At Montredo, we aim to help wherever we can. For example, if someone has acquired a chic Daniel Wellington but is now looking for an alternative, we are happy to send our experts from the In-house Upgrade Brigade into action. Without wanting to bash the successful fashion brand too much, we feel it is our duty to give you a few more reasons why you should part with your Daniel Wellington – or not buy it at all.
But the huge success of Daniel Wellington also shows a positive side: Even in times of Smart Watches there still seems to be a need for classic wristwatches amongst young people. So, here are a few nice alternatives to Daniel Wellington.
Great watchmaking tradition, Swiss-made quartz movement and an absolutely fair price. The Tissot Everytime can be seen as the ideal introduction to the world of traditional quality watches – minimalist design included.
The Fairfield from Timex offers a particularly favourable alternative. Many people do not even know that the history of Timex goes back to the year 1854. American watchmaking history for the small-of-wallet. The version with blue dial and mesh band is available here.
Further Swiss quality is available from Hamilton – just like Tissot, a part of the Swatch Group. Those who would like to spend a little more money can get a lot of watch for their money at the traditional brand originally founded in 1892 in Lancaster (Pennsylvania). The Intra-Matic is an excellent high-quality alternative to Daniel Wellington.
When we speak of watches in the Bauhaus style, the Max Bill by Junghans should not be missing. Designed after the famous kitchen clock by product designer and Bauhaus representative Max Bill, it is virtually the original Bauhaus clock aesthetic. You won’t get much more tradition and your own piece of design history elsewhere.
The Orient Bambino has long been one of the absolute favourites of the watch scene. A mechanical in-house caliber, a large selection of different variants and the traditional brand behind the watch, ensure enthusiasm amongst fans of affordable automatic watches.
With all these suggestions everyone should find his personal alternative to Daniel Wellington.
