Simon Ma, stand the time to eternity

Shanghai "a wind Corner" masters of the multinational CTL's CEO, Ma.Design brand's artistic director.

While focusing on a watch with a design sense, but for many big-name fashion watch design fits of overzealous mad that he did not agree, "they will do very fashionable, the watch into a trend, but the bad thing is, the quality definitely above not how. " Love collecting antiques since childhood, he still likes that can withstand the time "grinding" thing.
Simon's success itself, but also to "iron out" in China. In 1997 to Shanghai, he slept every day office work more than 15 hours a day, do not speak Mandarin, and now his own brand in Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Chengdu, have a certain reputation, "Success should be a a very long process. "
Because of this, he likes the story behind those things. As if his most beloved a watch, it is studying at university in London, and his brother visiting the antiques market, the two come together with Amoy. The table in about 192 years of production, is precisely a local steel mill to a factory job until retirement in a brother as a souvenir of the right table, workmanship is very fine, simple, Simon and his brother who saw it not put it down as soon as closed in. I think this is fate.

He likes the eighties, the world's atmosphere are relatively healthy, but now he felt too fast, "quite debilitating." Watch need to go every time associate, he also accurately go, "and the quasi-steady", he hoped that every day there is a meaningful purpose, but not necessarily planned, like watches, shape can be arbitrary, precision can not be sloppy.
