Danish-inspired brand Skagen is growing. In addition to its stellar watch selection, the same streamlined, easy-going formula is applied to a new range of leather bags, small accessories, and jewelry both for men and women. There's also innovation in the materials used in the wristbands, as evidenced in Skagen's Felt styles, which substitute the tradition metallic or leather strap with a soft Merino wool felt, backed with a nubuck underlayer.
With its two large subdials (one for the day, one for the date,) the Holst Felt Watch is a highlight. It features a smart quick-release pin that allows you to change the strap easily -- for that purpose, the three-in-one set ($225) gives you plenty of options to coordinate it with your outfit. To put it simply, it's Scandinavian design at its best.
