IN-DEPTH: Linde Werdelin release '3 Timer' GMT in sandblasted steel with stunning blue gradient dial, limited to just 55

Linde Werdelin 3 Timer GMT blue dialNo fauxtina, no sub 40mm case and seemingly hewn out of a three ton block of arctic granite … I am blown away by how something so big can be so refreshing. A massive chunk of sandblasted blue freshness. You can tell by my name that I might have a Nordic bias here – but my personal preference is small, vintage, with a hint of bling. Yes, everything the Linde Werdelin range is not. Still, I feel myself drawn to this big chunk of a watch, seemingly made for my demigod namesake and not for my puny wrists.

The DNA is easily traceable from the first Biformeter through 3 Timers, Spidolites and the other previously released Nordic tools. The shape is unapologetically large, yet sits with surprising comfort on my wrist thanks to studied ergonomics. The rather wide bracelet or integrated rubber band gives it the vibe of other chunky tools we know from the likes of Hublot but with an identity all of its own. Polarising? Who cares!
