Scandinavian minimalistic design backed up by high quality Swiss movements.
Lars Larsen Watches are a relatively new brand to the market, however, the history of the brand goes back to the end of the late 19th century with Lars Larsen snr. A sea captain with a passion for watches and a big dream to manufacture his own timepieces. Large distances, communications and production challenges in an increasingly turbulent and complex time of the second World War made it impossible for his dream to become reality. Fast forward to 2012 and his grandson (also named Lars Larsen) bought his grandfather's dream to reality by launching
the Lars Larsen watch brand and company.
With a huge collection comprising gents, ladies and unisex watches, I have decided to review three of my favourite models from the Danish brand. The colourful and beautiful 137GEGL from the Emma Collection, the 131SWCN from the ever popular Sebastian Collection and the subtle and unusual colour combination model 129SGSL from the retro Ayo Collection.

I love this watch and get so many lovely compliments every time I wear it! "What a beautiful watch". "Wow, amazing colour". "It's gorgeous, what make is it?"

A superb emerald green dial, clear and easy to see is complimented by a matching emerald green, crocodile pattern leather strap.

Introducing the 129SGSL a great looking, retro stylie timepiece from the Lars Larsen Ayo Collection.
Just look at that colour combo...a dark, almost slate grey dial with a beige strap, it shouldn't work but it does and very stylishly IMHO! A small collection of just five pieces, the Ayo range has some colourful dials. Deep chocolate brown, deep sea blue, white (but with a sapphire colour strap), champagne and my favourite above. Here is a link to the rest of the Ayo Collection but I think this one is the best : )
A retro shaped 40mm stainless steel case, (perfect size for his or hers), grey dial, date window and sub dial topped off with a Sapphire glass together with a beige crocodile pattern leather strap make this the perfect everyday watch to go with any outfit. Oh and by the way it is water resistant to 5ATM.
One of my favourite timepieces from Lars Larsen's Unisex collections, I think this is a timeless (pardon the pun) piece especially with a RRP of just £197.00 To find out more about Lars Larsen Watches and their stockists please visit www.larslarsenwatches.co.uk
