Very impressive.

Mr. Linde is the same age as I am I have been hearing that those Scandinavian people treasures furniture and inside the house because it tends to be too cold to go outside, thus the time spent inside is pretty long. And I can understand why the design peo... 

Indeed that could be a good reason

Ken, You may have a good point about staying indoors in Scandinavia and the importance of inside design. Regards, MTF

Thanks MTF.

If you are into design and the story

 
 By: MTF : May 29th, 2011-05:39
behind the design, then dear 'playtime' you should play with a Linde Werdelin watch or instrument. There is no immeiate pressure to buy an insrument (Rock or Reef) as there is always compatability backwards and forwards in time. Remember, they are refinin... 

Thank You MTF

very good interview.Good to know the connection to my B&O sound system.Cheers, Dreamer

dreamer8, Morten LInde did NOTvclaim to have designed the Bosound 9000 or Beosound Centenary hi-fi systems. He was always working under te lead designer at B&O. But, there is a design element across Morten Linde's work. Regards, \MTF

Interesting discussion

 
 By: dxboon : May 28th, 2011-07:19
First, thanks to Morten Linde for the great insights into the company and his design philosophy. I like the "story" aspect of his design process. It makes the evolution of his products feel quite organic. It's interesting that when looking at some of the ... 

Thank you.

Beosound "Centenary"? Did you mean "century"?

 
 By: RJW : May 29th, 2011-06:06
The Century was my first B&O system. Using the Beosound 3200 currently. Thanks for the interview. Regards, Richard.

You are right

 
 By: MTF : May 29th, 2011-06:13
I checked and my machine is the Beosound Century. I'm going to have to go back to Mr Linde and tell him that his own resume is "wrong"! Regards, MTF

Thanks a lot Melvin for the post and the interview.

It is always interesting to understand the ideas which lead to the creation process. Fx

Win some Loose sum

 
 By: MTF : May 29th, 2011-05:58
Dear foversta, Indeed, some design details are good and some need improving....usually the chronograph display bit. "Win some....Loose sum" (not a spelling mistake) Overall, LW designs are cool. Regards, MTF

Thanks for the interview MTF

 
 By: AnthonyTsai : May 28th, 2011-11:58
It's always interesting to hear the thoughts of the designers, and can't wait to read the rest of your interview! Even the numbering of the watches have been thought out and have meaning. Cheers, Anthony

We had a PuristSPro contest

 
 By: MTF : May 29th, 2011-06:00
in the past for the best reasons people could think up or the LW editon totals. Nobody came near but some contestants had even more fantastic stories. Regards, MTF

In August 2010, in fact...

Can't wait to see who eventually wins... Cheers, pplater.

May I quote from Professor Henry Jones ...

as he watched his son Indiana reach for the Holy Grail with the temple crumbling around them ... Indiana ... Let it go ......

In turn, to quote Jason Nesmith...
