Damasko is a manufacturer of mechanical wristwatches and chronographs based in Barbing, Germany. [2]
Damasko was formed in 1994 using high-performance materials technology that the founder, Konrad Damasko, had developed for applications including the aerospace industry. [3] Until their partnership ended in 2002, Damasko was a supplier of hardened watchcases to Sinn. [4] 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 Swiss ETA SA. [5]
Damasko holds patents in the use of polycrystalline silicon for components, including the spring. [6] Damasko has also developed a nickel-free, nitrogen enriched martensitic alloy that is hardened up to 64 HRC/800 Vickers. [7]
The Damasko DC56 has been certified as an official wristwatch for Eurofighter test pilots. [2] In 2015 the Damasko DA38 was nominated one of the best men's watches under €2000 by GQ magazine. [8]
