Linde Werdelin creates modern day, industrial-looking timepieces with complex, angular situations that combine Danish design and Swiss craftsmanship. The new SpidoLite II updates the original's look and feel, adding a seconds subdial along with a date display that makes use of a laser-engraved ring that blends extremely nicely with the dial.
The SpidoLite II case measures 44mm x 46mm and consists of 32 components that form two primary structures: a cylindrical chamber that carries the movement and locks on the sapphire crystal caseback, as well as a skeletonized outer case that surrounds the inner chamber and acts as the attachment point for the strap.
The SpidoLite II case is designed on two diverse 5-axis machines. Set-up takes a full working day. Each case goes via the 5-axis CNC machines before it is hand finished and prepared for assembly.
The dial consists of two skeletonized layers. The lower component carries the Linde Werdelin logo whilst the upper portion bears the indexes and numerals of the seconds subdial. The laser-cut date disk offers a contemporary look and blends with the dial so well that it takes a second to find on very first examination. The blued steel hands supply a good counterpoint.
Linde Werdelin works using the independent Concepto movement manufacture that is owned by the Jaquet watchmaking family members. The SpidoLite II is powered by a caliber 2251, created by Valerien Jaquet and visible through the dial and caseback. The bridges have been modified to reveal the movement's inner workings and finished with a "black gold" treatment to match the rotor and color of case. The rest of the movement bears a satin microbille finish. The skeletonized rotor spins on ceramic bearings.
