This week on the SUPERLATIVE Podcast, host and aBlogtoWatch founder Ariel Adams is joined by Joshua Blank and Emily Rosenberg, founders of Papar Watch Company. The conversation delves into the iterative design process, the challenges of manufacturing partnerships, investment decisions, and the dynamics of running a small family business. They discuss their unique journey into the watch industry, the design and features of their first watch, the Anillo Sector Dial GMT, and the emotional experience of launching a new product. Josh and Emily also share their concerns and outlook for the future as they navigate the complexities of the watch industry. They explore the balance between maintaining quality and innovating in a fast-paced industry and how their personal experiences and family dynamics influence their designs. They also delve into the aesthetics of brutalism and vintage styles, the tension between familiarity and originality in product creation, and the evolving meaning of 'vintage' in the watch industry. As founders, Josh and Emily emphasize the significance of storytelling in watch design while aiming to create emotional connections with their customers through their designs.
