The dials of old pocket watches or church tower clocks 

are exemplary for me in their simplicity and conciseness. The Lang & Heyne manufactory has produced several models that particularly appeal to my eye. They have a somewhat old-fashioned look – and for me, that is comparable to a painting. I like it because it evokes an association. From this perspective, pocket watches have been a source of great joy to me throughout my life.”
