Simple, not so simple … ´Simply Paul`! Looki

Simple, not so simple … ´Simply Paul`!

Looking at > especially simple < watches from Paul one can never be sure that he got it all – all the details he created on his own. He never runs out of ideas and has the capabilities to make it happen – almost everything in-house and by his own. On top he is willing and always was to share his knowledge and skills with others and quite a few brands are (should be?!) more than happy what he did for them – offering solutions, movements, well-trained people or (well meant) suggestions.

Quite often you get more than you asked for > which is kind of super rare these days, isn´t it < and never you will get anything noisy – as noisy advertising or puffery, because it´s just not him.

For today it´s three watches from Paul (only) but we highly recommend to have a look what he recently created together with Anny Weber for the Waterford Festival of Time – in case you missed it.
