Herefordshire, England -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/13/2010 -- In 1989, Henrik and Charlotte Jorst came to the United States from their native Denmark to follow a dream: that of owning and running their own business, to introduce the Danish lifestyle and philosophy into the lives of many. SKAGEN DESIGNS was founded by these two natives of Copenhagen on the principle that beautifully designed high-quality objects can be created at reasonable prices.

Their innovative designs are influenced by the light and spectacular surroundings of Skagen Denmark. Owners, and Denmark natives, Charlotte and Henrik Jorst and their design team are driven to create high quality, ( http://www.watchmad.co.uk ) inspirational design that will last a lifetime.

Henrik Jorst

While overseeing the design of all of our Skagen products, Henrik finds inspiration from many different arenas, continually pushing the brand to the next level, keeping our image current and yet maintaining ( http://www.watchmad.co.uk ) our true identity."

In addition, Henrik is an avid collector of classic cars. With 21 cars currently in his collection, including rare Jaguars, a Porsche, a Ferrari "Dino" and two Cadillacs, Henrik’s fascination with mechanics, from timepieces to cars, is apparent.

Henrik’s ability to excel when faced with challenge, ( http://www.watchmad.co.uk ) whether in his professional or personal life, is grounded in his distinctly Danish philosophy: "Keep it simple. Seek out what you love and doggedly pursue your passions."

And, as a champion equestrian, she manages to pursue and excel at one of her greatest passions. Today, we so often hear of women "doing it all" and Charlotte Jorst is indeed one of these women. "I don’t believe in big breaks," Charlotte explains. "I get up everyday and try to do my best. It is hard work, yes, but it’s what makes 99.9% of people successful and, at the end of the day, is ultimately ( http://www.watchmad.co.uk ) the most rewarding kind of success there is." Charlotte’s Danish roots instilled her with a love of nature that seamlessly links all aspects of her life together. Outside of the office,
