Posted in Outdoor Gear, Watches by Jason Mitchell - 06.30.2009

Introducing an entirely new watch lineup from Suunto–the Elementum Series.

    A quick update from a recent press release on the Suunto Elementum watch lineup:

    NEW YORK, NY – July 9, 2009 – It was a star-studded affair as Suunto launched its new Elementum Collection in New York City last night. A couple hundred, including celebrity guests and national media, enjoyed the domestic unveiling of the Suunto Elementum Line.

    The party was hosted by New York Knicks Chris Duhon, John Starks and Gotham Magazine. “It was great to see all the positive reaction,” said Suunto Marketing Director Nate Randle, “We spent a lot of time developing the Elementum line and to see people excited about the watches is rewarding.”

    Suunto, a world leader in precision sports instruments, showed off the three new stylish timepieces designed to navigate the world and turn heads in the office boardroom. The urban-inspired collection is made exclusively in Finland and comes in three different styles, the Aqua, Terra and Ventus.

    “Each timepiece reflects our deep knowledge in diving, mountaineering and sailing,” says Juha Pinomaa, President of Suunto. “This expansion derives from a unique insight into the other, more urban, part of athletes’ lives; an understanding that allows us to develop watches that are modern and stylish, yet still very functional, for all of life’s situations.”

    The Suunto Elementum is will be available at Barney’s New York and Tourneau shops all across the nation later this month.

    I just got word that the new Suunto Elementum Aqua watch received the highest award given by International Forum Design:

    Here are the details from Suunto:

    OGDEN, UT – February 2010 – Suunto’s Elementum Aqua has won the prestigious iF Product Design Award 2010, beating out nearly 2,500 other entries from 39 countries.

    “This is a great honor for us and we highly value this symbol for superior design, which we have received for the second year in a row,” said Juha Pinomaa, President of Suunto, “Design is one of our brand cornerstones. This award is a great recognition of our long-term and persistent work in designing products to meet the specific needs of our customers.”

    The iF Product Design Award is one of the world’s oldest, best-known design competitions. The annual competition assembles an international jury of design experts to examine and test products. This year, the entries were judged on design quality, workmanship, choice of material, degree of innovation and functionality.

    The Elementum Aqua is part of Suunto’s stylish and urban-inspired Elementum watch collection, which combines excellent craftsmanship and precision digital technology to create a perfect balance of form and function.

    The Elementum collection consists of three specifically engineered series: Elementum Aqua, designed for diving; Elementum Terra, designed for mountaineering; and Elementum Ventus, designed for sailing. The names directly translate to Water, Earth, and Wind, which are the three elements that surround the activities Suunto Elementum is inspired by and designed to help navigate through.

    Elementum watches are designed and manufactured in Finland, guaranteeing the perfect integration of design and engineering work that creates a true Suunto watch – a watch that is credible and functional outdoors, and an eye-catcher in the city.

    The iF Online Exhibition, with all the award-winning entries, and the iF Product Design Award Yearbook 2010 will be available on the iF website, http://www.ifdesign.de/index_e, beginning March 2nd. Packed with products chosen by the jury and jury statements about each category, this exhibition sets the standard for international contemporary design.
