Supernova

Sarpaneva Supernova

A supernova marks the end of one era, but it also signals the birth of another. By naming this watch "Supernova," I’m signaling a pivotal moment in Sarpaneva Watches - one where everything changes, and nothing is quite the same again.

Stepan Sarpaneva - Year 2006

The evolved Supernova - a timepiece reborn.

The Sarpaneva Supernova draws its inspiration from the raw, intricate energy of the universe - its complexity, its power, its unyielding beauty.

Wearing the Supernova is like carrying a piece of the universe on your wrist, a constant reminder of the forces that shape time itself. A true masterpiece, it’s more than just a watch - it’s a glimpse into the infinite.

When a star exhausts its fuel, it detonates in a brilliant explosion. Similarly, this watch represents a transformation, a rebirth in the world of fine timepieces.

Cosmic Mirage

Just as exploding stars are fundamental to the universe and the creation of life, our watches are crafted with precision and purpose, designed to stand the test of time. The same elements forged in stellar explosions are reflected in the durability and sophistication of each timepiece. These watches are more than just instruments—they are a connection to the origins of life and the ever-moving force of time. Wear a piece of that story.

Little Bear illuminates Finland’s northern sky

The classic Northern Light dial returns. Following autumn’s somber harvest, nature is swiftly overtaken by the harsh winter that follows. As the world darkens, only the constellation of the Little Bear illuminates Finland’s northern sky. Inspired by this poignant and evocative time of year, Stepan launched two variations of his K3 collection on the first liberating day of 2011’s spring, each adorned with diamonds shaped like the Little Bear. One model captured the essence of the coldest winter day with a blue-sky dial, while the other reflected the darkest nights of Finland’s winter, with a deep black dial.

“It is about the Northern Stars, which I can see during the coldest moments of the Finnish winter, when I look up at the sky from my workshop window.”

Magnetar Turbine - Spiral Galaxy Caseback

 Inspired by the rare and powerful explosion of a magnetar, this timepiece captures the intensity of one of the universe’s most awe-inspiring phenomena. The magnetic flares that erupt from these stars also give rise to the mesmerizing auroras we see on Earth. The first " turbine " design was created already 2003 for the Sarpaneva Oiva. Now in redesigned form in the latest Supernova.

...Some even say it has the power to predict the Northern Lights. Is it myth or reality? Only the daring few will ever discover the truth....
