Few things say as much about a person as his watch. Some people just wear their watches to tell the time. For them, a simple wristwatch for less than twenty dollars is the right choice. But for the rest of us,a watch means so much more. For us, the jewelry on our wrist is a mirror of our taste, our personality, and our preferences.Wearing a SÖNERsays that time is importantand that Ichoose my timepiece with care.

We first launched the brand a couple of years ago, offeringonly quartz watches. Since then, we have matured as a company and watch brand. we havelistened to feedback from the watch community, we now know, more than ever, whatwe want to offer.We want to offer the Momentum, a modern and minimalistic designed, and affordable automatic watch that combines originality with high quality.
The name SÖNER
SÖNER was founded by Freddie Palmgren to challenge the status quo of round-dial watches and bring something that’s both original and truly timeless. Created as a tribute to his sons William and Widar, the brand captures the father-son bond which was first represented by the introduction of the LEGACY collection and showcased through its distinct logo featuring the initials SW and three dots which represent the founder and his two sons.SÖNER means sons in Swedishand reflects the founders strong belief in the importance of family and the idea of a watch that can be passed on to future generations.
Through high-quality timepieces that stand the test of time, SÖNER aims to create timepieces that can be passed on through generations - an idea that’s printed on the box of each watch - “A man's legacy is the stories he leaves behind…”
Our Inspiration
The carefully designed timepiecescapture the essence of the 1920s art decomovement,inspired by the square and rectangular shapesthat dominate architecture and contemporary design even today. From rectangular windows to screens, phones to doorways, each SÖNER watch is aesthetically inspired by the symmetry of quadrilaterals.
Inspired by the iconic JLC Reverso and Cartier Tank, our timepiecesblend the best of art deco and modern watchmakingto create something that is truly unique. The thick stainless-steel case with its beefed-up lugs pushes through the dominance of round shapes and challenges the world of fashion toembrace the squareagain.
Reinforced with aanti-reflective sapphire glassand powered by areliable automatic movementandavailable in vibrant colors, SÖNER watches are statement pieces that leave a mark wherever you go. The minimalist designs add the perfect amount of balance to your outfits and give it that sophisticated art deco charm.
Quality Without Breaking The Bank
Few watches in the same segment have such a unique design and high quality while being affordable at a moderate price.
The case of a SÖNER is cast from ahigh-quality (316L)solid piece of stainless steel. It sits comfortably around the wrist with itsarched backand easily disappears under the cuff. The watch closes tightly down to100 meters pressure (10ATM), so you can easily take a swim with your SÖNER. Theluminous (C3)hands and dialare protected by the super hard,anti-reflective(2 layer, inside),andscratch-resistant sapphire crystal, one of the world’s hardest materials that can only be scratched with a diamond or another sapphire. Below the dial sits the high-performance Japaneseautomatic movementMiyotacal. 9039from the famousCitizen Miyota, which guarantees many carefree years of accurate time. As the finishing touch, we have fitted the watch with acustom made crownwith our logoembossed on its top.
Swedishquality
Born on the Swedish west coast,our watches follow theSwedish traditionof design and quality, the same fantastic quality that has made Sweden known all over the world.Let the Swedish reputation for quality and exquisite design speak for itself. Our automatic watches, with their elegant and radiant dials, are guaranteed to impress. Every watch tells a story and brings your outfit to life, showcasing true originality and a refined sense of style.
Miyota cal. 9039 the perfect choice
After endless discussions, we finally found what we feelcompletes the Momentum.In the Miyota 9039, we found theultimate combination of a modern, thin, reliable, high-beating, and well-known movement that we were looking for. The Japanese Citizen Miyota caliber 9039 is a24-jewelautomatic movementthat was introduced to the market in 2018. As a member of the 9000 family of movements, this caliber is part ofMiyota's Premium automatic line.

Classic, beautiful and elegant masterpieces. As a watches collector, i'm now a proud owner of 2 and can't stop to wearing them.
Customer service is beyond expectations.
Highly reccomended!

Refreshing, unique style time piece, sized right for this style case shape as it’s not too big and not too small. The dial has been finished well and everything applied properly. The finishing on the case is great too, polishing to a mirror finish (I opted for the polished version). The leather strap is quite good, especially for a watch in this price range and it even comes with a deployment clasp. Overall I am very happy with this purchase, it will be getting plenty of wrist time amongst my vast collection
