Nordgreen Philosopher Watch Review: Stylish Design at Affordable Price

Nordgreen is a Denmark-based watch company, which was founded in 2017 by Vasilij Brandt and Pascar Sivam. The idea behind creating the watch brand was to deliver true Scandinavian design and lifestyle to everyone. Their watches are inspired by traditional Scandinavian designs and stand true to their morals.

Danish designs are all about simplicity and quality. Nordgreen strives to hold on to those values, and they have done quite well since its inception. Nordgreen watches are becoming increasingly popular for their affordability, excellence, and simple design. Their catalog is quite extensive as well. They have sold over 10,000 watches designed by Scandinavian designer Jakob Wagner.

Here is a quick review of the Nordgreen Philosopher watch. We found this model especially attractive and stylish. It blends well with any attire and can be worn on any occasion too.

Nordgreen Philosopher (Rose Gold)

Nordgreen Philosopher comes in Gold, Silver, Gun Metal, and Rose Gold colors. We chose Rose Gold, the most trending metal choices these days. You can see rose gold in engagement rings, wedding bands, and even in electronic gadgets. As for the dial color, all the Nordgreen Philosopher models sport a white dial. However, the color of the dial ring markings and watch hands will change as per the color of the bezel.Nordgreen Philosopher Watch Review Full Grass

The minute and hour hands of the watch sport a baton design, which complement its minimalistic look. However, the second hand comes in a slightly darker color (grey in Nordgreen Philosopher Rose Gold). It features an asymmetric design, which makes it look like the second hand is slicing through time. There is a small date window in the watch as well, neatly located near the 03:00 o’clock mark.Philosopher Rose Gold Dial

The overall design of the Nordgreen Philosopher Rose Gold watch is very elegant. It is created to honor the Scandinavian principles, inspiring us to think differently and work for a better future. The Nordgreen logo and Copenhagen branding make the watch face more graceful.

Versatile Design

Nordgreen Philosopher comes in 40mm and 36mm case width. We prefer the 40mm type because it sits perfectly on the wrist of the wearer. You can see that the conical-shaped case features a wider base than the watch face. This is to create a crisp two-piece dial and draw all the focus to the center of the watch. The case is a bit elevated too, while the lugs are subtly tugged below to complete the design.Nordgreen Philosopher Watch Face

You can get many types of straps for Nordgreen Philosopher as well. They have options like mesh, leather, vegan leather, and nylon. However, Nordgreen Philosopher Rose Gold looks exceptionally impressive in rose gold mesh strap. There is a small quick-release pinhead in the lugs, which allows you to use any of the interchangeable straps easily. This makes it very easy to customize your Philosopher watch as per your styling preferences.

The mesh strap is well designed and features tiny gaps to give it a fuller look. It also ensures that your arm hair does not get stuck in the watch strap. As for the buckle, it looks more square-like rather than having the traditional rectangular shape. The crown, on the other hand, features a dented edge and looks stunning with the brand’s logo. It sticks out quite nicely from the dial to make it more noticeable.

Technical Specifications

Nordgreen Philosopher has a Japanese quartz movement. This makes it feel like the hand movement is slicing time on its way ahead. This falls ideally with the concept of designer Jakob Wagner, who wanted to create a classic timepiece. The Japanese quartz movement also works well as per the simplistic design of the watch. A complex movement would have seemed to overpower the design.Philosopher Rose Gold Back Dial
