather than your neck? Gustaffson & Sjögren, a Swedish watch-making company, is introducing the Stockholm, a line of watches that features rich mother-of-pearl dials. Simple, yet elegant, the pearl watch emanates beauty and is sure to please vintage and high-end watch collectors alike.
Still not decadent enough for you? The hands of the watch are made with Damascus steel and folded metal, at the center of each dial is a sapphire crystal, and the straps are made from alligator skin!
If you’re planning on buying this pearl watch, good luck. Gustaffson & Sjögren is only making four of these beautiful creations (with an additional special edition Stockholm watch being made with lapis lazuli).

Trend Themes
1. Luxury Watches - The use of rare materials like mother-of-pearl and alligator skin present opportunities for luxury watchmakers looking to differentiate their products.
2. Limited Editions - Gustaffson & Sjogren's decision to create only a few pieces of their exclusive Stockholm line presents an opportunity for other luxury brands to experiment with ultra-limited editions.
3. Vintage-inspired Design - The simplicity and elegance of mother-of-pearl dials in the Stockholm watch may inspire more watchmakers to create a line of vintage-inspired timepieces.
Industry Implications
1. Watchmaking - The use of high-quality, rare materials and exclusive edition releases could attract affluent watch collectors and open opportunities for more boutique luxury watchmakers.
2. Luxury Goods - The rarity and high price point of the Stockholm watch could position it as an ultra-exclusive luxury good, creating opportunities for other luxury brands to explore more extreme pricing strategies.
3. Jewelry - High-end luxury watchmakers are continuing to blur the line between watches and jewelry, creating an opportunity for jewelry companies to explore more watch-like designs.
