The Inspiration Behind The Bering Time Arctic Design
Bering watches are a treasure inspired by Danish businessman Rene Kaerskov's Arctic jump from a helicopter in 2008. Kaerskov fell in love with the ice cold beauty of the world's most northern point. Upon his return home to Denmark, his description of this beauty captivated the imagination of his business partners. The group dreamed up a line of watches that would attempt to capture the breath-taking Arctic wild as Kaerskov had seen it on that life-changing jump using Danish designs utilizing a minimalist approach and optimal material strength.
What Are Bering Watches Made Of?
These watches use a sapphire crystal glass, which is scratch resistant and will not cloud as so many other less durable brands do, to protect the face of their watches. Using this unique glass enables the watch to truly stand the test of time. Sapphire crystal is less resistant than other common materials used in watch making, such as mineral or quartz glass. The Bering Watches are made even easier to read by the Sapphire Crystal Glass' high translucency and light refraction.
Medical grade surgical stainless steel (316L) gives the watches a cool look, which enhances the pieces' pure, clean look. The trademark glittering is complemented by the steel. A finely brushed or polished finish brings the Arctic feel of these unique watches together.
The slim, ceramic case and bevel merges beautifully with the overall design of the line. Using a fine ceramic powder pressed into a mold, the material manages its durability when it is heated in an oven at 1600 degrees centigrade. After it has cooled off, this special ceramic is sanded, shaped and polished. By the time the process is finished, only a diamond could ruin this unique material.
Though the design is engineered to withstand all sorts of mishaps, sometimes things do happen. Kaerskov's company recognizes this, and backs up their design's durability. As such, a three year warranty guarantees the quality of this unique design.
Made in Rene Kaerskov's native Denmark, the design strives to combine optimal material strength with Danish minimalist design. I am in awe of how this approach manages to capture the beauty of the Arctic wild Rene Kaerskov saw that frigid day in 2008. It truly lives up to the designer's words, "When Arctic Beauty Inspires Every Second." The inspiration for Kaerskov's design is clear in each piece the line has turned out.
