Thanks Don

Martin Pauli was an incredibly charismatic gentleman. He is the type of person who could, I imagine, excel in absolutely any profession had he not veered almost accidentally into watchmaking. With his skill set, many self taught, and many garnered during his time in Japan learning traditional lacquer techniques, each watch and dial reflects the infinite passion of one man.

I just wish that more people could see for themselves the unique beauty of each dial. Unfortunately with such low production numbers per year, I fear these artisan timepieces will only be experienced by a lucky few in the know.

Your "humble" photos are great. Martin Pauli has many skills, his watches are all little works of art in more than one way. For a look in his shop, click here Don

Thanks for posting. Two very beautiful dials. One really does appreciate the artistic input that Mr. Pauli puts into every single dial making each watch have its own unique identity. Dean

Thanks Dean...

I almost wish I hadn't gone to the event as his pieces have started to haunt me. I have probably spent a couple of hours already on his website looking at the various dials and options for bespoke. This one really struck me with an arrow to the shoulder. ...
