Interview with Chris Telley

Question: Can you tell us about the Kapten & Son range?

Chris Telley: At Kapten we have our beautiful Highland range that launches in March with five styles ranging from $99. Our Classic range is our first range which has interchangeable straps and we've just launched our PURE Watch range; we had a limited edition of 1,000 watches which sold out in just under seven days.


Question: The Kapten & Son range is new in Australia; can you tell us about the introduction?

Chris Telley: Kapten & Son is new in Australia and originated in Germany and that is where we cut our teeth. The brand has been around for two years and we've developed a good following on Instagram which is at 490,000 – they are a great crowd.

Question: What are some of the challenges you faced bringing Kapten & Son to Australia?

Chris Telley: Australia is a much smaller market and the people here are a lot smarter (laughs – I shouldn't say that) what I mean is they are a lot more savvy with brands. We've had a lot of interest from Asia, that's an emerging market which has gone from third-world to first in a couple of years, it's all been very interesting.


Question: Do you have a favourite Kapten & Son product?

Chris Telley: I am pretty bias but I'd have to say the black Pure watch is one of my favourites; it's the newest kid on the block.
