Discover the Paulin OH no Automatic Red watch, created in collaboration with San Jose’s OH no Type Foundry. Learn about its California-inspired design, bespoke numerals, and Swiss-made La Joux-Perret G101 movement.
This partnership began with a shared love for typography, especially the font Obviously, which defines Paulin’s visual identity. The watch made its debut in California at the San Francisco Wind Up Watch Fair.
A California-Inspired Dial
The dial tells a story of California’s design culture.
-
The color palette references artists Sister Corita Kent and Saul Bass.

Unlike the original Modul’s clean geometry, this dial features free-form numerals from OH no.
-
The numbers interlock and test legibility in a playful way.

Extra emphasis is given to the 12, 3, 6, and 9.
