WHY I started ARTIZ Watches

Hey, I'm Ruben. I'm the founder of ARTIZ Watches. In my eyes your watch is the most unique piece of your outfit and it tells a lot about you as a person. When I was looking for a new watch, I was looking for a watch that felt special and was not a dime a dozen kind of watch. I was looking for an unique watch that suited me as an unique person. I quickly realised that pretty much every watch that I personally perceived as special is very expensive, for example a Rolex or AP. This led me to the idea to create my own watch brand. One that creates unique, art-driven watches and gives people the same special feeling as wearing an expensive watch, but I wanted to make them affordable.

After owning multiple boring companies I realised I wanted to create a company that I have real passion for. I wanted to combine my creativity, with my passion for traveling, with my desire to world-build a brand to create a truly unique product. Soon, ARTIZ Watches was created.
