Charting Innovation: Joining Diederik van Golen on His Watchmaking Journey with Volan Watches

Diederik van Golen’s name is not an unfamiliar one in the world of horology. Having built a distinguished reputation in the watch industry over the years, the Dutchman’s decision to spearhead another venture in watches has stirred up anticipation and excitement among enthusiasts. Golen’s expertise, shaped by his rich experiences and thorough knowledge of the industry, is at the heart of his latest triumph - Volan Watches.

Proudly reflecting his Dutch heritage, Volan Watches are a testament to his relentless pursuit of perfection. As a protagonist at various watchmaking events within the Netherlands and international expositions like the Geneva Watch Days, Golen’s return to the realm of horology about a year and a half ago has been characterised by unmistakable flair and ingenuity. His latest masterpiece, Volan Watches, has already made its inaugural voyage, with shipments smoothly finding their way to satisfied clients.

The genesis of Volan Watches stems from a serendipitous discovery during Golen’s university days. A vintage tire watch from the 1950s, with its unique aesthetics, caught his attention and sowed the seeds for what is now Volan Watches. This reflection of historical artistry within a modern palette is what sets Volan Watches apart, enlivening the industry with fascinating novelties.
