Pkonos revisits a distinctive timepiece, the Linde Werdelin SpidoLite, prompting a fresh look at a brand known for its unique blend of Danish design and Swiss manufacturing. This article delves into the watch's compelling aesthetic and technical merits, highlighting why its CNC-fabricated titanium case remains a significant talking point among collectors. Pkonos's post serves as an excellent reminder of Linde Werdelin's innovative approach to watchmaking.
A few old pics (the first one from aBlogtoWatch)
Danish designed, Swiss made and a compelling case for cool CNC fabrication.
@44mm x 15mm, the Spidolite Summit is a bit of beast on the wrist, but surprisingly light and comfortable due to the extensive skeletonizing of the titanium case and lugs. Not sure if Linde Werdelin offers factory tours, but I imagine it would be fun to see the milling machines in action.
The movement is a Concepto caliber (per Google, likely of Valjoux 7750 provenance), with 40~50 hrs. of power reserve.
And yours is super cool. LW was somewhat popular on Paneristi in the 2000s. There was a decent crossover in owners. It was on other Risti’s wrists I first saw LW. Concepto movement is something I also have in another (smaller) monster from the one and done Wild Horologists & Team. Not as cool a design as the LW, but also a fraction of the price.
or of Wild Horologists and Team. Similar vibes as LW inside and out.
Owned almost all there watches many years ago traded them to own their end piece imo the Octa Tattoo but unfortunate that one was stolen from me a few years ago.
Very sorry to hear that yours was stolen from you, that sucks big time.
Can be its already in small pieces as i don,t think its that easy to sell 🤷🏻♂️
A tad large for my slender wrist, though 😊🤷🏻♂️
