If you’re still on the lookout for the perfect Christmas gift this year for a man or a woman, a beautiful and stylish watch from Nordgreen might be just the thing.
Nordgreen are a Copenhagen-based watchmakers who make exquisitely styled, minimalist ladies’ and men’s watches. I have a few now and they are right up my street; simple, minimalist design with easy-to-read watch faces.
Which Nordgreen ladies’ watch should I choose as a gift?
Nordgreen have several different styles of watches for women. All Nordgreen timepieces have quartz movement watch, so their time keeping is spot on and every watch comes with a two year warranty.
Here is a little bit about the Ladies’ range;
The new Nordgreen Unika watch
The newest addition to the Nordgreen Ladies’ watch collection is the one I chose; the Unika.
The Nordgreen Unika is an elegant timepiece which comes with a black or white clean face available in two sizes.
The strap attaches to the metal fastening in a way that makes it look like the domed watch face floats between the interchangeable straps, which can be selected to complement any outfit or mood.
Nordgreen Native watch
The Native watch is a flat-faced watch with a simple design.
The face of the Native watch is available in blue, black, and white and you can choose one of four case colours – silver, rose gold, gun metal, and gold.
There are three sizes – 40mm, 36mm, and the Native Lille which is designed for daintier wrists at with a 32mm face. It has a variety of metal mesh and leather straps in different colours.
Nordgreen Infinity watch
Unlike the Nordgreen ‘Native’ watch, the Infinity has an elegant slightly curved dial which is available in white only.
This particular model is available in rose gold, gold or silver, and the watch face comes in two sizes; 32mm or 40mm.
Nordgreen Philosopher watch
The Philosopher ladies watch has a unique sharp two piece dial, available only in clean white. It features the date as well as the time, so if that’s a feature that you need then it’s the watch for you.
The casing is available in gun metal, rose gold, gold and silver and of course there is the usual selection of straps in mesh, metal, vegan leather, leather and nylon.
Changing the straps on your Nordgreen ladies’ watch
When purchasing a Nordgreen ladies’ watch, you get a choice of straps; nylon, metal mesh or leather which comes in three finishes and loads of colour combinations. Currently there is an offer on which gives you 20% off when purchasing a bundle of one or two extra straps which added to the 15% discount below means you get an absolute bargain.
Changing the watch strap on a Nordgreen ladies’ watch is very easy.
There’s a small lever to pull down, the spring bar goes inside of the strap and out the strap pops.
To place the new strap on, place the left part of the spring pin into the hole and then use your fingernail or a paper clip to pull down on the level, and push the strap down into place.
If you love changing your look then you can buy easily interchangeable watch straps here; they cost between £19 and £39 (however you currently get 20% off when you buy a bundle of a watch and one or more straps).
