Test a Linde Werdelin

Linde Werdelin offers a unique opportunity for potential customers. You can test one a watch for 5 days and decide if you like it. I’ve never heard of any other brand offering such an opportunity.

The first time i saw a Linde Werdelin in the metal was during Baselworld 2009. I immediately fell in love with the SpidoLite, Linde Werdelin’s top model. Since Baselworld we stayed in touch and as a result they borrowed me the 3-Timer for my Chronicle about the perfect vacation watch on Worldtempus.com.

In my Chronicle i came to the conclusion a perfect vacation watch does exist. The combination of a rugged, waterproof watch with GMT function and the Land or Sea Instruments Linde Werdelin offers fulfill all particle desires. So when i told them my next vacation is backpacking in India for almost 4 weeks, they immediately asked me which watch i was going to wear….

The truth is i don’t have a watch with multiple timezones or a GMT function, which is in my opinion one of the essentials for a good vacation watch. At least, if you plan your vacation on the other side of the world. Linde Werdelin suggested i put my conclusion to the test and offered a 2-Timer for the duration of my vacation!

The photo above of a Linde Werdelin 2-Timer was shot during a Watches & Espresso meeting earlier this year and could well be the first Linde Werdelin in the Netherlands.

Now back to the ideal vacation watch. For me a second time zone or GMT hand is a necessity for a vacation watch. And since i’m not the person to spent a vacation in a luxury hotel, my vacation watch must be able to deal all aspects i might encounter. Almost four weeks backpacking in India means getting aquatinted with the Indian public transport (trains and busses), hiking, driving around on an old Enfield Bullit i plan to rent and probably some diving as well.

Linde Werdelin was still not shocked when i told them more about my vacation plans! I’m really looking forward to my trip of course, but i’m also very much looking forward to testing the 2-Timer. When i’m back i will write a long review about the hardships the 2-Timer had to endure 🙂

Linde Werdelin offers (almost) the same for any potential customer. The test period is limited to 5 days. This way you can really get an idea of the watch, how it feels on your wrist and how it looks. Isn’t that amazing? I have never heard of any other watch brand offering this kind of customer service.
