Daniel Wellington Arrives Stateside

By Cator Sparks Published December 21, 2019

Watches are a big accessory for men these days, as we have previously reported. But many are way over our budget limitations. When we discovered Daniel Wellington we were stoked to find something so classic and cool but figured they would be in the baller price range. When the sales associate told us they range from $195-$225 we took another look.

Hailing from Sweden, the watch company was founded by Filip Tysander in 2011. Daniel Wellington is already one of Sweden’s most popular brands selling in more than 200 stores and recently they decided to roll out in the U.S. The name of the company hails from a man Filip randomly met who had such incredible style he decided to name his company after him. Filip always noticed that Mr. Wellington wore his Rolex on an old Nato strap, hence the wide variety of straps available.

Nato straps, by the way, originated in the British Navy where divers would use the strong nylon straps over their wet suits. It got it’s name because the strap has a NSN or NATO stock number which identifies this certain type of strap.

The watches themselves are clean in design, thin and come in 40mm and 36mm allowing men and women to choose the size that fits them perfectly. The watches have a silver or rose gold casing featuring Quartz Japan Citizen 1L22 movement and all are water resistant.

Now is the perfect time to layer with UNTUCKit spring pieces

The spring collection for UNTUCKit is stocked with seasonal pieces

As the April showers come to a close, the May flowers will be in full bloom. While that sounds like a great time of year (unless, of course, you struggle with allergies), there is one thing that stubbornly sticks around this time of year, especially if you are north of the Mason-Dixon Line, and that is the cold snaps. The unpredictability of the spring means you are bound to have those days where you are a bit chilly in the morning and a little warm in the afternoon. The best way to combat this little problem is with the subtle art of layering. UNTUCKit is known for creating some of the most comfortable shirts of the last decade and a half, and they have released a spring collection that makes layering the simplest it's ever been.

We're living in a world of ever-evolving technology. While we look at trends from the past and see that we're pulling from yesterday to curate a stylish aesthetic, there's no doubt that technology propels us forward. Now, we were promised flying cars by 2015 in the movie Back to the Future, and we fell short of that. However, artificial intelligence is still surging forward and changing the way nearly every industry does business. Hockerty took the path of utilizing AI models to showcase their new spring and summer collection with diverse LLM models from different ages and backgrounds, ensuring it works for everyone. The Hockerty SS25 Collection is redefining classics with fabrics of the future and putting linen front and center.

Huckberry sends people on the adventure of a lifetime with the Explorer’s Grant

Find your inner explorer with Huckberry's help

We were never meant to drive a desk. We were never designed to spend our days in a cubicle. We were designed to live under the sky with the sun and the stars able to stare down on us. We have long since forged a world of comfort, with customs of living indoors, safe from the dangerous sun and the deadly predators that roam at night. And ever since we forged that world, we've started to lose our connection to the great outdoors. That is why Huckberry is one of the most important brands for a man looking to reconnect with and recapture the spirit of our ancestors. But combining explorer's wear with fashion wasn't enough for Huckberry, they also want to send you on the adventure of a lifetime. They just wrapped up the fifth edition of the Huckberry Explorer's Grant, sending "John B. from North Carolina" on one of five life-changing adventures.
