Big, black and very easy to read
By Sam Okafor, London ยท
Hours round the dial, a triangle at twelve flanked by two dots, plain sword hands. The Type A is about as legible as an analogue dial gets, and the Paderborn's 42 mm gives it plenty of room. My only quarrel is the size. 42 mm with long lugs is a lot of black disc, and on a smaller wrist the lugs overhang. If you have the wrist for it, 450 to 500 dollars is fair, and it's better proportioned than the countless copies that borrow the same layout.
