A Brief History of Bering
The idea for Bering watches came about when Danish adventurer and businessman René Kaerskov visited the North Pole in 2008. Simply overwhelmed by the beauty of the ice, he called upon his business partners Michael Witt Johansen and Lars Gram-Skjønnemann; showing them descriptions of the Arctic upon his return. The vivid descriptions inspired them to create a watch as pure, clean and beautiful as the Arctic. And from that, Bering was born! The name Bering is a homage to Danish adventurer, Vitus Bering, who sailed into an almost untouched area towards the Arctic Ocean. As well as this, he was the first European to discover Alaska. Bering watches first appeared in the UK in 2011, and since then, their success has only grown; thanks to their timeless Danish design.
