It was a chance encounter around the world that sparked Daniel Wellington’s idea. During this journey, our founder Filip Tysander met an intriguing British gentleman with impeccable yet unpretentious style. The man had a particular fondness for his vintage watches with old NATO straps marked by time. “Your name, sir?” Daniel Wellington. Inspired by the timeless style of his new acquaintance, Filip decided to create his own line of watches. Minimalist and refined, the classic design with interchangeable straps are endowed with great charm. Now, a few years later, this design continues to be an important part of what makes Daniel Wellington so special.
