The wristwatch that many now see as an essential accessory has an interesting history. The design first surfaced in the late 1800s. Back then, it was more of a woman’s accessory. It was only during the first World War that this changed.

Soldiers found their pocket watches unwieldy and inconvenient. They fashioned their own version of a wristwatch. After the war, the style stayed, and so these timepieces became more popular. Today, they’re even more popular and have evolved to the status of an essential accessory.

You’d think that the technological advances made over the last few years would make a timepiece obsolete. And, technically, you’d be right. We can check the time on many different electronic devices now.

Setting reminders on your smartphone makes it easy to be punctual. So, why then are timepieces still in such demand? There are many reasons for this:

Convenience: Glancing at your wrist for the time is a lot easier than pulling out your smartphone. That’s especially true if you want to be discreet about checking the time.
Helps with productivity: Some of us are disciplined with our phones. Some of us aren’t. Checking your phone for time could lead you to review other messages. You might end up wasting valuable time with this distraction.
Battery power: A smartphone is great, but its battery life is not. A watch battery, on the other hand, will last two years or more. You don’t have to risk missing an appointment if your phone runs out of power.
It’s not just about telling the time: Your timepiece makes a statement about your personality. Do you value fine craftsmanship? Do you want to convey confidence or that you have a lot of money? Your chronograph gives these subtle hints to people around you.
It’s an accessory that is always acceptable: If you work in a conservative office environment, you don’t have many choices when it comes to accessories. A great watch is one accessory that is always allowed.
It could be an heirloom: Choose a high-quality option, and you’ll have a present for your son when he graduates. Or starts a new job, or to celebrate any occasion.
It’s an excellent gift idea: Not sure what to get that special man in your life? You can’t go wrong with watches. Stick to simple lines, and you’ll have a gift that the recipient will treasure for ages.

How Much Should You Spend?

A designer Swiss-made watch can set you back thousands of pounds. Are they worth it, though? That’s something that only you can decide. The advantage of those luxury brands is that the quality is high. Unfortunately, the mark up is high too.

With Nordgreen, you don’t have to choose between quality and affordability. We’ve kept our designs and lines simple to keep our overheads lower. That’s why we can sell men's watches under 200 pounds and men’s watches under 300.

Our Selection of Men’s Watches

Our men’s range consists of four models in total. We believe wholeheartedly in the spirit of hygge – the idea that simplification helps us to be more mindful in the present. And our models embrace this principle fully.

That’s not to say that there are fewer options, though. We allow customisations on each order. That means that you can change out most of the design aspects. Here’s what you can change:

Select a different dial colour: Choose a black, navy, or white face on most models. The only exception being the Philosopher.
Changing the strap: A different strap can change the look altogether. Choose stainless steel mesh or links, nylon, rubber, leather, or vegan leather.
Make the case a different colour: Our cases are all stainless steel – choose between a gold, rose gold, silver, or gunmetal grey case.
The dial size: All of our models come in different dial sizes except for the Pioneer.

Don’t worry about memorising all of those options; you’ll see them listed when you place your order.

Our Four Major Designs

The Pioneer

This is a chronograph for the man serious about time. Unlike the typical chronograph, this model has been simplified. Instead of a range of useless features that you’ll never use, we’ve kept things minimal.

There are two dials and the date on the display. You can count off the seconds or use the stop-watch feature.

This is a masculine model that makes a real impact. It’s also the model with the largest dial size.

Dial Sizes

You’re looking at 42mm of design excellence.
