About Ferdinand & David
The Origin
In 2016, the then students Julius Möhrle and Lennart Schulz were looking for a wristwatch.
As passionate watch lovers, quality was the first priority in the search for a suitable product. Unfortunately, they found that it was hardly possible to buy a high quality watch at a reasonable price…
Vision
On the basis of these findings, the two Hamburg-based company decided to set up its own company specialising in the manufacture of quality watches. The concept was quickly clear: “Maximum quality at the best possible price”.
Kickoff
After completing the development work, Ferdinand & David started a crowdfunding project on the Kickstarter platform to ensure series production of the Travelmasters. The project proved to be a success and production started at the end of 2018.

“Well, what can I say now? I am not a fan of quartz watches, but this one has already convinced me very much. The workmanship is right, the design is very harmonious, in short, the watch is fun. And for the price of 309,- € there is certainly no money broken, especially when I see the many other productions where you get quite a lot of scrap for quite a lot of money.”. read on…

“As I’ve said before, I can’t get enough of the dial. But that is by no means the only thing that Ferdinand & David Travelmaster can score with: The crown, the date field, the GMT function, the sapphire crystal and the high-quality workmanship are further details that set this watch apart from its competitors. Here we simply pay attention to quality when it comes to materials and production.
And all this at a price that is currently very affordable with just over 300€. For comparison: A Daniel Wellington watch costs up to 169€ depending on the model. But you get mineral glass, a very cheap quartz movement, hands without luminous material and mass production in China to name just a few details. From my side an absolute purchase recommendation for the Travelmaster! read on…
