Fate of Cosmos
Sarpaneva Supernova
A supernova marks the end of one era, but it also signals the birth of another. By naming this watch "Supernova," I’m signaling a pivotal moment in Sarpaneva Watches - one where everything changes, and nothing is quite the same again.
Stepan Sarpaneva - Year 2006
The evolved Supernova - a timepiece reborn.
The Sarpaneva Supernova draws its inspiration from the raw, intricate energy of the universe - its complexity, its power, its unyielding beauty.
Wearing the Supernova is like carrying a piece of the universe on your wrist, a constant reminder of the forces that shape time itself. A true masterpiece, it’s more than just a watch - it’s a glimpse into the infinite.
When a star exhausts its fuel, it detonates in a brilliant explosion. Similarly, this watch represents a transformation, a rebirth in the world of fine timepieces.
The aftermath of a supernova explosion
For the first time, seen in this prototype, Stepan is exploring stone dials. In a way, stones carry the ancient memory of that cataclysmic event. They are the silent witnesses to the universe's most powerful moments—supernovae that scattered the building blocks of life and structure. These dials evoke the essence of a cosmic mirage, lending the Supernova a calm, natural aesthetic. It’s a balance of simplicity and depth, offering a serene contrast to the watch’s dense, powerful core. A quiet elegance.
Magnetar Turbine
Spiral Galaxy Caseback
Inspired by the rare and powerful explosion of a magnetar, this timepiece captures the intensity of one of the universe’s most awe-inspiring phenomena. The magnetic flares that erupt from these stars also give rise to the mesmerizing auroras we see on Earth. The first " turbine " design was created already 2003 for the Sarpaneva Oiva. Now in redesigned form in the latest Supernova.
...Some even say it has the power to predict the Northern Lights. Is it myth or reality? Only the daring few will ever discover the truth....

Cosmic Mirage
Just as exploding stars are fundamental to the universe and the creation of life, our watches are crafted with precision and purpose, designed to stand the test of time. The same elements forged in stellar explosions are reflected in the durability and sophistication of each timepiece. These watches are more than just instruments—they are a connection to the origins of life and the ever-moving force of time. Wear a piece of that story.
