Some questions for Martin
Hi Martin,
I see that you are the product manager of LW. Is it possible for you to answer some questions? If yes, these questions are:
1. what's the story behind the NOS movement modified by Andersen? Is it an old ETA movement? How durable and dependable is it and why?
2. what has been done as action on Melvyn's remark about "rough burrs and manufacturing marks still present". See the editor's note at the bottom of the Basel 2010 report on Linde Werdelin.
3. can you describe the quality control process of LW for the SpidoLite?
Thank you in advance for any extra information that helps me in deciding on choosing my next watch.
LW: LINDE WERDELIN Novelties in Singapore
13 May, 2010 - E'COLLEZIONE, a new retailer in Singapore ( located in Mandarin Gallery), celebrated the launch of LINDE WERDELIN with the presence of the one of the founders of LINDE WERDELIN, Mr Jorn Werdelin. Guests and some press members arrived on tim...
Thanks for sharing.
I think they are doing a great job. The Spidolite SA All Black is my favorite by far, love those blue hands. Thanks. Vte
Yep, the SpidoLite ...
is the model I like too. Adding the work of Svend Anderson in , is a smart move. The cool thin is, people really trust and dive with the watch, seen a couple during that evening. Kong
Thank you for the report
Singapore, we can feel LW timepieces in real now ! Thank you Mr Jeffrey Leong of E'COLLEZIONE. Love to check out very soon.
Check it out and let us know your ...
inputs and observations, as it seems that you like Sports and Action Watch Kong
Thanks for the report Kong!
And nice to finally see live pics of the Oktopus Tattoo. Did Mr. Jorn Werdelin say how the concept of the Oktopus Tattoo started? Are the LW founders themselves fans of tattoos? Cheers, Anthony
Listed the questions too but got ...
distracted, and missed out asking. We should ask Jorn. He is diving this weekend, will be cool to have some pics of the Founder testing his watches Kong
Pencil wrists? LOL!
Yup, my wrists are indeed small unfortunately. Great coverage Kong and for my 0.1 cents worth, for the Asian market, I think it'd be worth LW's while to introduce more of their bracelets as given the "curvature" of the bracelet at the lugs, it allows thei...
Alright! You gave yourself up :-)
Good observations. Bracelet goes well with most in the tropics, but it would not go well with greyish matt Ti SpidoLite. The Ti bracelet may not be costly, if I show you one of my sports-watch So, thinking about one? Kong
Davo, thanks...could you share more pics ...
of your Dark Angel Love the pic you took it together with your AP. Kong

Superb pics!
Hi Davo Thanks for the additional stunning monochromatic pics! I like the way your lighting on the Okto DLC Black. How do you like the Okto so far? Kong
Thanks Drew ...
The LW should look cool with your arm-scan (with that Bicep) Do you dive? Kong
Great report great Pictures
Looks like there is a lot of promise with Linde Werdelin. Looking forward to hearing and seeing more. Bill
Response seems to be good over here ...
seen a few wearing that evening. One of owner, a serious diver, was discussing with the Jorn on field observations and probable improvement. Perhaps you may like to check out the Oktopus Moonphase Kong
A serious contender as a Mountaineering Watch!
I will admit to not being very familiar with Linde Werdelin but have been inspired by recent comments and posts like this one. I did some investigating and now am really impressed. The One model wrist watch with The Rock add-on altimeter instrument really...
Another to the your 'short' list :-) ...
it seems like the company executives are all sports people... to be transported fast, click the banner on your right now Let us know which you've decided and it will be exciting to see pics of the trip. Kong
Hey there!
Hi Kong, Looks like a cool event! The watches are certainly sporty and fun. I'm looking forward to seeing one in person. The ability to add the instruments onto the watches is quite interesting, and makes LW stand apart from the crowd a bit. Thanks for al...
Thanks Daos ...
check it out when there is an opportunity. By then, perhaps you may taking a wrist-shot not on the beach, but underwater Kong
Really good report...
I would love to see that oktopus moonphase lume in person. Fascinating. Regards, Richard.
Likewise. The surrounding was too bright that night...
otherwise would have capture a shot. If you see, please grab us a field-shot. Thanks. Kong
Kong, was there a reaction of Linde Werdelin on ....
the negative editor's note (of Melvyn Teillol-Foo) at the bottom of the Basel 2010 report on Linde Werdelin? This is the right link: home.watchprosite.com 0 Melvyn's remark about "rough burrs and manufacturing marks still present" is troublesome for me as...
Hi, I'm not sure if LW
took MTF's suggestion and cleaned it up OR it is still as is BUT... and this is a big BUT... to my much lesser trainer eye, and without a loupe, it is something which I did not notice. For what its worth. The spido skeleton is very nice.
Can't say much as ...
I did not see under the loupe. The evening was pack with people. After I've done shooting the pics, there was a queue to meet Jorn. Hopefully the retailer has a piece of stock around, will go back to check. Which model of Spido you are eyeing? Kong
Thanks Arthur and Kong for your reaction...
Right now I am weighing pluses and minuses of the LW SA Titanium versus the Bremont MB II. There is only one dealer of both in my country and I am planning a visit in the near future. Between the two I find the LW's exterior spectacular but know nothing a...
Will have to check ...
for the story of NOS for LW. Every movement has a shock-protection built in, be it Incabloc or others, at the jewel bearings holding the balance wheel. It is just a matter how much extra shock would the wearer subject the watch to Bremont has indeed done ...
Very interesting brand, Kong.
I suppose they are strong in their case design. Coincidentally, LW reminds me of Wyler. Both are loud in their design. Regards Ling
Great report Kong
... thank you for posting the pictures for a great event (so I've been told...) A few corrections to your pictures: The watch shown in black DLC is not The One Hard Black 11, but the Oktopus DLC. Furthermore, the watch shown in the last pictures on bracel...

A few answers...
1. What's the story behind the NOS movement modified by Andersen? Is it an old ETA movement? How durable and dependable is it and why? The SpidoLIte SA is fitted with a New Old Stock A. Schild ref. 1876 movement (NOS), meaning an unused, vintage movement....
Thank you very much, Martin....
.... I will soon visit the dealer in The Hague. I will let know what I will have decided. Thanks again.
