There is an extended cut of the film running about 159 minutes vs the theatrical version runs 152 minutes. It was first shown on TV networks (ABC in the US, several international broadcasts had the same extended showing) in 2004. The 2009 Ultimate Edition DVD/Blu-ray release includes this cut as well. The Philosopher is my fifth Nordgreen watch and I’ve had nothing but great unboxing experiences here. Case It seems like every day a new brand is popping up, slinging the bare minimum quality for maximum profit. Whatever the reason, minimalist watches are a popular choice for those looking for a timeless and versatile timepiece.

I’d like to think the crystal here at least has a sapphire coating given the price, but my guess is that the Philosopher uses mineral glass. In the past, Nordgreen used to say they use a Japanese movement, but they didn’t give any details about which one. Now they’ve decided to be transparent about it – the movement is made by Miyota.This small detail makes a big impact on how the watch looks on your wrist. Even if you’re a guy with a more slender wrist, I’d recommend the 40mm because it wears more like a 38mm or 39mm watch. Crown Harry is selected as a fourth champion, even though he maintains he didn’t nominate himself. Harry successfully manages to steal a golden egg from a dragon and saves two people from some vicious underwater beasts, navigating the first two trials with ease. The Philosopher features a laser-etched horizontal hour-glass. I spent some time thinking about the possible meanings of the etching-—it’s called the Philosopher for a reason. And knowing that legendary designer, Jakob Wagner is behind it, I assumed there had to be a lesson to uncover. The Miyota quartz movement is a workhorse and one of the most widely used quartz movements in the world. Although there are some arguably better movements out there, like the ones from Citizen, Seiko, or Ronda, the accuracy is comparable. Quartz movements are the most accurate of all the movements and are estimated to only be around 15 seconds off per month.

The watch was delivered within two days via UPS express delivery service. It arrived in a standard-looking cardboard box; however, upon closer inspection, the Nordgreen logo was visible on the top, and a message on the inner side of the cover noted that the box was made from FSC-certified paper, which originates from responsibly managed forests. The brand name is a blend of two words “Nord” and “green.” “Nord” represents the company’s Nordic roots and its design philosophy, which is known for functionality, simplicity, and clean lines. The Nordic design principles also dictate that things should be made in harmony with nature and that things should be made to last rather than be replaced—hence the word “green.” The reunited trio learns from Luna Lovegood’s father that the symbol in Hermione’s book (which Dumbledore left her) represents the Deathly Hallows: the three magical artefacts which make a wizard the master of death. Lovegood then reveals his daughter has been kidnapped, and he was intending to hand them over in exchange, so they escape into the wilderness once more as the Lovegood home is destroyed by Death Eaters. The crown is tapered with bevels at the tip for easier grip. The simple 3-point articulation makes it easy to change the date and time. I’ve tried a few watches where changing the date presented big problems with the watch. I am not purposefully ragging on DW, they just happen to be the most well known Scandinavian fashion watch brand and are similar price point as Nordgreen.Nordgreen watches come with a 2-year warranty and a 14-day return policy, which is in line with other well-established watch brands. Brand reputation Slightly less bright colour to red but attention-grabbing all the same. Brightly coloured that it draws attention to itself and stands out from the crowd. It’s the only watch in my collection that has a shorter lug-to-lug length than case diameter. This makes for an interesting case design that reduces the visual impact of the watch when you’re wearing it. I’ve been wearing the Philosopher for a little over a month now and compared to my radio-controlled watch, it’s only 5 seconds late. The country of assembly Dolores tightens her grip on the school, and Harry forms a secret group called “Dumbledore’s Army” in the Room of Requirement. He begins training students to protect themselves from the oncoming threat.
