De "Bulang" in Bulang and Sons

Bernhard Bulang

BERNHARD BULANG - De "Bulang" in Bulang and Sons

Excerpt from an interview with Bernhard:

"I was a vintage watch collector. I was a connoisseur perhaps, but I never wanted to be a watch dealer, maybe also because of the association that comes with it, haha.
So how did I get into this? Because of my passion for vintage watches, and the possibilities that the internet opened in these days, I created and started writing a personal blog and was active on several watch topic related fora under the name "Bullibeer". Just for fun and out of passion. As a profession I had my own Design Agency, so there was nothing more to it, it was just my way of spending my free time.

But then, it became popular suddenly, and it was then that people started to ask all kind of questions, and asked if they could buy some of my watches. I only buy high quality watches since obviously that is what I want to wear myself. Ofcourse these beauties are easy to sell again, so when I sold some and bought new ones for my private collection, it repeated, again and again. Before I realized, Bernhard the Watch dealer was born, hahaha.

I still have the mindset of a private collector, and I believe that was and is my success. I really think I sell great watches (but judge for yourself), and at least it stil must hurt a little bit each time when I sell them. :-) If one day it doesn't anymore, I will stop."

De "Son" in Bulang and Sons

Berend Bulang

BEREND BULANG - De "Son" in Bulang and Sons

As the son of founder and owner Bernhard Bulang, it's no surprise that Berend is a lover of vintage watches. From a young age, he immersed himself in the world of watches through fairs and gatherings such as the famous Passion Meetings, surrounded by some some of the best vintage watch experts, and stunning watches in the world. You may already know him from his early days as a 12-year-old boy running the Bulang and Sons booth at multiple watch fairs in Germany. But his true passion is finding and handling exceptional vintage watches, and it's no surprise that he has become a true expert in the field of vintage watches. Not just as a son, but also as a partner of Bernhard, he seeks vintage and neo-vintage watches for passionate collectors worldwide.

An external member of the wider Bulang and Sons family since 2017, Danny is always on the lookout for the most beautiful watches and buys and sells with a genuine heart for collectors.

Bernhard and Danny are kindred spirits and share a passion for truly unique timepieces and other well-designed products with a soul.

Cool Guy that loves Watches

Guy Gense

GUY GENSE - Operations & Sales Watch Department

Beware of this 'Guy', he leads operations and sales in our watch department. Guy graduated in Business Administration, but at the same time, he's been a passionate watch enthusiast for about ten years and used to be a well-known customer of Bulang and Sons. When he saw Team Bulang growing, he seized the opportunity to join us and now plays a key role in the operations of the watch department. If you contact us for information about a watch, it's usually Guy who responds; when he's not busy coordinating with our watchmakers, researching new watches, and planning upcoming watch collections with the team. However, be warned, Guy loves watches and his enthusiasm is contagious... you'll eventually want to buy that special piece!
