TW Steel was founded in 2005 in the Netherlands by father and son team Jordy and Ton Cobelens. Though a fairly young brand, at only 15 years old, the Dutch watchmaker has managed to establish itself quickly amongst the competition. With Ton Cobelens’ years of experience in marketing and design and his son Jordy’s passion for business, TW steel has become an unstoppable force in the watchmaking industry. With innovation and progress at the centre of the brand’s philosophy, TW Steel’s journey has only just begun. Core Features of a TW Steel Canteen Watch: The brand sees steel as an essential component in the making of their timepieces, so they ensure they only use materials of the highest quality. TW Steel watches have a unique style. The watch design abandons “minimalism” and embraces a functional aesthetic. The Canteen line was the first TW Steel design.
