When it comes to buying a product, you want to know that what you’re buying is worth your money. The Copenhagen based watch brand Nordgreen lists five reasons why you should buy one of their designer watches!
The Nordgreen Pioneer is the cornerstone of a new era. It’s affordable, world-class design to inspire the next generation. Its victory can inspire new, young designers to enter the Red Dot competition and redefine the rules. You don’t need millions to create world-class quality, or to win one of the world’s most prestigious design awards.
We chose five of our favorite winners, along with the Nordgreen Pioneer, to showcase the kind of quality that usually claims the Red Dot prize.
1. Nordgreen Pioneer - 2020 Winner - Price: £219
As winner of the 2020 award, the Pioneer comes in at just from just £219 a watch. If you’re going to invest in a watch, you should know that you’re getting a bang for your buck. Nordgreen’s Pioneer Chronograph goes above and beyond. You won’t have to sacrifice price or quality; it’s the best of both worlds.
Nordgreen’s take on the classic Chronograph design not only embodies the simplicity of Scandinavian style, but brings out the things that really matter. It has been carefully crafted by world-renowned designer, Jakob Wagner, to reflect what it means to be authentic. The Pioneer is minimal, elegant and incredibly functional.
The Pioneer’s design is modelled on Denmark’s status as one of the most sustainable cities in the world. Nordgreen are inviting you to join the movement and look towards a sustainable way of living, without breaking the bank. The £219 not only buys an award-winning watch, but helps Nordgreen build a greener future as part of the proceeds from each sale contributes to a sustainable cause. A green watch for a green way of thinking.
In addition to the Pioneer, Nordgreen’s new collection also features the remodelled ‘Native’ (£144), and the ‘Native Lille’ (£144), a smaller and more delicate version of the Native. Both are extremely customisable with colours and strap materials, all while representing Nordgreen’s movement to go back to the basics. Their timeless style promotes a timeless philosophy; less is more.
