On February 23rd, 2009, Hublot Geneve’s Vice President of Sales Michael Margolis was honored to award security guard Gregory Boyle one of its Big Bang watches for his heroism and bravery at Cellini Jewelers. In late Fall 2008, an attempted robbery of Cellini Jewelers at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York City was stopped by the 54-year-old retired police officer who suffered gun shot wounds while protecting the store and its customers and employees from any harm. “We deeply regret the ordeal our close friends at Cellini were forced to endure”, said Michael Margolis, “and it is with great admiration for his courage that we present Greg Boyle with an Hublot watch.”

As a graphic designer, I'm fascinated by the crossroads between technology and aesthetics. Horology is one of these crafts, where art and engineering come together to produce mechanical wonders that grace the eye. WatchPaper was born from the desire to create an online tool where I can share my passion for watches.
