It isn't particularly easy to create

Linde Werdelin releases a bejeweled watch for men. I first noticed it on the arm of Jorn Werdelin as of this year's Baselworld watch show. They often times play with designs as an experiment to see what might make the next cool limited edition piece. I was not sure if this became one of those experiments. A lot of the time, brand owners and CEOs like to produce exclusive pieces earmarked just for them. A wrist watch with black diamonds and a mother-of-pearl switch is precisely the type of thing that Jorn might produce one among for himself to wear. We now learn that Linde Werdelin will produce 50 of them.

The watch is the Linde Werdelin SpidoSpeed Black Diamond watch. It is based on the original Linde Werdelin SpidoSpeed Chronograph the we fully reviewed here. The SpidoSpeed Chronograph is the brand's first ever chronograph watch. It is based on the Spidolite collection and was quite cool when it was first debuted. Now it gets a bit decked out with diamonds. For their chronograph watch, Linde Werdelin chose a Concepto good quality 2251 automatic chronograph movement with a custom rotor.

If you noticed, my hands-on images of the SpidoSpeed Black Diamond differ a little bit from the final version. Two differences I can spot are the color of the brand logo as well as the hour and minute hands. For the final version, the logo gets a dark application and the hour and minute hands are in blued steel. All of those other hands retain that matte finished dreary tone. I really do agree with the changes and think that the blued hands go quite nicely with the black diamonds and mother-of-pearl switch.

It isn't particularly easy to create a men's jewelry watch that western guys wear. Black diamonds are an alternative way to make a piece look less womanly. However, not everyone appreciates black diamonds the same way. Why? Well they don't have the same luxury cache as white diamonds, and they are also not clearly diamonds. You can get the same effect from black sapphires for example. Nevertheless, men's jewelry wear from makers such as Shambala have proven that black diamonds certainly have a place in "men's luxury. inch

The SpidoSpeed Black Diamond contains twenty four black diamonds on the bezel and a single black diamond on the chronograph hour register. The facts doing there? There used to be a letter "R" in that place which endured for "Rock" or "Reef" which are Linde Werdelin's computerized wearable instruments for land query or diving. The "R" being placed at four and a half hours indicates how long it takes those gadgets to completely charge the battery when blocked in. And now you have a diamond to remind you.
