The URBN22
story

ARJAN VAN DEN BOOM // Co-founder, head of brand partnerships

I’m a creative motorcycle designer and builder with a passion for watches. Thinking outside the box when it comes to custom designs in the motorcycle scene is my trademark and what I’m known for globally. My journey into the world of horology began in my teen years when I received my very first watch as a birthday gift. This gift ignited a spark in me and I took a deep dive into the history and mechanics of timepieces.

My understanding of how every detail matters in creating art pieces and the ability to see the bigger picture has led me to co-create the company’s DNA. My sense of refinement and drive to make bold statements are a part of our brand’s core values. It helps us form our own identity as we navigate our way through the market, becoming a noticeable player.

‘Explore our collection and join us in celebrating the art of timekeeping.’

Paul van Mondfrans Linden // Co-founder, head of visuals

As a photographer and video specialist, I’ve worked in photography for several years and have had the pleasure of working with numerous watch brands, resulting in a new found passion for timepieces. One thing that always bothered me, is that watches tend to be very expensive or lack a certain coolness. Surely there’s a solution to this problem, and that’s how URBN22 was born. Affordable bold and colorful statements, without any quality concessions.

As a trendsetter for the new cool, I teamed up with watch specialists to co-create URBN22: a brand that delivers high quality fashion statements, reminding you it’s time to enjoy your life. I will be taking on the responsibility of making sure this translates to any and all visual outings of the brand.

‘Like air and water, time is an essential value for our existence. You can’t buy more time with money, so don’t waste your days but make the most out of it!’
