THE Papar STORY

Papar Watch Company was born in the high desert of San Miguel de Allende, Mexico and is growing in the Berkshire Mountains of Massachusetts. Inspired in equal parts by brutalist architecture, vintage watch design and paper planes, Papar is intended to feel new and modern, yet familiar and wearable by the whole family.

As lovers of watch complications and design, we set out to re-think the way traditional functionalities are presented, while fostering a connection between the user, the watch, and their loved ones. Our Functional Sector Dial design starts with the classic sector dial, then increases its usability, playfully adding the GMT feature. Even more, the Papar Anillo is intended to be a tool for emotional connection through a logo which changes color to represent the time of day in the 2nd time zone, visually showing the wearer the time of day at home, when they are far away.

Papar is husband and wife team, Josh + Emily. Josh is Papar’s Founder + Designer, and Emily is Papar’s Chief Creative Officer.

The Anillo is just the beginning. See you soon with more…
