The Founders

Founded in 2002 by Morten Linde and Jorn Werdelin, Linde Werdelin watches and attachable dive and ski instruments have redefined the world of highly crafted sports watches by bringing together the best of Swiss craftsmanship with Danish design ingenuity and avant-garde technology.

An unconventional designer and the creative source of Linde Werdelin, Linde has designed numerous iconic objects from the Copenhagen public park to audio systems; winning many industry-leading prizes and awards throughout his career. A functionalist, Linde strongly believes that “it's easy to make something look good, but that's not the point”. It is a lot harder to design a lasting object that will not age or become obsolete.

The visionary and driving force of Linde Werdelin. Werdelin's grandfather opened the first family jewellery and watch boutique in Aalborg, Denmark, selling luxury and technical watches. At 14, Werdelin sees a new high-end sports watch that will spark an ever-growing passion for watches. As an entrepreneur, Werdelin fuses the spirit of freeride skiing with business: pushing the boundaries by finding a way, not by taking uncalculated risks; revisiting the old to create and experience the new.
