The name Ilmari 39 connects directly to Andreas Prepula’s family history. Ilmari Prepula was born in 1906 in Lapua and spent his childhood in Ostrobothnia. As a young man, Ilmari toured Finland on various construction sites, working as a blacksmith and riveter. Construction sites were often taken far from home and often lasted for months, if not years at a time. Life was hard than today, earnings were made by doing hard labor. The joy of life pulsed with Ilmari in the form of telling constantly many funny stories. Ilmari also was known as a very tough pipe tobacco smoker, like many workers at the time, he could even get [...]

A long time ago, we received a hint from a watch enthusiast living in Canada as to why a Finnish watch brand does not have a watch that respects the traditions of motorsport.

We can never forget the beautiful black dial with applied [...]
