Nordgreen Philosopher Scandinavian Gun Metal Watch with Interchangeable Straps

Product Information

There is an extended cut of the film running about 159 minutes vs the theatrical version runs 152 minutes. It was first shown on TV networks (ABC in the US, several international broadcasts had the same extended showing) in 2004. The 2009 Ultimate Edition DVD/Blu-ray release includes this cut as well. The watch’s design is eye-catching and was awarded the Red Dot design award in 2021, which is a great accomplishment for a relatively new brand. Nordgreen has a great selection of straps, and I chose the 3-link gun metal band to give the watch a more classy, elegant look. I also got the Navy Blue Nylon band, which looks a bit sportier. With these two bands, I can wear my Philosopher for any occasion. The 3-Link Strap

For starters, we keep the pink face Philosopher married to the silver stainless steel alone. This colour pairing brings out the beauty too well, so why not go with what works? Ron and Harry land themselves in hot water after they crash the car into the Whomping Willow, a huge tree outside Hogwarts. When caretaker Mr Filch’s cat is found petrified alongside the message “the chamber of secrets has been opened, enemies of the heir… beware” written in blood, Harry Ron and Hermione decide to put a stop to the Heir of Slytherin’s plan. Scandinavian simplicity emanates from the box to the Philosopher’s watch. The bold, white watch box matches the watch face palette and logo. The wrapping for additional leather straps that easily interchange, also fitting together for that same timeless look. It works beautifully and holds true of the Danish natives’ love for understated design.Below, we’ve listed all of the Harry Potter movies – including the Fantastic Beasts spinoffs – and where you can watch them, whether it’s streaming, VOD, or on physical media. While the Pioneer and Native both had domed sapphire crystals (top-end for their price point) there’s no information about the crystal in the Philosopher. The watch was delivered within two days via UPS express delivery service. It arrived in a standard-looking cardboard box; however, upon closer inspection, the Nordgreen logo was visible on the top, and a message on the inner side of the cover noted that the box was made from FSC-certified paper, which originates from responsibly managed forests. If you want a watch that’s absolutely minimalist, I recommend the Native over the Philosopher—the design is so sparse, but has additions like a domed sapphire crystal that speak to the quality. Nordgreen is a brand with a global mindset and a global conscience. For a minimalistic watch, it sure does send a big message.

The Nordgreen Philosopher is an elegant, minimalistic watch with some interesting details. But does it possess the same level of quality as more established brands? The Brand The Nordgreen Philosopher acts as an instrument of time. We reach out for moments that we want to take with us beyond our lifetime. We reach out for moments that we don’t want to stop, the Philosopher built with the notion of timelessness in mind. This is an industrial design polished to the highest standards that infuses sharp contours with soft, rounded curvature for a pleasant timepiece experience to look at and wear. If your tired of scrolling through a sea of noise then it might be worth considering something different, Nordgreen have successfully made a great watch here, no complications, no fuss, just simple design with great quality parts and finish. While the instructions explain how to change the strap, I prefer video tutorials and Nordgreen has many to help answer all the how-tos for changing the different features of their watches.

Final Thoughts On My Nordgreen Philosopher Watch Review

The smooth organic form of the casing matched with the direct and subtle dial give the watch a sense of practicality with no fuss or loud colors. The hands are basic in form but well finished and interesting enough to read easily. The fit and finish throughout make the watch very comfortable to wear, it is both smooth and light and so does not cause any undue strain on the wrist ( unlike some heavy divers ). Overall the watch is a joy to use, its understated nature is a calm and refreshing change to a busy and hectic world, a quiet companion that is reliable and well made. If you’re wanting to complete the world of witchcraft and wizardry, it’ll take 27.5 hours – so, grab your wand and Marauder’s Map. The trio witness Voldemort explaining to Snape why he cannot use the Elder Wand until Snape is dead. Nagini fatally injures Snape, who tells Harry to take his tears to the Pensieve before dying. When Harry reads the memories held within, Harry learns that Snape was protecting Harry as he loved his mother, Lily. Be sure to not be anywhere that the pin could fly and drop somewhere to never be seen again. The spring is strong so it may pop out and fly a short distance. I changed mine on a desk so no big deal, but I noticed that it could be super unfortunate if one popped into the sink.
