Atelier Nossedh is a Scandinavian-influenced independent watch microbrand specializing in vintage-inspired mechanical timepieces with contemporary execution. The brand was founded by Alexander Gimell, a Swedish designer driven by a passion for classic chronograph design and a desire to create a watch that felt just right — balanced, elegantly proportioned, and mechanically honest. The name Nossedh means “passing time” in the Sámi language, reflecting the brand’s philosophical connection to the art and experience of timekeeping.
Atelier Nossedh’s design philosophy prioritizes proportion, comfort, and purposeful details. Its debut model — the AN.01 Chronograph — is Swiss-made and inspired by mid-20th-century chronographs but avoids imitation. It features a compact 37 mm case, a bi-compax dial layout with a tachymeter scale, a manual-wind Sellita SW510 movement with ~63 hours of power reserve, and double-domed sapphire crystal. This blend of classic watchmaking cues and ergonomic refinement creates a watch that balances everyday wearability with vintage charm.
