Filson Watches

We’ve definitely a soft spot for American outdoor lifestyle brands here at Coolector HQ and it is undoubtedly the case that we’re borderline obsessed with timepieces so you can understand our delight when we discovered that one of the USA’s finest outdoor accessories and lifestyle brands, Filson, had decided that now is the time to begin making timepieces and we’re thrilled to report that they certainly don’t disappoint.

With a tagline of “gear as tough as the men who wore it” you know these watches are going to deliver on the ruggedness stakes and we’re in no doubt that their design and components will impress as well. Filson have teamed up with another favourite of ours here at Coolector HQ, Shinola, to create their impeccable timepieces and you know they are in a safe pair of hands with the excellent Detroit based watchmakers.
