Our story

Fjordson Watches was founded late 2016 by me, Roy. Ever since I was a little kid, I've been fascinated by the fine craftsmanship of watches.  

Haven broken a couple of watches, I began my search of purchasing a watch that consisted out of premium materials. Since I'm also a strict vegetarian, I didn't want to buy a watch from a brand that also sold leather straps. To my surprise, there were no brands that could live up to my needs. The idea of Fjordson was born. 

Fjordson Watches combines minimalistic Scandinavian design with the robustness of Swiss made watches. Next to this, none of our watches straps contain animal skin. We're proud to say that we're part of the Peta-Approved Vegan community.

Next to being part of the Peta-Approved Vegan community, we are constantly looking for ways to give back. In addition to producing our products in an ethical way in Europe and Switzerland, we donate 5% of our turnover to Wildlife Rescue Centre/Natuurhulpcentrum Opglabbeek. 

Wildlife Rescue Centre/Natuurhulpcentrum Opglabbeek is a centre for the rescue and rehabilitation of wild animals. Day by day they try not only to help wild animals, but also to enhance environmental awareness by means of education or actions to the benefit of nature.

The main activities are:

• To give shelter to sick and injured indigenous wild animals, to nurse them and prepare them for their return to the wild
• To give shelter to exotic animals that were confiscated by governmental services
• To give shelter to exotic pets that were given up by their owner
• To place exotic animals in specialized shelters

We want to support the centre to keep on growing so that they can help even more animals.
