Championing a minimal aesthetic that’s authentically Scandinavian, Copenhagen-based Richardt Mejer’s Automatisk makes a bold statement even with its subtle, minimal style. Constructed with a form that’s dominated by geometric lines, and with a brushed-metal finish on both the inside and out, the Automatisk has a balanced design on the outside, and a STP1-11 Swiss Made automatic movement on the inside.
The Automatisk’s design showcases the watch face in its simplicity, with a 316L brushed steel body, and two overlapping metal plates with an anodized finish sitting right under the hands. Available in silver, plum, olive, black, and a matte grey finish, the watch face uses an interplay of colors to look bold, while luminova markings make sure the time is visible both in day and at night. The watch comes with a date window at its 6 o’clock position, maintaining its sense of balance and symmetry, while the linear markings and the smooth gliding second hand provide a minimalist appeal. Flip the watch over and you get a glimpse at the 26-jewel STP1-11 movement sitting underneath a sapphire crystal glass exhibition window. An authentic Swiss-made automatic movement, the STP1-11 provides a stunning accuracy of 28’800 vibrations per hour, with a rapid date corrector and a power reserve of 44 hours.
A hallmark of Danish design, the Automatisk is a combination of a geometric and a minimal approach to design. With no extraneous or additional detail on its form, the Automatisk’s design captures the pristine-ness of Scandinavian design. The watch comes in a variety of 4 color combinations, and features genuine calf-leather straps in both black and brown. A classic in every which way!

The Automatisk Watch Collection
A modern Danish designed timepiece with uncompromising geometry, craft, innovation in design and powered by a Swiss automatic movement.
Left: AUTOMATISK / STONE. Right: AUTOMATISK / PLUM.
The approach to design and quality hasn’t changed since the company was founded in 2015, and newer will; still the same subtle lines, curves, and innovation in design. This time the team is stepping it up by adding the STP1-11 Swiss Made automatic movement to this new line of watches.
There are four different color variants to choose from: Moss, Dark, Plum and Stone. They will be available with two different straps to choose from, black or brown.
AUTOMATISK / DARK
The Case
A solid build watch case in high-grade antimagnetic 316L stainless steel that comes in a brushed finish or a darker sandblasted finish. Scratch resistant Sapphire Crystal in back and front – an anti-reflective double coating secures a clear view. Water Resistant 5 ATM.
The Hands
Richardt Mejer Signature hands are used in all of our watches, this time with a brushed or sandblasted finish and Super-LumiNova® luminous paste pointers.
The Dial
Double layered “bullseye dial”. The lower level is a matte colored dial with fine printed line-markers. The upper level is a sunray dial with printed logo and date window at 6. Stair-shaped steel markers are applied at 12, 3, 6, 9. The markers are Part brushed and part polished with Super-LumiNova® luminous paste.
Swiss Made Automatic Movement
The Automatisk model is powered by the Swiss Made STP1-11 from Swiss Technology Production. A high quality automatic movement that features:
– Hours, minutes, sweep second
– Date, rapid corrector
– Stop second device
– Self-winding mechanism with ball bearing
– 28’800 vibrations per hour, 4 Hz.
– 26 jewels
– Power reserve 44 hours
The development of the STP1-11 movement began in 2006 when the company was established. Today, their movements are used by famous Swiss watch companies.
The Straps
You can choose between two different strap colors, black or brown, both made of fine genuine calf leather with a rectangular padding and a matt surface. The straps are with quick release, so you don’t need any tools to change strap (see demonstration in the video below).
Design & Craft
Richardt Mejer is about developing and designing quality timepieces you won’t find anywhere else, and so is the Automatisk watch. All parts are designed and will be manufactured for this project only. It’s a long but rewarding process, but in the end, what makes the difference.
The Design for the Automatisk is building on the same principles as our two past collections, the Signature, and the Daily, but at the same time, nothing alike. We have developed a more aggressively angled case design that evolves from the flat sapphire crystal on top, and curve by curve eventually touches down on the wrist.
Feel & Wear
The Automatisk watch is a high-grade timepiece, and it feels like it. The Swiss Made STP1-11 movement is almost silent, it’s only when you put the watch up to your ear that you will hear that perfect machinery ticking away. When you’re wearing it, you will gently feel the movement rotor working inside and reminding you of its self-winding mechanism.
It is well proportioned and fits perfectly on a mid to large sized wrist.
