Several players in the world elite own and use a Grandmaster watch.

– I get genuinely happy and moved every time I see that someone in the world elite uses their Grandmaster watch regularly, says founder Øyvind Von Doren Asbjørnsen, who himself is very interested in chess. Among other things, he has previously produced the film “The Prince of Chess” (2005) and “Magnus” (2016) about world champion Magnus Carlsen.
