LINDE WERDELIN

Designed by co-founder Morten Linde, the angular case of a Linde Werdelin timepiece is influenced by functionality and modernism and Morten’s design DNA is evident through every collection.

All Linde Werdelin pieces, although they might look very different from one another, have the same case size 44mm (w) by 46mm (l) by 15mm (h), which was originally intended to fit our digital instruments, the Rock and the Reef, for skiing and diving respectively.

Each collection is therefore instantly recognizable as a Linde Werdelin, from the classic 3-timers to the wild wearable art of the Oktopus Volcano, Deep Sea and Universe. Design features include the turning bezel and a modern, faceted case that makes Linde Werdelin one of the most recognisable watch shapes on the market today.

In the middle of the Swiss Jura, where the highest levels of watchmaking and craftsmanship take place, Linde Werdelin has a 20 year history working closely with the finest independent artisans and watchmakers to craft precision mechanisms that give life to our timepieces. Individually handcrafted with the utmost care and attention to detail, the entire collection is offered in limited and numbered series of no more than 100 pieces for each design.

More than 2 years of research and development went into perfecting the challenging technique of compressing micro carbon fibres into shape for the Oktopus. It then requires another lengthy handcrafting process to arrive at a sculpted watch case. Working on such a small surface and carving the case metal into perfectly cut facets requires a highly meticulous and experienced craftsman.
