Linde Werdelin must be working overtime in preparation for BaselWorld as they have announced a new edition of the Oktopus II, called the Moon. Three years ago, LW launched the Oktopus Moonphase and these new models build upon the same platform but will be limited to just 59 units. Why 59? Two different variations of…
It’s hardly a stretch to say the pre-owned watch market is a weird, mythical place in the eyes of most watch companies. They are sort of aware it’s out there, but they also seemingly have no interest / courage / idea (choose one… or three) on how to address it. There are a number of good reasons…
For months now I found myself putting the Linde Werdelin Oktopus II Titanium Yellow Double Date watch on my wrist more times than I would have first anticipated. With its avocado green strap and bold sporty looks, I always liked the watch but guessed that it would settle in to be more of a ‘once-in-a-while’…
Linde Werdelin has announced three new entries into the SpidoLite II family of limited edition sport watches. The new SpidoLite II Titanium releases include Red, Blue or Black Gold versions which offer you a choice of either bright colors or a modern take on the two-tone aesthetic. The SpidoLite series, like the SpidoSpeed, exhibit many…
This brand new piece requires a new movement and Linde Werdelin have included their manufacture LW08 that presents all three complications.

I believe every watch collector goes through phases in their appreciation for this expensive and sometimes futile hobby. After the first initiation phase, perhaps after acquiring the first serious timepiece, typically a Rolex or an Omega, or one from the other major mainstream brands, there is a phase of discovery where one will want to…
The Oktopus is Linde Werdelin’s line of dive watches, and having had the pleasure of owning an yellow Oktopus II watch, I was pretty excited about reviewing their new Linde Werdelin Oktopus BluMoon. For some background, this independent Danish watch brand makes contemporary avant-garde sports watches, but also dabbles in much more. Besides experimenting with high tech modern materials such as…
Linde Werdelin is a brand that’s nothing if not voracious in its need to creatively modify their already visually compelling pieces. Their latest, the Linde Werdelin Oktopus Moon Replica Oktopus Moon Gold 3DTP Carbon watch uses a carbon bezel to “update” their previous Oktopus II Moon Watch (hands-on here) which came in a titanium and gold version. The…
Linde Werdelin has announced two new limited edition models for their SpidoLite II series of luxury sport watches. The new LW SpidoLite II Tech features two variations of a watch that takes the recognizable SpidoLite II platform and moves it into the next generation as far as case construction and materials are concerned. The SpidoLite…
Announced on the eve of Baselworld 2015, Linde Werdelin Spidolite Skeleton 18k Rose Gold Replica has dropped a duo of Spidolite models that feature a new movement and updated dial designs. Officially launching the 4th generation of the Linde Werdelin Spidolite series, these limited edition pieces will be available later this month in either titanium…
