Henry Archer レビュー 

Je cherchais une automatique un peu typée plongeuse, de 40mm de diamètre le tout avec une épaisseur contenue.

J'ai finalement flashé sur la Nordsø.
Commande passer le dimanche soir, montre arrivée le mardi.
La montre est tout aussi belle en vrai que sur les photos du site (modèle Nordsø), très agréable à porter au poignet, très bien construite.

Le service client est remarquable (je précise que je n'ai eu aucun souci avec la montre mais j'avais plusieurs questions auxquelles j'ai eu des réponses très rapidement).

C'est une petite marque qui mérite d'être reconnu de part la qualité de leur travail et leur professionnalisme. Des passionnés qui fabriquent des montres et qui font passer la satisfaction de leurs clients avant tout.

Received my Havstrom Suntrail model, it's beautiful and I highly recommend! Sits low and comfy on the wrist, and the adjustable clasp is so good. 40mm is spot on for my 7" wrist - I think it wears a tad smaller than that but that's a watch nerd thing. 28K beats is where it's at - so bored with the same old ubiquitous 21K NH35 movements - these Myota 9019 are a big step up from that world. The Havstrom's crystal is super clear, the crown turns like butter, and the bracelet tapers nicely from 20mm to 16 - very comfortable. This watch is dripping with quality and a keeper forever, don't overlook this brand.

A couple months ago, I decided to make the switch from a smartwatch back to traditional watches. I already had a few of my own, and I inherited almost a dozen from my dad, but I wanted to buy a couple more new ones ... and naturally, I became inundated with watch ads.

I would lazily bored-scroll through most of them, but when I saw Henry Archer's ad for the first time (for one of the purple Vesterhavs), my attention fully locked in. Bold colors, remarkable dial designs, and little touches like a slick logo that incorporates well into the crown.

I wanted one but was undecided, so I kept coming back to the site to evaluate. At one point, I ended up on the out-of-stock page, found one I loved and sent a message out to customer support asking if they ever did re-issued. I received a surprisingly well-written reply (customer service generally can run the gamut) that claimed to be from Henrik, the owner. "Odd tactic," I thought -- why pretend that's the case when no one expects the owner to respond to emails? But after looking around, it turns out it was the real deal, and Henrik himself actually tackles some communications.

That sealed the deal. Rather than waiting, I landed on the Verden GMT - Purple Eclipse, with an additional polar white rubber strap.

Some notes:

- Delivery: The watch arrived promptly, within a week.
- Primary packaging: Set the tone -- sleek, textured box. A step above what I've seen out of the likes of similarly priced watches from Seiko, Orient and Citizen.
- Watch case: A thick, well-padded dual watch case that I'm now going to use as my travel case.
- Initial "pop": My wife gasped when I opened the case. Certain watches don't measure up to their well-polished ad images, but the Verden screamed out of the gate. I was so happy I actually started -laughing-. And when I went to have my bracelet sized, the guy who has serviced about 10 of my watches and has never really given a big reaction let out a big "OH," then was all smiles while he was grilling me about the watch and where I bought it from.
- Design details: Crisp and precise. Good gravy, do I love Henrik's use of color. That man is unafraid.
- Materials: Flawless. The watch has a healthy heft to it -- it's not cumbersome, far from it, but you know it's there, and you're glad for it. It shines, it catches light well, but it doesn't cross over into being gaudy.
- Value: Exceptional. While I inherited a couple watches worth more than a grand, I doubt I'll ever buy myself one that expensive -- I tend not to splurge on nontravel items, I have an odd wealth-concentration risk ("I can't wear $TK on my wrist/eyes/whatever"), and I don't feel the need to spend five digits on a watch when I can get something that works very well and looks great for three digits. (Not hating on those who do, though -- your happiness means a lot more than what I think!) And honestly, HA's quality has only reinforced my belief.

I sent a message to Henrik thanking him and asking if they had a physical store, because my wife and I are planning a European vacation, and I'd very much like to buy my next one in person. I don't actually know if they have a proper store, because Henrik instead invited me to give them a date and time so we could set up a visit the design studio.

I'm trying to recall whether I've ever had a better front-to-back experience buying -a thing-, and I don't think I have. I've been floored by the level of product quality and customer service out of Henry Archer, and I absolutely plan to buy more watches from them. If you're reading this because you're on the fence, get off the fence and give HA your money.

Just want to say I’m thrilled with my purchase. Amazing delivery speed, outstanding product quality for any amount, let alone the price point of this watch, super timing of the movement (+/- 2-4 secs per day in 4 positions).

I repair and restore vintage watches as a hobby business and have repaired/restored about 150 pieces in the past five years, so goes to say I’m a dedicated “watch guy”.

I’ve been looking to purchase a new watch for my personal use for some time, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision.

Thank you and best wishes.

Very fast shipping of my Verden GMT. Top quality watch, extremely high finish! Could not be moere satisfied!

i wish i knew about Henry Archer when my appreciation for automatic watches began. since then, i've collected several microbrand and luxury timepieces. as for my first experience with HA, i found them in my search for my high-school son's Junior Ring ceremony, only he didn't want a class ring, hence a watch. i initially ordered the wrong one, but a message got it cancelled quickly (even with the time zone difference). order to receipt of the watch took only 3 days from Denmark to the US...amazing! he chose the watch, a Vesterhav 38 in Halo White. the contrasting colors on the dial are his school's colors...how fitting! the steel case and band are nothing short of quality, satin with just the right amount of polished accents. when removing the links, i was surprised they use screws which i now prefer over cotter pins. the toolless micro-adjust clasp is a welcomed feature, something only one of my luxury watches has. the Miyota 9019 movement can be seen through the open case back. its specs are highly impressive compared to the Sellita and Seiko movements in my other microbrand watches. after coming to admire this Vesterhav, i ordered a Verden GMT for myself.

I recently purchased the Henry Archer Havstrom Meteorite Atlas and the Henry Archer Vesterhav Raven watches.

Regarding the Havstrom Meteorite Atlas watch, the dial is crafted from the Muonionalusta meteorite, which originated from Sweden and is estimated to be more than four billion years old. This feature gives the watch a unique, crystalline fractal pattern. The watch has a striking blue dial. The watch features a slim design and is solidly built, with 200m water resistance. It also has the highly regarded Japanese Miyota movement. The watch is fitted with a high-quality sapphire crystal on both front and back and has a 6-layer anti-reflective (AR) coating. The HV 1200 scratch-resistant coating on the case and the bracelet gives added protection from the rigors of everyday use. Other noteworthy features of this watch include the Swiss Super-Luminova lume, integrated crown guards, and a fully milled clasp with on-the-fly micro-adjustment for the bracelet. That ensures comfort and protection without sacrificing style. The impeccable craftsmanship and flawless quality are awe-inspiring. Overall, it is an excellent watch that has been aesthetically designed and is indeed a pleasure to wear. The packaging is very well-designed, and the company offers free, expedited shipping. The customer service is truly extraordinary. The Chief Designer and Owner of Henry Archer, Mr. Henrik Schodt, personally responded to my emails. His guidance through the watch selection process is deeply appreciated.

Regarding the Vesterhav Raven, it features a very slim profile (only 10.45mm thick). It features most of the same characteristics as the Meteorite Atlas, including Miyota movement, durability, 200m water resistance, a sapphire crystal on both the front and back, solid lume, a well-executed bracelet, and excellent finishing on the case edges. The Raven has been exquisitely designed and looks very beautiful. The Raven has a deep black dial with gilt indices and hands. This feature gives the watch a striking appearance.

In summary, both the Havstrom Meteorite Atlas and the Vesterhav Raven offer an excellent balance between style, functionality, and price. Both watches have been superbly designed and are loaded with attractive features. They provide great value. I am incredibly pleased with both watches, and I strongly endorse the Henry Archer brand.

Orologi di ottima fattura, e con un myota serie 9000 premium precisissimo

First time buyer and didn't know what to expect, but I can assure you that this was the best transaction I have had...customer service was/is the best I have experienced and communication responses were very quick. The level of attention they give to the customer is second to none.
My purchase was the Vesterhav Aquila and when it arrived it totally exceeded my expectations. Attention to detail, design and craftsmanship was superb. I will be purchasing another Henry Archer soon. Very very good company to do business with.

I recently purchase a Timeline (english, sorry) and could not be happier with the entire experience! The quality, finishing, function and design are superior to watches multiples more expensive - no hyperbole. Great customer service, responses directly from company principals, reasonable price, rapid shipping - and the watch .. simply outstanding in every regard.
I will be purchasing additional Henry Archer pieces soon and offer my highest recommendation. If you want an excellent watch that realistically compares with the big brands - for a price a fraction of those other brands - Henry Archer is an outstanding choice. You will not regret it.

My second Henry Archer watch arrived a few days ago and I think it looks amazing. The purple face looks very true to how it appears on the website. I very much like the design of the face, which -- to my eye -- gives it a more contemporary look. I say my second watch because I returned the first one as it wasn't quite right for me. Henry Archer refunded me promptly once they received my return. Great watch...great customer service!

I can hardly express how impressed I am with Henry Archer- not just the brand, but the man behind it. From the time I first started considering purchasing a Henry Archer timepiece until now, Henry has been amazingly responsive to my questions and accommodating to my requests. With this brand, you simply are not interacting with a company- you are interacting with a caring individual. I first emailed him with a question about a specific watch, and he replied to my email within minutes! We subsequently conversed via emails back and forth as though it were over texting until I had all of the information I could have possibly asked for. Then, of course, there is the watch. I simply cannot put it down since I got it a few days ago, even though I had intended to wear this piece on more formal occasions and not for daily wear. I ordered the brown leather band together with my Tidslinje- Sienna, and it pairs with the timepiece irresistibly. And the watch itself is truly a beautiful work of art. This is a real pleasure to look at. Even the jeweler I brought it to for sizing the bracelet voiced being impressed with the watch, and he hasn’t done that with any other similarly priced watches I’ve brought to him. I have no higher recommendation than for Henry Archer, and I can assure anyone that, if their experience is anything like mine, they will definitely not regret buying from him.

Just received my Henry Archer Tidevand in purple mother of pearl mosaic and couldn’t be happier with the watch. Easily on a par with C/Ward and a bit cheaper too. Came with a soft leather two watch pouch/roll which was an unexpected surprise. The communication from the company is excellent, I could not add my welcome10 code for 10% discount so I paid full price and emailed Henry Archer Customer Service explaining the small issue, they got back very quickly with a 10% refund off the price. In addition it doesn’t say the bracelet is quick release in the specs but it is which is great as I have a lot of 20mm straps to play with.
The specs are perfectly proportioned. You can trust buying online with this company. And a note for DHL who got the watch to me faster than stated

I bought a Vesterhav 38 in the purple crystallized titanium and it's the most beautiful watch I own. The resizing of the band was very easy with the screw in pins for the links, the micro adjustments are very handy to adjust the watch so it doesn't slide around on my wrist as much, and the lume is amazingly bright, especially coming indoors from direct sunlight. It's a gorgeous watch, and I even bought a teal tie clip to match the second hand when I'm wearing my purple ties. Love this thing. Easy to say I'm hooked. When I can I might get a Nordso with the mosiac MoP dial.

I've had my Henry Archer Relativ Sol now a couple of weeks and it's just a great looking watch. I originally wanted the Vinter but it was sold out. Will be swapping out the nice quality leather band for a two tone silver with black stainless steel band to complement the watch. All in all a great time piece I've added to my small collection.

I bought a Norsø Raven for my graduation present and was in shock! The quality of the watch is immaculate and the attention to detail is second to none. I would recommend Henry Archer to anyone. Whether you are just getting into watches or have been collecting for years. These are outstanding watches!

I recently ordered a beautiful Henry Archer watch with a meteorite stone dial, and I couldn't be more impressed with its craftsmanship. I accidentally ordered the wrong version, but the people from Henry Archer (Henrik in my case) were incredibly helpful—he quickly assisted me, even on a Sunday evening, to change my order to the right watch. The level of customer service and the quality of the watch are both exceptional. Highly recommend!

Not realizing that these watches are handmade in Denmark, I admittedly cut the timeline close ordering the Kosmos Watch as a wedding day gift for my husband. I frantically called Henrik- the owner and he was kind and made sure to prioritize the watch, assuring us that it would make it here in time. The watch arrived in time and is STUNNING. Truly a one of a kind. Worth every penny and more.

I just received the Verden/Silt watch I ordered from Henry Archer. I am very pleased with the quality of the watch as well as the very comfortable fit of the bracelet. Both at and after the time I ordered the watch, I had several nice personal chats with Henrik, the company's owner, who was very accommodating about notifying me in advance of the shipping date due to my travel schedule. I love the watch - especially the size and styling, fantastic steel case, GMT function, and the bright lume which makes it really easy to tell time in the dark. This watch will be my go to watch for traveling to overseas destinations and water activities.
