The History of Skagen Designs In 1987, Henrik and Charlotte Jorst came to the United States from their native Denmark to follow a dream: that of owning and running their own business. Skagen Designs was founded by these two natives of Copenhagen on the principle that beautifully designed, high-quality objects can be created at reasonable prices. The Skagen Collection of watches reflects the Jorsts' creative Danish spirit with clean, elegant designs, skillful craftsmanship and technical perfection. When you purchase a piece from the Skagen Collection, you become part of an international community of Skagen owners who believe in a philosophy of design and manufacturing excellence. Skagen Trend Spotting In the market place, time never stands still and so our innovation never sits idle. Our design team is on the pulse of current fashions, with regular visits to design centers of the world including Denmark, Switzerland,Italy, France, New York and Hong Kong. We are never content to follow established trends. We stay true to our classic design philosophy and interpret trends accordingly. We observe, listen and innovate - all to create lasting design pieces. The Result The production of such lasting design pieces often demands special processes and tooling. These are often a challenge to create; however, we are never satisfied with "close enough". We continually push and fine-tune designs to stay true to our standards. We know what we want and are not satisfied until the design, material and workmanship are all just right. The result of such hard work and dedication speak for themselves in the jaw dropping enthusiasm and excitement created whenever anyone views our product line. Maintaining Your Skagen WatchEnsure that the crown is returned to the normal operating position before the watch comes in contact with water.Do not take your watch into a Hot Tub or Sauna. Under normal conditions, the seals in your Skagen watch will deteriorate and may need to be replaced every 2-3 years. Have your Skagen watch serviced by an official service center.All Skagen watches operate with standard batteries. When necessary, any jeweler can replace them for you. Different models are water resistant to varying degrees. Please refer to the back of your watch for the water resistant rating. How To Set The Time And Date Pull the crown out to the middle position. Rotate the crown to set date Pull the crown out to fully extended position and rotate crown to set desired time. Push the crown back to its normal position. The date and time are now set. Cleaning Your Skagen Watch Skagen suggests the following solutions for cleaning metal and crystal surfaces:3:1 solution of ammonia based window cleaner to water4:1 solution of rubbing alcohol to water.Do not use soap products. These suggested solutions will evaporate cleanly from metal and glass surfaces. Soap will leave residue behind when dry. To clean the case and crystal: Moisten a soft cloth with one of the above solutions. Gently wipe the case and crystal clean. Be careful not to put too much stress on the crystal as you clean. *NEVER immerse or soak the case/crystal portion of the watch, regardless of water resistance rating. Moisture could seep past the seals over time.To clean the band or strap: Skagen soft mesh bands are easily adjustable. Simply insert a small screwdriver or similar tool into the clasp. Lift up the clasp without applying pressure to the thin pin across the clasp and move to desired position. Snap closed securely. Make sure the clasp is set in one of the indentations on the back of the band. Link bands are completely adjustable anywhere watches are serviced. Skagen suggests the following practices for cleaning metal, rubber and leather surfaces: Metal watchbands Dip a cotton swab in the above solution, and gently rub it into the soiled portion of the band. For more intricate mesh bands, you may want to use a soft bristle toothbrush or nailbrush. Be sure to cover the case of the watch during this process so as not to soak it. For stubborn soil, you may want to bring it to a jeweler for a professional cleaning.Rubber watchstraps Simply wipe them down with a damp, soft cloth. Avoid soaps and solvents as they may dry or crack the plastic.Leather watchstraps: Top Grain Top grain leather can be characterized by its smooth, somewhat shiny appearance. To clean this type of leather, follow the same procedure as with the rubber watchband. Simply wipe it clean with a damp cloth, using water only. You may want to use leather conditioner or a small amount of hand lotion to keep the leather supple over time. Top grain leather may develop a milky "haze" if left alone for extended periods. This can simply be wiped away or removed with leather conditioner.Leather watchstraps: Nubuck This is essentially full grain leather with the top layer shaved off, leaving a flat, smooth finish. A product called a "nubuck eraser" can be found at better shoe repair shops. It will help to remove most light stains and debris from nubuck. If you're going to invest in a timepiece, consider a signature mesh style from Skagen' s Klassik collection. Stunning gold-tone encircles a stark white, minimalist dial for a simple yet striking look. BEHIND THE DESIGN: The epitome of Danish-inspired style-Klassik offers a stunning design that's perfect for any day and any occasion.

Lovely!
This watch is simple, yet it makes a statement. The face of the watch is not too big; I have a small wrist and it compliments it just well. The straps are easy to adjust - just follow the diagramed instructions. The design is versatile: perfect for both business and casual purposes.No complaints. Happy customer.

Beautiful Elegant Watch
I gave this 5 stars because the design and quality are beautiful. Unfortunately I had to return it as it was just too large for my wrist. The band is also long and I think there is a way to shorten it, but I didn't look into it.

Elegant and sleek
Beautiful watch, elegant and sleek. I have it only 4 stars because it is clumsy & difficult to adjust the size of the band and the instructions are written in mini mouse print, so small they were even difficult to read with a big magnifying glass

I love the larger face and clean lines on this
I love the larger face and clean lines on this watch. I also like that it can be worn with gold or silver jewelry. It is comfortable yet stylish. The adjustment on band can be a little tricky. I viewed a you tube video first on how to adjust mesh bands. It suggested using a small screwdriver to lift clasp which worked like a charm.

not waterproof
I have purchased three different Skagen watches and all three have been damaged by light swimming. This one was the worst

Chic and sleek
I love how thin and sleek this watch is. I’ve only had it a few days so I’m not sure about the water resistance. Overall, chic understated gold and silver watch. Just what I wanted.

Un reloj elegante a un precio magnífico
Es un reloj clásico, elegante y de una calidad excelente. Llegó a tiempo y su precio, comparado con lo que se paga por esta marca en el comercio tradicional, es muy atractivo.

Unlike me ..Strikingly Attractive and well adjusted
Bought as a part of a Christmas hamper of gifts for my wife.Impressive presentation box and smart interior.The watch is very attractive and looks expensive ...especially whilst being worn ....Very easy to adjust bracelet ...... The font in the book of printed instructions however was too small to read.... But I was able to do it anyway....The watch face is perfectly simple but is strikingly attractive and easily read.Overall....A great purchase and superb value for money.Highly recommended

5 Sterne sind zu wenig
Der Versand erfolgte schnell, war sicher verpackt in einer geschmackvollen Geschenkbox. Die Uhr ist schön flach. In den Farben gold/silber/weiß passt sie zu jedem Outfit und wirklich zu jedem Schmuck. Das ist für Frau ja auch sehr wichtig! Sportliche Eleganz gepaart mit durchdachter Technik. Das Armband ist glatt, man bleibt nirgendwo hängen wie es sonst häufig bei Milanese Armbändern der Fall ist. Es lässt sich stufenlos in der Länge verstellen , ohne Werkzeug oder der Hilfe eines Fachgeschäftes. Der Verschluss ist 2fach gesichert. Ich habe die Uhr seit ca. 3 Wochen, sie läuft seit dieser Zeit sekundengenau. Das Ziffernblatt ist ca. 3 cm groß, die Uhrzeit lässt sich sehr gut ablesen. Tja, was könnte ich noch schreiben? Ich finde diese Uhr traumhaft schön! Habe keinerlei Mängel gefunden und kann sie nur wärmstens weiterempfehlen.

The boy done good
Bought as a birthday present for my wife. She wanted something that would look good in a professional and social situation and this really fits the bill. The combination of gold and silver makes it easy to dress up or down (this week alone I've seen her wear it with a evening dress for a christmas do, skirt and jumper for work and jeans and a sweater around the house) and it looks good in all occasions. Like most SKAGEN it might prove a little difficult to read for those with a visual impairment but with her contacts in she doesn't struggle.
