Nordgreen Watches
When you’re in love, everyday feels like a holiday. And it seems that time goes slow when you are apart, but it flies when you are together. So, why not give each other the gift of time – figuratively and literally.
Figuratively speaking: Date night should always be part of your weekly calendar. Spend it at home or go out for dinner. How about a cruise or traipsing to places in your bucket list for your next vacation just the two of you? It does not matter which one you choose as long as you spend time together.
Literally speaking: Nordgreen watches from the Copenhagen-based watch company that burst into the scene in 2017 which took the watch world by storm. In their first year, founders Pascar Sivam and Vasilij Brandt saw their fledgling watch company make $1.2 million in sales and sold in 70-plus countries.
With Jakob Wagner, a five-time recipient of the IF Product Design Award and Designer of the Year at the helm of the Design team, Nordgreen offers approachable luxe watches – the Pioneer, the Philosopher, the Infinity and the Native.
The Pioneer
The Pioneer
The Pioneer is Nordgreen’s take on a chronograph, celebrating the Danish tradition of Science for Humanity, which aims to create positive change for humankind, thus working towards a greener future. Denmark is a global pioneer in green technology advancements, driving change and inspiring nations across the globe to do the same.
The Pioneer’s makeup is striking in its simplistic design. Its rounded and softened edges give it a sophisticated take on a classic timepiece. Combined, the sub-dials, the stainless steel case, and the domed sapphire crystal embody the resilience of Danish innovation.
The minimalist, clean dial is synonymous with the sustainable environment that many strive to live in. The Chronograph second and minute hand indicated by the red tips are representative of those found on wind-turbines, reminding us of the bond between Nordgreen and the sustainable outlook of its homeland.
The Philosopher
The Philosopher
The Philosopher is a tribute to humanity’s ability to learn from the past, act in the now and continuously strive for progressive thought.
The Philosopher’s conically shaped case is broader at its base as it rests
elevated on its lugs. This impressive design draws the eyes center into a two-piece dial, which is remnant of times most captivating moments.
The Philosopher’s asymmetrical second hand appears to slice continuously through time, as a statement of resilience over any challenge.
The Infinity
The Infinity
The Infinity watch embodies pure Scandinavian minimalism. The Infinity has been completely stripped back to its essentials, resulting in a designer watch that can be worn for all occasions. Jakob’s inspiration
for the Infinity is nature. He wanted to connect the Infinity with the evolution of nature, removing the complexities of our modern life.
The deep curvature of the bowl-shaped watch dial reminds us of infinite time and space, affirmed by the extended hourly marks that glide up to the edge of the dial as if reaching into endless possibilities.
The lugs, the date, and the fine detail of the hourly marks have all been removed to bring you a raw and simplistic timepiece that naturally suits any style.
The Native
The Native
The Native is a timeless design meant to reinforce the relationship between the timepiece, the user and the enduring aesthetics of its vibrant capital, Copenhagen. Designed against the balanced image of the city, this timepiece is stative of a work-life balance, a balance for sustainability, and a balance between aesthetics and functionality.
Up close, the Native’s design reveals a rounded appearance from the hour and minute hands, hour marks, watch case, to the lugs all highlighted by a clean dial. The transparent minute marks appear under direct light but are otherwise less evident because, in Copenhagen, Danes don’t count the minutes; they enjoy the moment.
