TW Steel Watches – Bold Dutch Design and Oversized Watchmaking Since 2005
TW Steel Watches have become synonymous with bold design, oversized cases and confident styling. Founded in the Netherlands in 2005 by father-and-son team Ton and Jordy Cobelens, TW Steel – short for "The Watch in Steel" – was created with a simple vision: to produce watches that stand out from the crowd. At a time when many brands focused on traditional sizing and conservative aesthetics, TW Steel embraced large case dimensions, distinctive styling and strong wrist presence, helping pioneer the modern oversized watch movement.
Today, TW Steel is recognised worldwide for creating watches that combine Dutch creativity with reliable Swiss and Japanese movement technology. The brand's collections are inspired by motorsport, aviation, adventure and modern lifestyle culture, offering a diverse range of chronographs, sports watches and statement timepieces. From the iconic Canteen collection to the sophisticated CEO Tech range, TW Steel continues to attract enthusiasts who appreciate individuality, confidence and bold watch design.
