Who is Daniel Wellington?
The story behind Daniel Wellington begins with a trip half way
around the globe where Filip Tysander, the founder of Daniel
Wellington, met an intriguing gentleman from the British Isles.
The man had the inspiring ability to be gentlemanly but still
relaxed and unpretentious. He had an impeccable style, and loved
to wear his Rolexes on old weathered Nato straps. His name? Well,
Daniel Wellington, of course.
A strong friendship emerged between the two, and our founder was
inspired not only by the man's many great life stories but also
by his class and timeless style of fashion. As we now know, he
was so inspired that he decided to name his line of watches after
him. We believe that we have managed to capture a bit of Daniel
and his style in our watches, and a year to date, we trust that
Daniel would be proud of what we have achieved.
The Daniel Wellington Watch
The preppy trend is bigger than before. And while there are many
big players in the fashion industry that caters to preppy needs,
such as Ralph Lauren, Gant and Brooks Brothers, we felt that
there was an empty space in the watch market. There was something
missing.
We believe that Daniel Wellington fills that gap. Our vision is
that when someone thinks of a preppy dressed person, he or she is
wearing a Daniel Wellington watch.
The watch design
Daniel Wellington loved to wear his Rolex watches on old Nato
straps. We liked the idea and feel of the mix so much that we
wanted to incorporate the idea into our own line of watches.
However, we felt it important to make the watch thin and elegant
- we wanted a clean design, without too many features, that would
look good with the different patterns and colours of the
definitive Nato straps.
After returning from his trip, Filip sat down and started
looking at different watches he liked himself. It was important
that he loved the watch personally, or he kfresh that he could
never sell it and be proud over it. He liked to use Daniel
Wellington as a type of quality assurance and would often ask
himself; would this be good enough for Daniel? Could he be seen
wearing one of our watches on the beaches of some remote island?
Slowly but surely, awatch emerged. It was thin, refined and
ideally round. It was minimalistic and did not have too many
details. We believe that the traditional, yet crisp design blends
together ideally with the colourful Nato strap and will appeal to
almost everyone with a sense for definitive and timeless design.
The Nato strap
The straps themselves are an important part of the watch. Nato
straps originate from the British navy, where divers would use
the strong nylon straps over their wet suits. Even though they
were originally made to avoid rust, we love the look and
versatility of them. that is why we wanted to create a line of
different straps with different colours and patterns - but all
with a strong bond to the British Isles. Sean Connery, another
big fan of the Nato strap, wore one in the James Bond movie
Goldfinger.
A watch for every occasion
The Daniel Wellington watch is suitable for every occasion.
Regardless if you are attending a black tie event, playing a game
of tennis or enjoying a sunny day at the beach club - the Daniel
Wellington is a beautiful companion. Not only that, but with
interchangeable straps you can have a different watch for every
day of the week.
