Calgari Watches: Transforming Urban Vibes into Accessible Luxury Timepieces from the Heart of Amsterdam

Embarking from Amsterdam, Calgari Watches is ready to redefine affordable luxury with its meticulously crafted chronographs infused with the essence of city culture. Launched in 2019 with a vision to make luxury feel personal and everyday classy, this new entrant in the watchmaking realm is set out to navigate through a territory where lofty luxury and high-strung mechanical masterpieces dominate the scene. Tim Wellenberg, the brand’s founder, sees Calgari filling a void where luxury meets relatability, offering timepieces that mirror customers’ everyday life in the city.

Co-founder Vincent Bakker elucidates on the labor of love and creativity that has gone into the crafting of Calgari’s debut collection. Drawing inspiration from the iconic watches of past eras, the brand weaves a tale about its city, forming wearable art that connects wearers to their local roots. A specific model, the Dimora Panda, reinvents mid-century styling with a modern twist, blending simplicity with nuance. Calgari might be the city’s new kid on the watchmaking block, but it is carving its niche with a refreshing take on luxury timepieces, fusing design, culture, and accessibility with a touch of Dutch elegance.
