Hope it is OK to post here ;-)

I had the big pleasure to make a visit to the danish Linde Werdelin R&D office in Denmark.
Well to cut the story short - I'm a steel man, black dial and no bling. So the classic Elemental Linde Werdelin watch really did it for me. I had a soft spot for the DLC watches before I came - but somehow the classic steel was drawing my attention again and again.

Somehow a classic design will forever be classic ... And from my understanding from Morten there is also an idea in having a design that is easy to recognize even if seen from a distance. A little like Rolex and Panerai. The steel band band of a Rolex is easy to see from a distance, the crown guard on the Panerai is also something easily seen from a distance.

The same is true of the Linde Werdelin watches - the shape of the case, the band connection to the case - all is easy to recognize from a distance.

One of the things that has surprises me from when I tried a watch on for the first time - Is how good is sits on the wrist when you thing about its size.

It easily have the same comfort as my old Rolex watches - but the watch have the same "presence" as eg. my Panerai.

An then some pictures - many more on my little blog - don't know if OK to link - but if not ok - please delete (I have seen links to other blogs so I hope it is OK)

Well I have many more pictures and stories - if you like I will post some more...

For me it was a fun trip - and a nice time

The watch company was featured in a recent issue of IWC and the DLC version is very pricey. It looks to be very well though out and has serious potential. Thanks for sharing.
