Nordgreen Philosopher Scandinavian Gun Metal Watch with Interchangeable Straps

Product Information

Nylon straps (also known as NATO straps) are known for their durability, making them ideal for tough conditions. They are also a great choice for when you want to sport a more casual look.

The minimalist quartz watch market is very competitive, and the Nordgreen Philosopher does not really stand out.During a Potions lesson, Harry discovers his textbook is filled with helpful notes from someone calling themself the “Half-Blood Prince” and begins to excel in Potions lessons. Dumbledore later tasks Harry with retrieving a memory of Voldemort from Professor Slughorn, so he continues to try and impress him. Harry's magical powers begin to awaken. The Dursleys refuse to send Harry to Hogwarts and try to suppress his powers until Hogwarts' groundskeeper Hagrid arrives to whisk him off to the now-infamous school of witchcraft and wizardry. There are a staggering amount of watches out there in the wild and the number increases massively every year, with such choices it can be easy to feel overwhelmed. Designs vary massively and the complications on offer can also make you feel unsure of whether your choice is the right one, design, complications, pricing, quality, so many things to consider. Designer watches are all too often cheaply made with some great looks but failing miserably in the area of function, often breaking and being unusable within only a few years. The crown is quite the winner. It has this unusual half toothed shape (the indentation is not all the way down to the base of the crown). I really like that. I don’t own any watch that has this type of crown shape. I find the tiny Nordgreen logo on the crown super cute. Love their attention to detail with this design.

The Philosopher watch is a gentle reflection and minimalist tendencies that says so much more with so much less. Nothing broken, no visible discolouration and the leather was hardy enough to have no visible scratch. This is the COVID era, so we’re talking about hourly hand wash and sanitiser madness. I was a bit worried about my hand cleaning action discoloring the watch or the leather strap, but it turned out to be tougher than it looks. So from “ease of care”, yeah, Nordgreen Philosopher did good. This is a selfie… you see my right hand and the remote? *LOL* Accuracy It is not every day you see such a blend on a watch. Sadly, it might not be here tomorrow either – so why not get a copy of your pink face watch today? Disclosure: Nordgreen found my tiny blog from an old watch article and offered a watch of my choice in exchange for a review.

The Leather Strap Promise

The biggest tell in my opinion (after testing tons of watches) is in how the crown controls the movement. Cheap watches just feel cheap. Quality watches feel sturdy and responsive. The trio witness Voldemort explaining to Snape why he cannot use the Elder Wand until Snape is dead. Nagini fatally injures Snape, who tells Harry to take his tears to the Pensieve before dying. When Harry reads the memories held within, Harry learns that Snape was protecting Harry as he loved his mother, Lily. Harry befriends fellow student Ron Weasley ( Rupert Grint) on the Hogwarts Express train, and later becomes friends with Hermione Granger ( Emma Watson) after the duo saves her from an escaped troll. The three of them start practising magic, and Harry begins a longstanding feud with entitled Slytherin schoolmate Draco Malfoy, especially after Harry displays a brilliant aptitude for Quidditch.
