Nordgreen Philosopher Scandinavian Gun Metal Watch with Interchangeable Straps

Product Information

Stand out of the bunch with a watch that bears testament to your boldness and how well you differ from the masses. Make a statement, but don't get too loud while at it in these luxury watches. After Harry retrieves Slughorn’s memory, Harry and Dumbledore view it. They learn that Voldemort sought information about Horcruxes, magical devices which enable a wizard to gain immortality by splitting their soul into fragments. Dumbledore concludes that Voldemort had created six Horcruxes and that two have already been destroyed. While the Pioneer and Native both had domed sapphire crystals (top-end for their price point) there’s no information about the crystal in the Philosopher. Nordgreen is a brand with a global mindset and a global conscience. For a minimalistic watch, it sure does send a big message.

While the watch looks good and feels okay, you can get watches with similar specifications for a lot less elsewhere. I get that they have this sustainability thing going on and that these have a nice design, but these are made in Hong Kong and likely still have a really high mark-up. There is an extended cut of the film running about 159 minutes vs the theatrical version runs 152 minutes. It was first shown on TV networks (ABC in the US, several international broadcasts had the same extended showing) in 2004. The 2009 Ultimate Edition DVD/Blu-ray release includes this cut as well. The watch has a solid weight (3.77 ounces / 107 grams) with the 3-link strap and it strikes a great balance between its weight and comfort. The weight also adds to the feeling of quality and durability. The movement

Even though Nordgreen uses the genuine leather (lower grade than top-grain or full-grain), they seem to source it from an excellent tannery. It’s soft and easy to wear for long periods of time. The reunited trio learns from Luna Lovegood’s father that the symbol in Hermione’s book (which Dumbledore left her) represents the Deathly Hallows: the three magical artefacts which make a wizard the master of death. Lovegood then reveals his daughter has been kidnapped, and he was intending to hand them over in exchange, so they escape into the wilderness once more as the Lovegood home is destroyed by Death Eaters. We step up the game by allowing you the chance to choose between a gold or rose gold strap. If you still want that beautiful gold timepiece with a pink face, that is. Based on this information, I think you receive value for your money, and even slightly more when compared with the competition. Conclusion

There are a lot of minimalist watches on the market (especially from designer brands), but the Philosopher manages to stand out. It features many small details that elevate the watch, and the brand is leading the way in terms of ethical business practices and eco-friendliness. The Nordgreen Philosopher is an elegant, minimalistic watch with some interesting details. But does it possess the same level of quality as more established brands? The Brand The strap, by default, was too large for my wrist, so I took it to my friend, who sells and repairs watches, to remove one link. Now the strap was too tight and after wearing the watch for an hour, it left visible imprints on my skin. Of the 30+ watches in my collection, 20 must have Miyotas at their core. While it’s not exotic or rare, I haven’t had any problems with my watches breaking down or losing significant amounts of time. Strap and Wearability If you’re wanting to complete the world of witchcraft and wizardry, it’ll take 27.5 hours – so, grab your wand and Marauder’s Map.The biggest tell in my opinion (after testing tons of watches) is in how the crown controls the movement. Cheap watches just feel cheap. Quality watches feel sturdy and responsive.

I have observed that in the past there have been a few individuals (even some reviewers) who have voiced complaints about the second hand not being properly aligned with the minute and hour marks. I can confirm that on my watch, the second hand is aligned perfectly. Maybe this was a quality issue that was since resolved. AccuracyI am not purposefully ragging on DW, they just happen to be the most well known Scandinavian fashion watch brand and are similar price point as Nordgreen.

In our bid to ensure sustainability, we have made our straps compatible with most other quality watch brand designs too. That way, you can shop our watch straps – in different colours and designs – to complement an already existing watch in your collection. Quality Leather Straps for Men and Women Choosing the rose gold means you're getting a shade closer to the pink already on the watch. A fine choice, if you ask us. Nordgreen has a great selection of straps, and I chose the 3-link gun metal band to give the watch a more classy, elegant look. I also got the Navy Blue Nylon band, which looks a bit sportier. With these two bands, I can wear my Philosopher for any occasion. The 3-Link Strap

Wear test – 2 months

Some of our customers prefer that their leathers have never been tested on, or obtained from, animals. It is for these needs that we created the vegan leather bands. In Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, the Weasley kids break Harry out of his Privet Drive home in a flying Ford Anglia, after he has been repeatedly warned not to return to Hogwarts by Dobby.
