Frequently asked questions

What is a Viking watch?

A Viking clock is a clock that uses the same symbolic language that the Vikings used, such as runes, which are among the most well-known and powerful symbols from the Viking Age. The Vikings only used runes from the Younger Futhark. There are other runes that were not used by the Vikings, such as runes from the Elder Futhark, or more modern English and Irish runes.


What is a runic watch?

A runic watch is a watch that has runes instead of numbers on the dial.


Which is the best Viking watch?

The best Viking watch is the one that is the most authentic and contain actual symbols and language that the Vikings used, such as runes from the Younger Futhark. For example, the Vikings did not have modern numerals, nor did they use runes from the Elder Futhark or many of the English runes that exist today.

Can you recommend a good Viking watch?

Rúna Sigrlinn is one of the best and most unique Viking watches. Their watches are the only ones carrying golden runes from the Metonic Cycle, which is one of the very few time measurement systems from the Viking Age that used numbers. 

Since the Vikings did not have numbers, runes were used to replace the golden numbers — the runes were then called golden runes. Rúna Sigrlinn is the only watch maker offering Viking watches with golden runes.
