So if I want to buy a light in a shop and I don't find a light that I like, I think to myself what would I like? What would I like to buy? Then I started to imagine and design it for myself a lot of the time.

I think it's really important to design things with a kind of personality.

With the Solaris, however, I wanted to design a very simple, elegant dress watch

I was sort of open to do anything, I was free.

But to me, to be original is to be yourself.

If I can feel freedom then I can create.

I'm always working. Like a lot of creative people I can't switch off. I can't disassociate work from pleasure. My job is my hobby.
