In this video, we take a closer look at two unique models from the Glasgow-based brand Paulin: the Modul B Mechanical and the Modul B Automatic. Each features a rich brown dial and funky design language. They share some similar traits while differentiating enough to really set them apart. Which version would you choose?

Paulin has never shied away from creating watches that are fun, colorful and a bit quirky. This has separated them from many of their peers. With that mindset of design, they have introduced a new watch into their catalogue that doubles down on that thesis. Introducing the Modul.The Modul watch is a collection of compact and slim timepieces that have a bold color palette and a sleek tonneau-shaped case. Each watch makes use of a 35mm wide, 8.2mm case that features a modular design. The black steel body houses the movement, distinct from the brushed steel outer case. This allows for different movement calibers to be accommodated, thus leading to a quartz and mechanical version of each Modul. The clear differentiator between the two being the small seconds sub dial used on the mechanical version while the quartz version features a simple 3 hand layout.

The Modul comes in three distinct versions. The Modul A with its bright yellow dial. The Modul B with its brown dial. And finally, the Modul C, with its cotton candy pink dial.The watches in the Modul collection are powered by either one of the following movements: the La Joux Perret improved D100 movement, featuring blued screws and Geneva stripes visible through an exhibition caseback. It beats at 21,600vph and has a 50hr power reserve. The other option is the quartz ETA 955.112 which has 7 jewels and should run 4-5 years on a new battery.
