4 BILLION YEARS IN THE MAKING
The meteorite stone used on TIDEVAND ELEMENT METEORITE comes from the Swedish “Muonionalusta” meteorite.
The Muonionalusta meteorite was found in 1906 at the Swedish/Finnish border, near the village of “Kitkiöjärvi.”
Isotope readings show that the Muonionalusta meteorite is more than 4 billion years old, and hit earth around 1 million years ago.

Form meets purpose
Curved lines and functional finishes
Water-resistant to 20 ATM (200 metres), TIDEVAND Element is built for both functionality and durability. All key contact surfaces, including the bezel edge and crown, feature a brushed finish to ensure a secure grip.
The hands, indices and bezel are filled with Swiss Super-LumiNova BL10 Grade X1, providing exceptional brightness and a long-lasting afterglow for excellent legibility in low-light conditions.
DESIGNED FOR REAL-WORLD
CONDITIONS
On the TIDEVAND Element Meteorite, the bezel insert is crafted from tungsten, an exceptionally hard and highly scratch-resistant metal. As one of the most exposed parts of a watch, the bezel is particularly susceptible to everyday wear. Tungsten helps maintain its pristine appearance over time.
The 120-click unidirectional bezel features a subtly undercut edge for a secure grip, even with wet hands. A spring-loaded mechanism provides crisp, precise clicks, while integrated crown guards protect the crown and complement the balanced case design.
Premium series 9015
Automatic movement
TIDEVAND is powered by the Miyota 9015, a Japanese automatic movement from Miyota's Premium Series collection.
Operating at a frequency of 28,800 beats per hour (BPH), the movement provides a smooth sweep of the seconds hand and a power reserve of approximately 42 hours.
IT's ALL ABOUT
the details
The case and bracelet combine brushed and polished surfaces, with polished chamfered edges along the bracelet, bezel and lugs creating subtle contrasts that highlight the watch's geometry.
A color-matched crown insert and a date display matched to the dial further contribute to the cohesive design.
BUILT
For comfort
Introduced with TIDEVAND Element, the Contour Grey bracelet takes inspiration from the integrated steel bracelet designs that gained popularity during the 1970s.
Its H-shaped links combine brushed and polished surfaces, creating a distinctive appearance while allowing the bracelet to sit comfortably on the wrist.
The bracelet features solid end links and our signature clasp with integrated, tool-free micro-adjustment, allowing the fit to be adjusted throughout the day as the wrist naturally expands and contracts with changes in temperature.

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.
