About Skagen Named after a fishing hamlet in Denmark on the northern tip of the Jutland peninsula, Skagen Designs was founded by Henrik and Charlotte Jorst in 1991 after the two Copenhagen natives moved to New York City. The company subscribes to the principle that beautifully designed, high-quality objects can be created at reasonable prices. Skagen watches represent the technical excellence, refined design and operational simplicity that have created the unique reputation of Danish design.
The fishing village of Skagen--the Skaw--lies where the northern-most tip of the Danish peninsula known as Jutland bends East and breaks the surging waters of the Kattegat and Skagerak seas. The spectacular natural beauty of the area is compellingly beautiful, and its white sandy beaches have been visited by artists for centuries.

A good dual time watch (2010-07-02)
I bought this from Amazon 1 month back and I am happy with this till now.
This is a very light watch that is functional and looks good on your wrist. Because of the mesh strap, this will fit in almost any wrist size.Primarly I use this for my work as I have to manage 2 time zones.
Beautiful watch, hard to adjust (2010-06-16)
Absolutely a beautiful watch, looks fantastic...however...the instructions are so small you need a magnifying glass (and I have good eye sight). The watch is so hard to adjust, it took me over 3 hours to figure it out. Luckily I had a butter knife nearby and could pop the part that required adjusting. The only other issue was getting the adjustable part to go back down, that took an additional 1/2 hour and a little bit of strength. I recommend this watch highly but keep your patience trying to adjust. I only gave 4 stars becasue 5 stars would be perfect...perfect would be no issues with the adjustment.
Do we like Passé? (2010-05-12)
This is the watch for one who likes Passé! I had wanted to buy a Skagen titanium watch and bought this with another Skagen dual time three weeks ago. Comparing this model with the other one, this one definitely looks dressy but a little passé (personal opinion only). heck! but i don't mind passé, i would wear this when i need to look passé going to boring functions and doing passé things with passé people (nothing personal here!)
The most impressive thing is the lack of weight wearing this on my wrist, it's waffle thin and weighs next to nothing. But then again, doesn't all titanium watches suppose to?
The design is dressy, and somewhat classy too. there is something very distictive about the design (including the colour, the hue, the layout and overall impression of the watch) - it's very northern european, and i like the simplicity of it. It doesn't look a million dollar, but it's respectable enough for any passé occassion (personal opinions only). The mesh band looks nice and easily adjustable for fit - it saves me a few bucks having the links adjusted by a watch repairer.
functionally, unlike the other Skagen dual time i bought (took awhile to get used to reading the time because of the reflecting light on the watch face), the dials are easy to read and it keeps the time fairly accurately. So far, everything works well - no complaints here. how it works in future, only time will tell (puns intended).
I bought this at a great price, thanks to Amazon, and i think it worthed every dollar i paid for. Get one if you like the look of it.
A very good watch (2009-07-26)
I bought it for my husband. He likes it a lot! It's a very nice dress watch with dual time zone. Its tone, shape and size go very well with ties and suits. It's the type of elegant and classic looking.
