Skagen, the lifestyle brand from Denmark built on a simplified global aesthetic, prepares to dive headfirst into the smartwatch market with its new label, Skagen Connected. Including both the Hagen Connected Hybrid and the Activity Tracker, this new umbrella for wearable tech is a welcome step into an intuitive future. With good design firmly at the forefront, the watchmakers turned rigorous attention to technological expediency and accessibility, aiming to pair its branded design with the sharpest software. Built into the casebody, the watch includes automatic time and date adjustment, activity tracking, email, texting, and can even take photos, available in four classic analog styles with interchangeable straps. The Activity Tracker, the Hagen’s more economized cousin, adds sleep tracking to the expansive features list for a family of devices that embrace sleek portability while disregarding overused technological tropes. The patented Skagen Link software, developed by partnering company Misfit, ensures ease of use and allows the user control over all digital lifestyle aspects from the convenience of their own wrist. Keeping wearers connected while never degrading the masculine accessory staple, Skagen Connected is the progressive man’s answer to a generational wardrobe must.

Skagen Connected is available online now.

Skagen and Leather Projects Offer Modern Simplicity

Two colossal believers of minimalism and polished craftsmanship collide as one, as Skagen and Leather Projects announce a new collaboration. In continuation of Skagen’s effort to expand and grow its leathers category, the partnership boasts exquisite leathered goods including a men’s wallet and pendant watch, constructed in vegetable dyed Vaccheta leather from Tuscany, Italy then cut, hand-sewn, and finished in none other than Leather Projects’ atelier in Copenhagen. Founded in 2011 by the 27-year-old prodigy, Leather Projects has been practicing its handmade leather goods driven by Scandinavian minimalism and Kanso, a Japanese design principle that celebrates simplicity. It was such focus on eliminating excess and building clean and pure design that Skagen so closely identified with. The latter—founded in 1989 as a division of the Fossil Group—is a lifestyle brand that is centered on the same kind of simplicity, quality, purpose, and practicality. Ever since its debut, the brand has been continuously involved with partners around the globe that share the same aesthetic code, and this time it has finally found an ideal counterpart. Skagen x Leather Projects will be available this holiday season at Skagen stores globally and online.

SKAGEN x Eone Update the Bradley Watch

Skagen

Danish brand SKAGEN collaborates with Washington, DC-based watch company Eone for a brand new, limited release of the latter’s signature Bradley watch with the goal of creating a “simple and pure timepiece.” Designed to tell time by touch for the visually impaired, the timepiece features raised markers at each hour and tracks on the inside and outside of the markers with two rotating beads to indicate the time. It was originally named after Bradley Snyder, the former naval officer who lost his eyesight in an explosion and went on to win medals in swimming at the 2012 Paralympics.

To update the timepiece, SKAGEN created the leather strap for the new Bradley using high quality Italian Vacchetta leather for a balance of richness along with the modern titanium and mechanical case. With a unibody construction, the watch provides resilience but is also comfortable for the wearer, and combines innovative technology with a minimalist aesthetic that is synonymous with SKAGEN’s sleek and simple design style. Also inline with Eone’s motto—“designed for everyone”—the Bradley is truly a watch for all: a functional, innovative timepiece for both men, visually abled or not.

The SKAGEN x Eone watch is available at select SKAGEN stores and online now.
