Linde Werdelin SpidoSpeed Anthracite DLC

Linde Werdelin, a young watchmaking brand of Scandinavian origin that builds and assembles their wristwatches in Switzerland, has just sent us a press release presenting their new take on their relatively fresh SpidoSpeed series of skeletonized chronographs.

Called Linde Werdelin SpidoSpeed Anthracite DLC, the new (or rather “refreshed”) chronograph comes with the same scratch-resistant DLC treatment that now features a new shade of, um, black. Shouldn’t they have introduced a whole new collection of DLC-treated watches and called them something like, err, Fifty Shades of Black?

Your First Swiss-Made: Certina DS1 “Double Security”

Even though Certina DS1 “Double Security” (ref. C006.407.16.088.00) offers a pretty generic design, it is a nice entry-level model for those high-school graduates still dreaming about their first dress watch with the legendary “Swiss Made” inscription on the dial, which is said to be adding at least +10 to mating abilities and +25 to personal charisma.
