Some Uncles find the craft through kitchens, studios, or workshops. Benno-Lutz van der Merwe found his through sheer, unrelenting forward motion.

A competitive triathlete and Ironman athlete, Benno has qualified for the Ironman 70.3 World Championship, stood on the podium at XTERRA South Africa, and completed the 1st Ironman 70.3 Durban — all while maintaining the precise commitment to craft that makes an Uncle an Uncle.

Built different. Driven different. Committed to the craft in a way that doesn't require explanation — only results.
