2022 Paulin 'Prototype' 1-1000 Green Dial 'EveryWatch' 35mm

This is far more than just a limited piece—it’s a true prototype with a direct line back to its origin story. What makes it particularly special is the provenance. I acquired it directly from the original auction winner, and it traces back to the EveryWatch charity auction for Maggie’s. That kind of documented chain of ownership, especially for a one-off prototype, is something you don’t come across often. The 35mm case keeps things intentionally minimal and wearable, while the green dial adds just enough character without disrupting the clean Paulin design language. It still feels very much like an early-stage exploration of what the brand would become. Inside, the ETA 7001 keeps things traditional and honest—manual winding, slim profile, and a movement that suits the stripped-back philosophy perfectly. Overall, it’s a piece that sits firmly in the “collecting story” category rather than just a watch.
