The Astounding Beginning Of Skagen Men’s Watches

Skagen watches began with the story of two immigrants who came to New York from Denmark. This couple was here to begin marketing a brand of watches in order for the Danish company to expand worldwide. This brand was a nice watch to have and began the Skagen watch line.

The designs were liked, but just because of the brand and logo and this was not enough to sell in North America. Americans were looking for more than name recognition; they were looking for something distinctive and reliable as well as being priced within reason.

The two decided to choose four designs of the Danish company and brand them under the Skagen name. The initial order was for approximately 800 time-pieces and they quickly sold out. After another order from the Danish company was sold just as quick, the Skagen company began to expand.

The couple worked on 30 more models and designs for the next year. The two had a distinct idea of what Americans may buy and were looking to purchase. These models were designed with this in mind and it worked. The models began to sell and the company was slowly beginning to grow.

A Scandinavian design and quality was what brought these models to the attention to the public. Along with this was the price of each piece. They were priced in order to sell to everyone and then a catalog publisher was accidentally introduced into the organization. The American publication placed a watch on the back of their catalogue and the SkagenĀ men’s sports watch brand was launch into another category.

This ad earned more than $800,000 and all of the stock sold out. The couple was only working from a small apartment located in New York City, but the success of this woman’s watch was be start. The designers were on their way to bigger and better things.

With this success, the designers approached Bloomingdale’s and convinced them to place their line in the store on a trial basis. By the end of the first day, all the watches were sold and Bloomingdale’s had to make a rapid repeat order. This launched the brand and made it one of the new stars in the watch market by 1998. The next market would be the world, which included Denmark.

The Denmark office was launched and several dozen stores were opened. The company then expanded to Germany, England and other European nation. With over 250 designs and 5,000 stores, the Skagen brand is now being sold throughout the known world. The little investment and the idea of the original four designs made this into a worldwide company that continues to expand.

The little apartment where the first designs were launched from has turned into a 170 employees, all being involved in designing and developing new models. The passion of just two individuals has made it back to their home country of Denmark and now the rest of the world.

The first goals of the Skagen ladies watch company were to make unique designs and models at a good price. These ideas have not stopped and the mission has not changed. Not only are Skagen watches nice to have, but they are being worn by millions of people around the world.

Fever to Tell


Fever to Tell


$6.99


Well before the release of this solid but slender debut, the Brooklyn-based Yeah Yeah Yeahs were the subject of so much international press hype that the White Stripes were probably taking quick, nervous peeks over their shoulders. But while Fever to Tell captures a lot of what’s good about the trio–mostly the caterwauling energy of their club shows–it also exposes the band’s limitations. Singe…

The Beach

Leonardo DiCaprio sought to distance himself from the purity of his character in Titanic, and his role in The Beach is in many ways a polar opposite. As Richard, a young American seeking to “suck in the experience” of freestyle travel in Thailand, he’s a chronic liar, a pot-smoking hedonist, an amoral lover, and ultimately an unstable snake in a doomed Garden of Eden. This crazy descent might be e…

$6.96


Don’t Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in The Hood wants desperately to be an Airplane-like parody of inner-city African American gangsta movies. Instead, it offers us more turkey than we would find at any Thanksgiving spread. Unfunny, stereotypical, stupid, and crass, it was cowritten by Marlon and Shawn Wayans, both of whom should have known better. The two fare better as a…
