LINDE WERDELIN - SpidoSpeed Black Diamond Chronograph


















LINDE WERDELIN - SpidoSpeed   Black    Diamond Limited Edition Chronograph 


The Spido family is produced with superb precision engineering. With ideas drawn from constructing racing car chassis, the case body is drilled out to maintain the bare essentials for weight reduction, yet offering a robust and stylish structure.


















Linde Werdelin's signature skeletonised case is among the most technical and challenging to produce for a timepiece. The Spido family is a testament to Linde Werdelin's design innovation, build excellence, and meticulous craftsmanship.

A unique composition of black diamonds, mother of pearl, DLC (diamond-like-carbon) with blued-steel hands. Among the LINDE WERDELIN collection, SpidoSpeed Black Diamond is the first to bear a dial made from a precious natural material, precisely from the inside of oyster shells of original Tahitian mother of pearls. Every piece radiates a slightly different gradient of blue, making each one of them inimitable from another.


The SpidoSpeed is a chronograph timepiece constructed of a complex fully skeletonised case with weight reduction technology while preserving strength in the structure. It has been crafted and designed with inspirations originating from the racing car industry.

The dial is constructed into two parts to give a major sense of depth, very much achieved with the use of different colours and surface combinations given by the light effect of the mother of pearl dial. Each 48 brilliant-cut black diamond of 1.57 carats is meticulously mounted inside the bezel with exceptional accuracy. The brilliant cut is one of the most favourable forms for enhancing the play of lights and shades.
