Sometimes in life, if you want something you better get up and make it happen yourself. This is exactly what Steve Sun, founder of the fashion watch brand STORM, did! His first sketches in the early 80’s was so unusual that the factories simply did not know how to produce his watches. Steve decided to learn and master the skills himself, working together with the factories inventing new methods in order to make his dream come true, producing his unique designs which today are synonymous with STORM.
Another story which makes you realize that good things can come out of tricky situations is the fact that when a pilot apologized for a very turbulent flight, because they had flown through a storm, Steve got the idea for his brand name: STORM. A strong and powerful, force of nature.
Since STORM’s conception in 1989 there has been a large number of designs produced and some of their first watches have become collector’s items. On their website you can find a vintage collection of the most unique watches. Perhaps you remember the “Baby Bubble” or “Thunderglow” trend?
This season we find some fresh new watches and the designs still feels like a great STORM. We at PAUSE have picked out some of our favorites and you can find more on their website.
