What is Paulin?
Paulin is a Scottish watch brand based in Glasgow, recognised for quirky, contemporary design. Its dials use bold colour combinations and mix Arabic numerals with indices for a playful look.
History
The brand marked its tenth year in business in 2023. That year it was acquired by anOrdain, another Glasgow watchmaker that had previously worked with Paulin, and relaunched under creative director Imogen Ayers, a founding member of anOrdain. Paulin has also operated a flagship store in Glasgow that offered in-store watch design.
