Van Speyk watches from the Netherlands

Posted on 24 October 2018 at 9:11 AM

The Dutch watch brand from Speyk is still relatively new on the radar. It is only 7 years old but produces very interesting watches. The brand originated from a partnership between entrepreneurs. They did not find what they were looking for in the existing watch brands. The brand owes its name to lieutenant Jan Carel van Speyk, an important hero in Dutch history. Van Speyk was born in 1802 in Amsterdam. He started training as a tailor, but ended up as a lieutenant at sea. Instead of surrendering when his ship is attacked by a group of Antwerp insurgents, he decides to blow up his ship and thus also himself. With this a hero was born. By linking the name of Lieutenant Van Speyk to this young Dutch watch brand, Van Speyk emphasizes its Dutch identity and national pride.
