Skagen Watches: Stylish, Sleek, Luxurious, Classy
You might wonder as to how Skagen women's watch came to life. It happened way back in the year 1986. Henrik Jorst and Charlotte Kjolbye were introduced at a corporate party and wound up falling in love. You could say that it was love at first sight. Shortly after, Carlsberg, Henrik’s then employers transferred him to New York to manage their North American marketing operation. Before long, Charlotte hooked up with Henrik in New York. Both got drawn back to each other during the subsequent year.
A friend of Henrik's from Denmark sent him some samples of his company gift watches, asking if there was a conceivable market for them in the United States. Using the samples as a starting point, they added their own fashionable touches, creating a very stylish end product. Surprisingly to them, corporate buyers were in love with their designs, and suggested that they make a brand name for themselves instead of only supplying to corporations.
Over eight hundred watches were created by Jorst and Kjolbye in four very unique looks with the brand name "Skagen Denmark." The designs of their watches, along with an uncanny intuition for what customer's are looking for, drove the couple to create watches that were exactly what people wanted. The couple ordered a set, and they were almost instantly sold out. The couple ordered more, and in the following year, thirty new watch designs were created. One particular buyer, who happened to own a huge mail order catalog, was so impressed with the Skagen watches that he put them on the back of his special Father's Day issue. They sold out even more quickly than before.
Later on in the year 1995, Bloomingdales agreed to sell the Skagen mens wristwatches on a trial basis. Every single watch was sold by the end of the day. Skagen Designs was featured in an article in Inc. magazine where it was among the top 250 fastest growing private corporation in the United States. In the period of five years, turnover had gone up by 1200 percent. Eighty stores in Denmark were now selling the watches after a new office opened to create ECU distribution.
Skagen Denmark Company had grown to nearly one hundred workers and the brand started selling their products in the United Kingdom in the year 1995. The selling of the products also followed in Germany and the Netherlands during the year 2000. The company has managed to move mountains since then and is now a gigantic company with 160 staff and distribution in more than sixty global markets. The brand now offers more than 250 watch designs sold in more than 5000 stores worldwide.
Everything about Skagen’s designs challenges conventional watch market styles. Skagen likes to provide an authentic design philosophy that stays devoted to the founders’ original vision year after year. You can never find any outsized, strident, designs bearing the Skagen mens watches name. Instead you will find clean, chic designs, skillful craftsmanship and technical perfection. This ends in their ultra-slim signature men's watches that you could never go wrong with. It is made with superior chrome steel mesh bands, swish yet classic designs and refined, galvanizing colors and styles at the leading edge of fresh culture.
