Inspired by the beauty and infinite vastness of the Arctic, in 2008 the watch brand Bering was born. A homage to the pure, breathtaking landscape of the northernmost part of the globe, Rene Kaerskov and his two business partners Michael Witt Johansen and Lars Gram-Skjønnemann created a watch brand with a timeless, clean and durable design. The brand is named after Vitus Bering, as its founders were inspired by his daring exploits. A life lead in the pursuit of unknown lands, Bering was a Danish explorer and sailor during the late 17th early 18th century. The explorer was the first European to land on the shores of Alaska.
Guided by an appreciation and love for the continent, Bering understands the importance of wildlife and habitat conservation. The brand has led many charity campaigns which have focused on preserving the environment. Bering’s watches are intrinsically connected to the ethereal beauty of the Arctic. Simplistic clear dials and a streamlined silhouette mimic the gleaming ice-covered landscape. In addition to the crisp clean designs, the brand uses highly durable high-class materials.
Bering’s Classic collection has set an unprecedented standard for the brand. The models are refined and classy with a modern design. Ranging from having an ultra-smart to a more casual look, all the watches still hold the distinct Bering charm. A versatile collection, the timepieces are ideal to be worn every day as an elegant accessory or during formal and evening events.

An ideal dress watch to add a splash of colour to any outfit without overpowering the overall look. The polished steel case is kept silver to contrast the vibrant red of the Milanese bracelet.
