I love a good watch, I really feel that a stunning piece can
pull a whole outfit together. So, when Nordgreen reached out for me to try one
of their own I was incredibly excited to see what the brand had to offer. My
favourite part, the interchangeable straps. More straps for more outfits!
Back in 2017, Nordgreen’s partners
Pascar Sivam and Vasilij Brandt felt that building a brand that is actionable
toward sustainable practices was essential along with creating aesthetically
pleasing watches that were also very functional. They have produced a beautiful
collection of minimalistic designed watched suitable for all genders, age and
generations - regardless of trends

Their first step was creating a
Kickstarter campaign, this helped them to see how many people would be
interested in purchasing a stunning piece. The campaign was a massive success,
surpassing all expectations in the first 48 hours of going live!
Nordgreen strives themselves on
leaving the lowest trace as possible in the environment, they want to be as sustainable and ethical as
possible to do this they are carbon neutral; planting thousands of trees in
able to offset their carbon emissions, they also recommend all their staff to
make the most of their beautiful country and cycle to work.
As part of leaving the lowest trace,
the materials that Nordgreen choose are of the upmost importance. Nordgreen
offers a vast range of straps and watch faces to suit every person from every
generation. The straps come in a variety of colours and materials ranging from
rose gold mesh to authentic and vegan leather. All of their straps are produced
with environmentally friendly methods to reduce as much chemical pollution from
the environment as possible.
Everything has been carefully thought about, even down to the
packaging that your watch is posted out in. The stunning luxe navy and white
box is made from FSC certified cardboard and the soft felt inside the box is
made from up-cycled plastic bottles. You’d never think it’s made up of recycled
plastic bottles, its stunning.
Not only do Nordgreen use sustainable
manufacturers, are carbon neutral, use recycled packaging they also have a
Giving Back Programme that every customer becomes a part of automatically when
they’ve purchased a watch, and it’s at no extra cost! So whenever you purchase
a watch from Nordgreen you are able to donate part of that purchase to one of
the three NGO’s Non-Governmental Organisation) that Nordgreen support, these
are;
HEALTH – 2 months of clean
water to one person in Central Africa
EDUCATION
– 2 months of education to one child in India
ENVIRONMENT
– 200sqft of preserved rainforest in Latin America
I’m absolutely thrilled with my
watch I went for the 32mm Native watch with the white dial and mesh strap with
the additional pink leather and rose gold strap, my two straps are the perfect accessories
to finish off an outfit.
