&lt;p style=&quot;padding-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;A Skagen Denmark innovation. Forget the hassle of clasps or complex band adjustments. It simply slips over your hand for safe and secure time keeping.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Inspired by he pattern of shifting sand as its swept across the beaches of Skagen, the stretch mesh band is lightweight and flexible.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;/uploads/30710/ufiles/products_promotions/red_dot_2011.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;146&quot; height=&quot;112&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Its largest and most recognised design competition in the world and to win is like being awarded an Oscar.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff0000;&quot;&gt;and the winner is...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Skagen White Label 809 Series has won the reddot design award for 2011 and joins a growing list of Skagen Denmark timepieces judged to be amongst the best designed products in the world.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 style=&quot;padding-top: 10px;&quot;&gt;MASTERFULLY CRAFTED&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Form and function meet edgy design with a titanium case, genuine carbon fi bre dial, a multifunction movement and luminous accented hands and hour markers. Plus the streamlined stainless steel mesh band makes it as unique as the wearer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 style=&quot;padding-top: 10px;&quot;&gt;ULTRA SLIM TITANIUM (809XLTBN)&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The hero in the release of new gents White Label watches. Just like the ocean and source of the design inspiration; the lightweight appearance disguises hidden strength. The case is brushed and the marine inspired mesh band wraps around the wrist for a safe and seamless contour. Modern style meets brute force for $340.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For Henrik and Charlotte Jorst this award means more than recognition for excellence in design, its international affirmation that Skagen Denmark is delivering their vision and brand promise of affordable style.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Danish products are acknowledged worldwide for their quality, attention to detail and an approach to design that marries function with form.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Founded by Henrik &amp;amp; Charlotte Jorst, Skagen Denmark has come to mirror these attributes and feature the qualities consistent to its Danish heritage.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td style=&quot;width: 15px;&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td valign=&quot;top&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;

&lt;td&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Simplicity&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Minimalism is the design &amp;lsquo;rule of law&amp;rsquo; that applies to Danish products. Similarly, Skagen Denmark is recognized by clean precise lines that define shape and form.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;

&lt;td&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Precision&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Danish products are associated with precision. Skagen Denmark applies precise measures to colour and texture to bring inanimate objects to life with attention to detail that extends from the design drawing through to the finished product.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display: block; padding-left: 25px; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto;&quot; src=&quot;/uploads/30710/ufiles/products_promotions/distinctlydanish4.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;100&quot; height=&quot;179&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Quality&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Like other Danish products, Skagen Denmark is built to last. Serious consideration is given to ensure only the highest quality materials are used in manufacturing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot; src=&quot;/uploads/30710/ufiles/products_promotions/distinctlydanish5.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;150&quot; height=&quot;254&quot; /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Contemporary&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Much of the appeal for Skagen Denmark is with the simple, yet contemporary product styling. Understated elegance is part of the Brands&amp;rsquo; DNA and consistent with the elements of Danish design.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Skagen Denmark received what many consider to be the highest accolade in the world of design; the reddot design award.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Over 12,000 submissions and participation by more than 60 countries make the reddot design awards to be the biggest and most highly recognised design competition in the world.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are 3 award categories&lt;span class=&quot;size24&quot; style=&quot;color: #9c2121; vertical-align: middle;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;size24&quot; style=&quot;color: #9c2121; vertical-align: middle;&quot;&gt;&amp;bull;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;size11&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.red-dot.org/product-design.html#c247&quot;&gt;reddot award: product design&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;size24&quot; style=&quot;color: #9c2121; vertical-align: middle;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;bull;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;size11&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.red-dot.org/communication-design.html#c235&quot;&gt;reddot award: communication design&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;size24&quot; style=&quot;color: #9c2121; vertical-align: middle;&quot;&gt;&amp;bull;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;size11&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.red-dot.sg/concept/index.htm&quot;&gt;reddot award: design concept&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Award winning products, designs and concepts are then displayed to an international public in the reddot design museum. The museum was established in 2005 and is located in Singapore.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For Henrik and Charlotte Jorst this award means more than simply recognition for excellence in design, it&amp;rsquo;s international affirmation that Skagen Denmark is a brand that delivers on its promise of &amp;lsquo;affordable style&amp;rsquo;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And the winner is...........&lt;/p&gt;
