Damasko


Damasko is a manufacturer of mechanical wristwatches and chronographs based in Barbing, Germany.

History

Damasko was formed in 1994 using high-performance materials technology that the founder, Konrad Damasko, had developed for applications including the aerospace industry. Until their partnership ended in 2002, Damasko was a supplier of hardened watchcases to Sinn. In 2014 Damasko released its first models based on a movement designed themselves. Prior to this time its watches had relied upon movements sourced from companies such as Valjoux.

Technology

Damasko holds patents in the use of polycrystalline silicon for components, including the spring. Damasko has also developed a nickel-free, nitrogen enriched martensitic alloy that is hardened up to 64 HRC/800 Vickers.

Awards and certifications

The Damasko DC56 has been certified as an official wristwatch for Eurofighter test pilots.
In 2015 the Damasko DA38 was nominated one of the best men's watches under €2000 by GQ magazine.
