About Us
MR STATELESS is an independent online magazine dedicated to the art and culture of horology. Founded in 2020 by Ricardo Amaral, the publication delves into the fascinating world of watches, aiming to educate, inform, and inspire a global audience. From in-depth horological education and industry reports to opinion pieces, interviews, and market news, MR STATELESS is a comprehensive resource for enthusiasts and collectors alike.
The Beginning
Ricardo Amaral’s love for watches traces back to his childhood, heavily influenced by his father, a motorsport enthusiast and professional coach. His father’s passion for cars and motorcycles left a lasting impression, but it was the inheritance of his father’s Omega watch that truly ignited his curiosity and fascination with horology.
Beyond Content: Services and Products
While MR STATELESS began as an online magazine, it has evolved to include an online store offering various horology-related services and products. The platform currently provides a professional watch repair service and is actively expanding its offerings. Soon, it will feature a carefully curated selection of products and services related to the world of watches.
This expansion reflects MR STATELESS’s commitment to enriching the experience of watch enthusiasts, providing not only engaging content but also valuable tools and services to complement their passion.
The Essence of MR STATELESS
Located in the historic and sunny city of Lisbon, MR STATELESS celebrates more than just timepieces. It’s about the stories behind the objects, the craftsmanship of mechanical pieces, and the profound personal connections that tie people to these creations.
