Waiting for Paint to Dry

I am sure most of us have heard someone say that they were so bored or something was taking place soooooooo slowly that it was like “waiting for paint to dry”. So let me introduce you to Andreas Sundelin Wiberg … he also has been waiting for paint to dry. The difference is what he did with the time. So let’s drop back for moment, Andreas sells boats to make a living. In his free time he plays in a band, builds motorcycles and sews. Seems like a fairly full life. Well one day while literally waiting for paint to dry on a car, Andreas decided to recycle some car parts into a wristwatch and as they say, the rest is history. Wiberg came in first among over 300 contestants and won a fashion design scholarship from the Swedish furniture giant IKEA. If you are interested in one of his designs, I have some advice … “while you are waiting for the paint to dry”, “don’t hold your breath”. From his first model in 2001 through November 2010, Wiberg has produced 14 watches. While your dreaming, maybe a Môntrèk Watch instead :-)
