Basel 2009 Report: Linde Werdelin

Basel 2009: Linde Werdelin by Marcus Hanke SpidoLite Of course, the most time of us watch show journalists is dedicated to the “usual suspects”; be it the famous independents, or the major watch manufacturers. Each media has its own main focus of interest...  

I like the idea of combining a mechanical watch with an external digital diving device

 
 By: AnthonyTsai : April 10th, 2009-17:29
even though I'll probably never ever use one of these in the future since I don't go diving. I checked out their website and they have a "Try It For Free" program on their steel Element watch where you can test the watch and diving instrument for 5 days a... 

Excellent case design

Marcus, Thank you for this report. I think the SpidoLite case design is the most interesting introduction since the Royal Oak Offshore. I hope one day a version will be released equipped with a mechanical chronograph. Park

really nice

Very nice report, much more understandable then their internet site. I'm actually contemplating ordering the speadolite. I agree that for once it is a rather succesfull design. Regards, George

Something out of a sci-fi movie...

The Skeletonized Spidolite is ultra-cool. I especially like the unique design of the connection between the case and strap in all the models. The parallel visible screws are a nice signature touch. Another great report and pictures. Thank you This message... 

Very cool.

Big fan of LW. The 3 Timer looks great.

Even without Svend Andersen........

PuristSPro management was intrigued by the hybrid conjoining of analogue and digital display. In fact, we asked the same question of Chopard LUC President K-F Schuefele, who did not rule out such hybrid displays from his products....."if there was an adva... 

The LW website is a bit lacking...

...in real information, but I do love their little superhero/secret agent cartoon drawings! LW seems to be a brand to watch. Cheers, Daos

For the urban adventurer Really just a GPS module, maybe with a pedometer function. Something for those of us "athletes" who never leave the city! A

Great report, Marcus!

The Spidolite is an attractive design, although I'd have to pass based on the legibility of the dial. I tend to need a bit more contrast and/or indicators on the dial in order to tell time (This is probably my own personal shortcoming!). Of the models pre... 

Great post Marcus.

Thanks, Marcus...

for the great report. Had checked out their website a few weeks back and was pleasantly surprised to see several models that i would not mind owning. Gotta love the Two Timer Red dial. And i think there probably is no trial period for the SpidoLite due to... 

Quick replies ....

ad 1) I assume the UV foil is just a gag, and changes the watch appearance nicely. But it has no real function. IN earlier years, it happened that the luminous mass on hands and dials became greyish, as a result of UV radiation. By using better clear bind... 

Thanks, Marcus! Bob nt
