The 18k gold bevelled and hand-engraved bridge is inspired by the Midgard Serpent, one of the most prominent creatures in Mythology, and is intriguingly juxtaposed with the dark case and flashes of red details. The eye is drawn to the classical beauty of the engraved balance bridge at 10, with its large balance wheel. What immediately strikes you is the inverted movement, based on the Grossmann caliber 107.0, heavily modified through a network of confidential partners in Glashütte. This will be a series of nine pieces – two of which might already have been spoken for, and intrinsically linked with the dark melodic music of Trivium, Scandinavian Mythology and pure vision that has been many years in the making. The project is as secretive as it is brash, with a 41mm black DLC case (well, what else?), a dramatic openworked dial and precious metals on show. The Ragnarok is the start of Tidemann as a producer of own-brand watches, with a fiery spirit and infused with the delicacy of German craftsmanship and a love for large balances. How does this mix with business meetings at Baselworld and SIHH, a personal relationship with Walter Lange, and translate into an intricate Glashütte caliber within a fierce black DLC design evoking Armageddon? As for his wristgame, he’s double-wristing of course. You wouldn’t think so, but the dapper Tidemann - short navy trench coat and the haircut of a financial consultant - is deeply into the darker side of rock, playing guitar from a young age and forming close friendships with luminaries on the scene like Matt Heafy, lead singer and guitarist from popular Orlando-based metal band Trivium.
