My father was a dedicated watchmaker who ran a small shop for 30 years, selling and servicing watches to support our family. I spent countless hours there after school and college, learning the trade and the value of hard work and perseverance.

When he passed away, my mother took on the responsibility of raising our family. I kept working on other brands' watches, but the nostalgia grew into a desire to build a brand of our own.

I made a promise to myself that my father's legacy would never fade.
