Linde Werdelin is celebrating the end of its 20th anniversary year with four coloured versions of its 3 Timers appropriately named the Sunset Collection.
The company says the watches, in yellow, pink, orange and red, will be the last 3 Timers it will make, although it has not set a limit on the number it will produce.
Founder Jorn Werdelin is in a reflective mood about two decades for the brand, and feels the time is right for a shake-up.
“Our 20th anniversary is an opportunity to move forward and make some significant changes — we feel this new chapter will provide for more creative freedom, though it is with some sadness that we are saying goodbye to the 3 Timer. We are committed to only making pieces to order and for customers being able to customise them,” he says.
The 3 Timer was first introduced at Basel in 2009 as a successor to the Biformeter 2, but with a 24-hour bidirectional bezel instead of a 60 minute unidirectional dive bezel.
It has become a platform watch for Linde Werdelin; reissued in 2017 in green, it has since been created in models with names such as the Midnight, the Ocean and the Rock along with made-to order designs.
The Sunset Collection of dual timers comes in a 44mm x 46mm stainless steel case housing an ETA 2893 automatic movement.
They are sold on rubber straps of the same colour as the dials priced at £5,500 plus tax.
