Overview The Founders The Idea Craftsmanship The Graphic Novel

Craftsmanship

For Linde Werdelin the combination and balancing between design and craftsmanship is the ingredient for a lasting and beautiful timepiece and instrument. Working on such a small surface and carving the case metal into perfectly cut facets requires a highly meticulous and experienced craftsman.

Equally, the launch of the Spido, and now the Oktopus II models is the fruit of several years of research and development until a robust and architecturally complex frame could take form and be transformed into a 3-dimensional piece.

Craftsmanship is evident not only on the outside but also inside the Linde Werdelin watches. Each piece crafted is powered by a custom-made movement that suits the inspiration of the watch. Linde Werdelin is working with independent watch-makers to craft precision mechanisms that give life to each of the timepiece creations.
