Linde Werdelin Announces Very First Ladies Watch – And She’s A Beauty!

It’s no secret that the luxury watch market is largely geared towards the male population, with many brands not even offering collections for women, or if they do, they are quite limited and often don’t seem to really embody the brand’s strengths like their male counterparts. Linde Werdelin looks set to buck this trend, however, with the announcement of their very first ladies watch, the gorgeous (and aptly named) The White Watch.

Staying True To The Brand
Linde Werdelin is one of our favourite up-and-coming brands to watch for a variety of reasons but especially because they have a strong, clear vision of how their timepieces should look and function, and they adhere to it religiously.

 As such, we would expect that the look and style of their very first ladies piece should not differ dramatically from the design cues of their core, male oriented, collection and happily for us (and we’re sure for female consumers world-wide too), it doesn’t.

Based on the highly popular 3-Timer model, the new White Watch reinforces LW’s commitment to quality and understated style whilst all the while providing the wearer with a highly practical tool. Even more importantly is the fact that, unlike so many other brands, LW hasn’t “dumbed it down” for their ladies collection, which is absolutely fantastic to see. This is a timepiece for an intelligent, active woman with discerning tastes which does not compromise on the brand’s core offering.

Be assured though that this didn’t just happen by accident, it was most certainly a conscious decision on the behalf of the brand’s founders, Morten Linde and Jorn Werdelin, who have worked incredibly hard to build a strong identity for their young company. To reinforce this point Linde, LW’s Creative Director, states simply that; “I am very pleased that our designs although male marketed are appealing to women as well. Maintaining the brand’s DNA is very important for LW and The White Watch is no exception.”

Although The White Watch takes its design cues from the 3-Timer, there have been some subtle changes to reflect its more feminine status. While the strap mechanism remains the same, the white calfskin chosen for the new model has a reduced width which allows the watch to sit well on slender wrists. With white as the dominating colour the dial and calfskin strap match the details in colour on the screws and 24-hour bezel markings.

Powered by an ETA 2893 automatic movement complete with GMT function, the stainless steel case is definitely on the large side for a woman’s watch at 46mm across but we don’t think this is a timepiece that will sit especially large on the wrist, and given the current trends this sizing is more than acceptable.

The White Watch is limited to just 51 pieces worldwide and will be soon available at LindeWerdelin.com and authorised retailers and will retail at €4,680. If you are keen on this piece though our advice would be to register your interest now as we don’t think they will have any trouble selling out this collection.

The Final Word
In our humble opinions the result of LW’s first foray into the women’s market is nothing short of stunning. Linde Werdelin has somehow achieved the seemingly impossible task of making a timepiece look tough and delicate at the same time, all whilst remaining true to their brand DNA. Certainly it won’t suit all tastes and there will be those who say it’s not feminine enough and the like, but we believe this timepiece reflects exactly the attributes of a female LW wearer.

Sexy, tough and just downright cool.
