PAULiN OH No Monochrome Automatic

The PAULiN OH No Monochrome Automatic is a striking collaboration with the San Jose type foundry OH no, born from a shared passion for typography and a love for the “Obviously” font that defines PAULiN’s identity. First introduced in California at San Francisco’s Wind Up Watch Fair, this timepiece celebrates creativity and design heritage with a bold white dial inspired by local icons such as Corita Kent and Saul Bass.

Departing from the uniform geometry of the original Modul, the dial showcases OH no’s playful, free-form numerals in an interlocking layout, with exaggerated emphasis on 12, 3, 6, and 9 for a dynamic, eye-catching effect. The monochrome palette enhances clarity while maintaining a contemporary, artistic character.

At its heart, the OH No Monochrome Automatic is powered by the dependable Swiss-made La Joux-Perret G101 movement, visible through an exhibition caseback. The 39mm stainless steel case, 9.7mm thick, combined with a premium machined sapphire box crystal and a pronounced crown, ensures exceptional comfort on a wide range of wrists. Blending typographic artistry with precision watchmaking, this model is a confident, sophisticated statement for those who appreciate both design and mechanical excellence.
