Stories
From Earth
Like all our watches, each piece in the Terra collection is crafted with care and attention to detail. The stones and Mother of Pearl are cut and set to highlight their natural beauty, creating dials that tell a story - stories that began deep in the earth and in the ocean’s depths.

Mother of Pearl dial
Enceladus
This model is named after Saturn's moon Enceladus, known for its stunning icy surface and reflective sheen. These are qualities echoed in this watch’s ice blue Mother of Pearl (MOP) dial.
Crafted in a mosaic pattern, the dial catches and refracts light beautifully, creating a dynamic, shimmering effect reminiscent of ice glistening under the light.
Each piece offers a unique interplay of colors and reflections, making every Enceladus truly one-of-a-kind.
Tiger's Eye
Gemstone dial
JUPITER takes inspiration from its namesake - the largest planet in our solar system, known for its striking, swirling bands and dynamic presence.
Crafted with a genuine Tiger's Eye gemstone dial, it offers a uniqe depth and a mesmerizing 3D effect.
Light plays across the dial’s natural fibrous structure, creating a beautiful, silky reflectivity that echoes Jupiter’s captivating patterns.
Shaped by
time and nature
The NORDSØ TERRA collection takes its name from “Terra,” meaning earth. Each watch is a little piece of nature, brought to life on your wrist. By using natural gemstone and Mother of Pearl dials, we’ve created pieces that are as unique as the materials themselves - each shaped over time by natural forces. No two are ever quite the same.

Our DNA
Form follows function
We are proud of our Danish design heritage, which is the source of inspiration behind our designs.
We strive to create unique timepieces with a classic yet timeless design that will stand the test of time. Our design philosophy is rooted in the 1920’s “Bauhaus” design philosophy, where form follows function.
Did you know...
In our opinion, a great design is not purely limited to aesthetics.
That is why we only use high-quality materials, such as sapphire crystal, in our products– instead of cheaper and less durable alternatives, like mineral glass.
We are a small family-run Danish micro brand with a global reach.
Our passion is to bring something new to the table - to create timepieces with a unique aesthetic, solidly rooted in our Danish design heritage.
We often say “We do not do homages” and it is a rule we live by every day in our design disciplines. We strongly believe in order to bring something new to a century old industry, we genuinely have to think outside the box: whether that being new dial layouts, case shapes, materials or manufacturing methods.
The name “Henry Archer” is a direct translation of the name of our founder and product designer Henrik Schødt, who comes from a background in the 3D- and product-visualization industry, where he has spent close to two decades working for some of the worlds biggest brands.
Our design philosophy is rooted in the 1920’s “Bauhaus” design philosophy, where form follows function.
To this very day these are keywords that are the pillars of the world famous “Scandinavian minimalism” that has influenced architecture and many other industries around the world.
In our view, a great design comes from using clean lines and pure geometric forms.
All of the above allows the design to “breathe” and bring out the surface finishing and materials used.
