Named for people
in no hurry.
The name
In Swedish, a slappis is someone who takes it easy. We took the word as a brief: a watch to wind down with, not one that counts you down.
The watches
Every Slappis is a 38 mm automatic in brushed steel. The seconds hand glides instead of ticking, and nothing is on the dial that you do not need to read the time.
Gryning 38, dawn
- Summer 2026 collection
- Silver-white sunray dial
- Slate calf strap
- €1,450
The same watch at four in the morning, when the light comes back before you have gone to bed. Pale dial, navy print.

Inside the 38
Eleven stops, from the crystal to the case back. Scroll to take the watch apart, and drag it to look around.
Sapphire crystal
Double-domed sapphire, 2.4 mm at its centre, with an anti-reflective coat on the inside so the dial stays readable in full sun.
Nine on the Mohs scale. Only diamond scratches it.
Three hands
Hour and minute are faceted steel with a strip of lume down the middle. The seconds hand is lacquered tangerine, the one loud thing on the watch.
They are showing your time right now.
The dial
A brass disc brushed outward from the centre, so light fans across it as your wrist turns. Twelve steel markers are set on by hand.
Thirteen batons: twelve o'clock gets two.
The case
316L steel, 38 mm across and 11 mm tall with the crystal. Brushed flanks, a polished bezel, and a crown you can grip with wet fingers.
47 mm from lug to lug, 20 mm between them.
Calibre SL-1
The automatic movement, seen from the back: 26 jewels, striped bridges, blued screws. Every part from here on belongs to it.
25.6 mm across, 4.8 mm tall.
Rotor
A weighted half-disc that swings whenever you move and winds the mainspring in both directions.
It is turning with your scroll.
Mainspring barrel
A coiled spring in a toothed drum holds the power. Fully wound it runs for 62 hours: take the watch off on Friday and it is still right on Monday.
62-hour power reserve.
Gear train
Brass wheels hand the barrel's pull along, each one turning faster than the last, down to one turn a minute for the seconds hand.
Centre, third, fourth and escape wheel.
Balance and hairspring
The balance swings four times a second and lets the train move one tooth at each swing. That is the tick, and why the seconds hand glides.
28,800 beats an hour.
Case back
Six screws and a second sapphire window, so the movement stays on show. Sealed for 50 metres: rain, sinks and a swim are fine.
Water resistant to 5 bar.
Back in one piece
Every part in its place again. It keeps time to within a few seconds a day, and will not mind if you are less exact.
How one gets made
Wound
Each movement is assembled, oiled and left running for five days before it goes near a case.
Cased
Dial, hands and crystal go on in one sitting. Then the closed case is pressure-tested to 5 bar.
Strapped
The strap is cut and stitched for the wrist size you send us, fitted, and the watch is checked once more before it leaves.
Take your time.
Both watches are made in small batches through summer 2026. Reserve one by email; there is nothing to pay until it is ready to ship.
