Styrk Fjærtoft Trondsen — watch collection

About Styrk Fjærtoft Trondsen’s watch collection

Styrk Fjærtoft Trondsen is a Norwegian television presenter and photographer who has built a reputation across both sides of the camera. Known to Norwegian audiences through his television work, Trondsen brings a trained visual eye to everything he does — a sensibility shaped as much by his background in photography as by his on-screen career. His work with a Nikon and his presence in front of a broadcast lens represent two sides of the same creative coin, and that dual identity as both storyteller and image-maker gives him a distinctive presence in Norwegian media.

When it comes to watches, the Styrk Fjærtoft Trondsen watch collection leans toward Rolex, and specifically toward the more considered end of what the Geneva manufacturer produces. Trondsen has been spotted wearing the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona reference 116509 — a version built in 18k white gold, carrying a black dial with diamond hour markers and the brand's signature white gold tachymeter bezel. The 116509 is a manually wound chronograph based on the Rolex calibre 4130, and it sits firmly in the upper tier of Daytona production. It is not a watch that competes for attention through colour or size, but rather one that reveals its details — the diamond indices, the white gold case — only on closer inspection.

For a photographer who understands composition and restraint, that kind of quiet precision makes sense as a choice. The Daytona ref. 116509 was discontinued when Rolex transitioned the white gold Daytona lineup toward updated references, which gives Trondsen's example a degree of collector relevance beyond its obvious wearability. One watch in our database, but it is a considered one.
