Company History[edit]
The company was founded in 1989 by
Henrik and Charlotte Jorst, who
had moved from Denmark to New York in 1986, when Henrik Jorst was appointed
U.S. sales manager for Danish brewery Carlsberg. In
1989 the couple decided to establish their own business, as U.S.
representatives for a Danish manufacturer of corporate branded business gift
watches and for exclusive Jacob
Jensen designer watches.
Having found a Danish-owned clock and watch manufacturer,
Comtech Watches, that could manufacture watches at a lower price through its
factory in Hong Kong, the Jorsts designed a few corporate watches of their own,
which they showed at a corporate gift fair in New York 1991. However, at the
fair they were encouraged by several retailers to market the watches under
their own brand instead of chasing the corporate gift market. Thus the brand Skagen
Denmark was born, taking
its name from the Danish fishing village of Skagen. The company
logo symbolizes the meeting of the Skagerrak and
the Kattegat sea
bodies of water at Skagen, the northernmost settlement of Denmark and a fishing
port.
