Since its creation in 2015, the Gothenburg-based microbrand has constructed a compact however fascinating assortment of watches, with its widespread Shellback making its means into the accessible dive watch class. However the younger Swedish duo behind Tusenö has determined to shock us with one thing utterly completely different.
