Nordgreen's bestselling men's watches come with a subtle, typically understated Scandinavian design striking in its beauty. We give credence to the Danish philosophy of balance, contentment, happiness – hygge – and this philosophy lives in all our watches.
We believe in simplicity and balance and in eliminating any complexity typical of modern life. We believe in offering you an opportunity to enjoy a watch that effortlessly matches your style for less. We believe in humanity and in changing this planet for the better, one watch at a time. And we believe in sustainability and in the beauty of giving back to society and the environment.
Our designer Jakob Wagner and co-founders Pascar Sivam and Vasilij Brandt drew inspiration from the Scandinavian lifestyle we live every single day in Copenhagen and wanted to wrap that beauty, efficiency, design, simplicity, and sustainability in a watch.
Nordgreen bestselling and limited edition watches apply Danish values to their design, striking a balance between functionality and minimalism. We focus on men who value the environment and who care for society and its wellbeing.
Our goal is to bring together a powerful consumer-driven movement with a desire to care for the environment and give back to society through affordable, meticulous, and outstanding watch designs.
With every pound you spend at Nordgreen, we empower you to contribute to one of three noble causes worldwide through our Giving Back Programme at extra cost to you. Not a single other watch brand we know does that.
There's no doubt Scandinavian and Danish design have had a massive influence on lifestyle brands in recent years, including our brand. We embrace these very same aspects when making our bestselling and limited edition watches.
Designer Jakob Wagner heads the brand and steers us on a course of simplicity, function, and beauty. He not only focuses on the look of the watch but also on the interaction between the user and the watch. Our watches not only look good on you, but they also work with you and fit into your lifestyle effortlessly.
Nordgreen's watches showcase the perfect design to ensure the ultimate style and comfort. You can wear these watches regardless of the event you're attending or what you're wearing.
Choosing to invest in a Nordgreen watch means choosing to actively take part in giving back to society and improve the Earth's green cover.

However, the Pioneer can be a good sports watch alternative, especially paired with a durable black rubber strap. The stopwatch function is perfect for measuring time.
Watch Movement Types
There are 3 main watch movement types - the automatic movement (also known as the self-winding movement), the mechanical movement, and the quartz movement, which we use for our collection.
Automatic movement watches have no internal batteries and get their energy from your body's movement. This means that an automatic watch needs to be worn continuously to provide enough energy to power the automatic watch.
Contrary to an automatic watch, a mechanical movement uses a clockwork mechanism to power itself. They are not as accurate as watches with other movements, resulting in a drop in their popularity. Watch brands only produce them as a luxury watch for collectors.
