One of my favorite booths during the last Brightspot Market was Daniel Wellington. As I stepped in, I felt like I was entering someone’s study room. There was a wallpaper mimicking wall to floor bookshelves, old leather armchair, antique writing desk, old books and other vintage knickknacks. Then of course, we got to see what was really on display, which were the Daniel Wellington watches.
This Swedish brand has an interesting story behind it. Quoted from the website, 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, which he’d kept from his years in the British army. His name? Well, Daniel Wellington, of course.
