Independent watchmakers are some of the watch worldβs best-kept secrets, though they have been attracting a growing following in recent years. Itβs the case of Linde Werdelin, a Danish-Swiss brand that was born out of the desire to experiment with creative approaches in watchmaking. Following a life-threatening incident while skiing, one of the founders embarked on a mission to create the only watch he needed and wanted to wear, one built entirely on his own terms. This ambition laid the foundation for Linde Werdelin, which established itself as a maker of luxury sports watches that are modern by design, intelligent by materials, and complex in construction.
