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.
