What criteria must a luxury watch meet to ‘tick all your boxes’ as a true enthusiast or collector? Naturally, every enthusiast will have their own preferences regarding the appearance of a watch. There are many possibilities in this area. For instance, luxury watches with a sporty and rugged character are available, as well as more classic designs, pilot watches, or retro watches. The preference for a particular type of watch from an aesthetic point of view is therefore very personal. There are also enthusiasts who look for a ‘special touch’ in every watch that makes it just a little different from others. Furthermore, there are other items on the checklist for many enthusiasts and collectors when it comes to purchasing a new watch.

First of all, quality; as a true enthusiast, you will want to purchase a watch that you can enjoy for as long as possible. Therefore, it is important to look at the quality of a watch's movement and the materials used in its manufacture. For instance, the use of stainless steel and very strong sapphire glass is popular, because these materials ensure that you will enjoy your watch for a long time. A watch equipped with a Swiss-made movement offers reliability and punctuality and is therefore always a good choice. The type of movement also plays a role. Do you prefer a design that operates on a battery (quartz watch), is manually wound (mechanical watch), or is powered by movement (automatic watch)?

In this article, we would like to introduce you to two watches from the collection of the Dutch brand Van Speyk watches. These watches offer everything a true enthusiast could wish for in this area. The brand stands for quality combined with competitive prices. Only high-quality materials such as 316L stainless steel and sapphire glass are used for Van Speyk watches, ensuring you choose a durable accessory. Additionally, every Van Speyk watch is equipped with a Swiss-made movement, laying an extremely solid foundation. Furthermore, various eye-catching features and special characteristics make Van Speyk watches unique. For instance, the Spirit models from this brand feature a beautiful ‘open heart’ on the dial, making the movement visible. In addition, Van Speyk watches feature a sunray or sunburst dial, creating the illusion of sunbeams. The beautiful Courage designs by Van Speyk, in turn, surprise with an elegant moon phase indicator, small seconds, and a power reserve indicator on the dial.

A fine example of a true gem from the Van Speyk collection is the Van Speyk Courage Rose CRW-LB. This watch stands out, among other things, due to the beautiful combination of the rose-colored case with the elegant brown leather strap. The case of this watch is made of stainless steel and has a thickness of 14 mm and a diameter of 41 mm. The strap is made of calfskin and equipped with a beautiful and sturdy folding clasp featuring the Van Speyk monogram. This monogram also appears on the rotor and the crown of the watch. The sunray dial of the watch is white and decorated with rose-colored accents. Furthermore, this watch is equipped with sapphire glass, so you won't easily see scratches on the glass. The movement is visible on the back of the watch case through the attractive transparent case back. The beautiful watch strap is easy to change thanks to the special quick-release system it is equipped with.

The heart of the watch is formed by a high-end Swiss-made automatic movement from the brand STP (STP2-12-63), finished with Côtes de Genève. Additionally, the movement is equipped with a Nivaflex NV mainspring and an Incabloc shock absorber. The watch also features small seconds, a power reserve indicator, and a moon phase indicator. The watch has a power reserve of 42 hours. Finally, the Van Speyk Courage Rose CRW-LB is water-resistant to 50 meters.

The second Van Speyk watch we would like to introduce to you is the Van Speyk Courage Rose CRZW-B. This is a watch that immediately catches the eye thanks to the perfect combination of technology and design. The watch features a distinctive black sunray dial, which offers a beautiful contrast with the rose-colored stainless steel case. This case has a thickness of 14 mm and a diameter of 41 mm. This design also offers water resistance up to 50 meters and a power reserve of 42 hours. At the heart of this exceptional model lies an automatic Swiss STP2-12-63 movement, finished with Côtes de Genève. Furthermore, this high-quality movement is equipped with a Nivaflex NV mainspring and an Incabloc shock absorber. What makes this watch extra special are the beautiful extras such as the small seconds, the power reserve indicator, and the original moon phase, which make the watch highly interesting not only functionally but also aesthetically. The handmade Italian calfskin watch strap with a quick-release system and folding clasp contributes to the luxurious wearing comfort and chic appearance of the watch. Naturally, the watch features strong sapphire crystal, and the transparent case back offers a beautiful view of the movement. The Van Speyk monogram is subtly incorporated into the crown, rotor, and folding clasp, reinforcing the brand's recognizable look.

We are sometimes asked what our favorite watch brands are. We can name a few, but there are brands that really stand out to us.
