When it comes to watches, I personally believe that less is more and that simple, stylish elegance is the way to go. Of course some people love a face covered in dials and watches that have a dozen different functions, but really all I want from my watch is to tell the time reliably at a glance, and of course look nice.
Nordgreen are a Copenhagen-based watchmakers who make exquisitely styled, minimalist ladies’ and men’s watches
Which Nordgreen ladies watch should choose?
Nordgreen have several different styles of watches for women. Here is a little bit about them;
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’s womens rose gold watches are the perfect look for summer and the rose gold Native Lille 32mm watch is delicate and dainty and will go with almost any outfit.
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
When purchasing a Nordgreen ladies’ watch, you get a choice of straps; nylon, metal mesh or leather which comes in three finishes. There are 19 colour combinations in total so you can select your look; in total there are over 100 different watch options to choose from.
Fortunately you don’t have to stick to one choice, and can mix up your style easily as changing the watch strap on a Nordgreen ladies’ watch is really simple.
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.
