Five years ago today we put Straum out into the world. With the generous help, and lending of office space, from Aksel Jermstad , and Daniel , we launched Opphav and Rastarkalv. Thank you to the friends and family who helped us spread the message and make a name for ourselves.
When we first set out to design a watch brand anchored in Norwegian nature, we knew almost nothing about watches. It took years of work, alongside establishing families and holding full-time jobs. When we launched Straum, we weren’t sure if anyone would care. It turns out some of you did, and a lot of you are still here. We couldn’t have done it without your support.
Thank you for five years. The autumn ahead is the busiest we’ve ever had, more on that soon.
