NUMERALS

There are just very few details which are as essential for the appearance of a watch as its numerals. That is why I do not use existing fonts, but create characters which are exclusive to my collection.

And there are some more reasons for this: Typefaces are usually designed to look good in a line which is why they may appear unballanced when arranged to a circle. Hence modifications would be required. At least when the outcome has got to be perfect which is, of course, the case with my works.

But such changes might be a problem. If not explicitly allowed in a licence, the legal situation is complex. On the hother hand, spending money on a permission would hardly make sense for me. After all I make just one watch of each design.

The best reason to come up with one‘s own typeface is, however, pointed out by a simple question: Can you imagine something more desirable than an one-off piece with an individual touch?
