There is a certain poetry in time, in the weight of heritage carried through centuries of craft. With Carolus IX, Fredrik af Klercker unites four hundred years of Swedish design tradition with an enduring sense of elegance.
The softly curved tonneau case, inspired by early twentieth-century icons, gives the watch a quiet confidence that feels both classic and contemporary. Tonneau, the French word for barrel, evokes strength and harmony, a shape that has endured through eras of change.
Named after Skultuna’s founder, King Karl IX, Carolus IX represents the best of Swedish and European watchmaking heritage. It is a watch for life, created to be worn with the same ease and self-assurance whether paired with a tuxedo or nothing but sun-warmed skin by the sea.
Two versions are available: one with a black minimalist dial, and another with a white face featuring numerals borrowed from a grandfather clock in Västmanland, a subtle tribute to Skultuna’s roots. The watch is available online and in Skultuna stores.
