Knowing his background is in the film industry and seeing how his smile is as telegenic as any, one might be tempted to guess Oyvind has spent quite a lot of time in the limelight. However, much like his work with the watch brand bearing his name, the Norwegian had spent most of his time behind the scenes, directing and producing mostly biopics, of which The Prince Of Chess, detailing the meteoric rise of Magnus Carlsen, the best chess player ever, has a very respectable 7.8 rating on IMDB...

Von Doren says…checkmate..
​
One of the beautiful things about the game of chess is that when a player reaches a certain level of sophistication, the moves, the pieces and the strategy have a transcendent quality. Meaning, that the game itself can be applied to life itself. A true chess player begins to take the angles, the maneuvers and the tactics of the game, and lays them against the backdrop of the world around them.
VON DOREN GRANDMASTER WATCH
​
Chess is a game of precision and timing and the same is true of high end watches so it makes sense for a timepiece to be inspired by the legendary game that is a battle of wits. What you might not have expected, however, is for the finished product to be quite as dazzling and luxurious as the stunning Grand Master Watch from Norwegian watchmakers, Von Doren. If you love horology and chess, this is the watch for you.
The Vikings are coming – and damn those Watches look good – Von Doren
​
As time progresses you will learn that I love all watches, mechanical, automatic, or quartz. Subs to dress, modern to classic, I am always looking, looking for something to catch my eye, something that is worth my time to put on the site because it qualifies to be remembered as a moment in time.
Von Doren has vintage style I can dig
​
Over the past year or so, we have seen a lot of “me too” sort of watch designs hitting Kickstarter, and it has started to get old. I mean, how many thin, minimalistic, two-handed watches can we really handle? Well, of those clone designs, I say no more. When it comes to something like what we’re seeing from Von Doren, though? That I definitely do not mind seeing.

Review – Von Doren Aksla
​
Von Doren is a Norwegian watch company founded by Von Doren Asbjornsen. It began on Kickstarter on December 14, 2016, and as a new company they have really taken off. Four watches are offered under the model name Aksla, named after Mt. Aksla, which overlooks the town of Aalesund.
