The 9 TO 5 Collection - Authentic Style for your Business and Life

At Bulang and Sons, we aim to inspire our clients with the range of products we offer. And we strongly believe that individual taste leads to the most authentic style. With this in mind, we have created the 9 TO 5 Collection – a hand-picked selection of beautiful and rare items to brighten up your everyday life in the office and beyond!

It’s the Friction, baby

We’ve long been advocates of a certain pleasant friction when it comes to menswear and style. A Rolex Daytona on a nylon Nato strap, worn with a rugged jacket. A thin elegant strap on a Submariner and a cashmere shirt. Or a vintage Le Tanneur leather tray next to the laptop on your desk. Life’s a big mix, and you’re the DJ!

Business always Personal

Bernhard Bulang has always lived this way, and it is also what drives the company. Speaking of driving – the scooter you see in the exclusive pictures for the 9 to 5 Collection is not a rented prop. It belongs to team member Giacomo who rides it on the regular. In our store, we sell what we like and use in our own everyday lives.

A life more Extraordinary

This is also what makes this latest collection of exclusive leather watch straps, rare bags, vintage stationery and interior design objects tick. These are all items directly inspired by what we love to surround ourselves with, sourced from independent artisans and designers or savvy vintage dealers with an eye for the extraordinary. Many of the items are directly out of Bernhard’s private Collection.

Exclusive curated items that inspire us. At home and in the office.

Straps that spell Business

First things first – the straps. Within the 9 to 5 Collection, we offer a range of new leather watch strap designs with a clear business touch – but again, for us that doesn’t translate to boredom. In the colour palette of the range, there are variations of black and grey and brown, but there’s also more daring tones like blue and brass.

Shaped for Success

All straps in the range carry the boxed stitch for a business feel, but the clear white lines on the leather also add a cool vintage touch that works a treat with vintage and modern watches. Furthermore, all straps in the 9 to 5 Collection are shaped a bit thinner than most of our other straps for that certain extra comfort and elegance.

Slender does it

And then there’s the new slender Siena and Seal brown leather straps. Created from the same high end leather as all our leather straps, they are cut super thin and feature no side stitching, but are heat pressed at the edges and the keepers. Such delicate details make these very light and extra elegant straps even more refined.

Nato be Standard

The Deluxe Nylon Nato Straps we’ve chosen for this collection also work a treat. As you can tell from the images – combining a nice suit with a great watch and a Nato strap is such a strong style statement. It’s that contrast between ruggedness and elegance that makes you forget about standard black Croco straps for good.

Bag to Business

Every business man needs a bag that means business. Bernhard has selected some very exclusive bags for the collection, most of them available only once here. And again, the choices reflect his personal taste and habits, as he has owned and used – and loved – these models over the years. Just one example in his own words:

„The Vertical Document Louis Vuitton bag is the same bag I have been carrying daily for the last year. It’s so cool as it is not typical Monogram Louis Vuitton. It really has a feeling of individualism and understated coolness. I love it as it is not that everyday LV bag. Most people would’t even know it to be LV. Which makes it even more interesting.“

The Goyard Ambassador PM Briefcase Grey – has been my go to for over 1 year. Absolute understated coolness! Shop it here

Not your regular LV

Bernhard also searched for that exclusive LV Kangaroo bag to be part of the collection: „It is so not typical Louis Vuitton. But at the same time it also embodies the company’s values with the great construction details and that amazing soft material. It’s Louis Vuitton for people in the know. Not screaming LV, more like – whispering!“

We can do both: Vintage …

There are quite a few more products in this fresh new collection that will become valued additions for the workplace and beyond – besides all the vintage writing and office tools, menswear staples and interior design objects, there are two new exclusive Bulang and Sons products that we’d like to shine a light on here.

Don’t miss this huge plane – one of my personal favorites – 85 cm wide eye-catcher from the past. You can get it here

1960S OMEGA ROCKET LINE ELECTROMECHANICAL TABLE CLOCK you can find here

1960s Jaeger LeCoultre 8 Day Desk Clock – here

Nynke Bulang – Could not care less about luxury, could not care more about customer service

… and Exclusive

Our very own Little Black Book has seen an update with blank pages and a zip satchel for cards and papers in the cover. It will become a regular companion, just as much as our new Mug featuring a rubber lid. Sipping hot latte or green tea from a real porcelain mug is not only environmentally sensible – it’s also an absolute pleasure!

Back to your daily routine

Which brings us right back to your daily routine between the office, travelling and the home. This is what the 9 TO 5 Collection is all about – being yourself in your natural habitat, making your own choices and doing things just the way you like it.

We hope you will find some personal highlights for your daily business in the 9 TO 5 Collection!
