Linde Werdelin 3-Timer Midnight Watch Review

"Every time the experts told us what to do, it just never worked out But every time we followed our instincts, even when it went against those industry traditions, it turned into a win for us." Such has been the ethos of Jorn Werdelin, co-founder of his eponymous watch brand Linde Werdelin, who, for a little over a decade has made a name for itself by simply not doing things the old-fashioned way The only real downside to those ears is that they tend to hide the small crown, making it difficult to grip and wind - which is sort of an oddity for what's otherwise a markedly tactile 200m water-resistant sports watch.

"Official specs for the 3-Timer suggest a 44mm by 46mm stainless steel case On-wrist, those proportions tend to change somewhat - the watch feels much longer than 46mm due to its broad shoulders, but much thinner than its 15mm thickness, likely due to the cuff-like combination of its subtly curved case and integrated strap While the bold visual DNA of the 3-Timer might be more of an acquired taste for some, it is objectively one of the best-fitting, and most comfortable watches my 65" wrist has seen in recent memory and is an absolute treat to wear.

It's not a heavy or large watch by most traditional measurements, but it's worth mentioning that it is visually large, and surprisingly assertive on the wrist despite its sleek profile Convinced that the watch industry's traditional brick-and-mortar formula was a zero-sum game, Linde Werdelin established itself as an outlier, and one of the early adopters of digital media and online retail as its primary means of communication and distribution for its product - no small measure of confidence for watches whose prices start at around $5,000 The GMT watch is enjoying something of a hot streak this year, thanks in part to arguably 2018's most sought-after release: the Rolex GMT Master II 'Pepsi' - a watch that's gotten so difficult to track down, we rounded up ten of its best alternatives.
