Skagen

Founded in 1989 by Danish entrepreneurs Henrik and Charlotte Jorst, Skagen Denmark was established to bring clean, functional Scandinavian design to the global watch market. Named after the coastal Danish village where the North Sea and Baltic Sea converge, the brand built its identity on uncluttered aesthetics, ultra-slim case geometry, and its signature fine-woven stainless steel mesh straps. Acquired by the Fossil Group in 2012, Skagen operates as an owned portfolio brand, pairing Danish minimalist design with global production scale and sustainable manufacturing initiatives.
