Krzysztof Miruć
Krzysztof's schedule is incredibly tight. That's why it was difficult to catch him, even for a short conversation. However, we were persistent enough to manage a chat and learn a little more about the man whose architectural adventures are known to most Poles, and certainly to those who dream of a comfortable bathroom or a functional dressing room.
Krzysztof Miruć comes from Giżycko, where he spent his entire childhood. When asked about memories from his youth, he readily talks about carefree moments spent in the land of a thousand lakes.
For as long as he could remember, he had wanted to be an architect.
The greatest influence on Krzysztof's future was his uncle Mirosław Miruć, whose work and way of being greatly impressed him. It was he who inspired his younger cousin and instilled in him the creative spark that Krzysztof developed in high school in Supraśl and later while studying at the Warsaw University of Technology. In his opinion, being an architect is the best job in the world.
"If you love what you do, time becomes relative. I lose myself in work that ceases to be……….work, and becomes pure pleasure" – he replies when asked about his greatest passion, adding – "that is exactly why I can say that I am a workaholic and this is the only addiction that I indulge in with enormous pleasure."
When it comes to time, Krzysztof openly admits that it is something he is constantly short of.
As luck would have it, he can be a forgetful person, and without his colleagues, he certainly wouldn't be able to get anything done. Even with a watch on his wrist.
Krzysztof's first watch memory is related to his First Communion. It was during this ceremony that he received his first watch, which he remembered perfectly. It was a Soviet-made machine with a white-and-silver dial, a manual-winding mechanism, and a classic look. From the description, one can assume that Krzysztof became the owner of a traditional dress watch.
The Communion keepsake disappeared somewhere in the depths of history, and in the so-called meantime, our Ambassador began to appreciate manual mechanisms hidden in perfectly designed cases. Krzysztof began to pursue and develop his watch dreams together with the Balticus company.
“I am a fan of Polish companies – he says openly – and I want to support Polish brands. Therefore, as soon as the opportunity to cooperate with the Balticus company arose, I didn't think twice and accepted the offer. It was very important that part of the watches are designed by an outstanding professional, Mateusz Przystał. It was precisely this uncompromising approach to the product and the desire to create unique items that convinced me of this company's watches. For me as an architect, form and content are of enormous importance, and in Balticus brand watches, I find both of these qualities.”
For our Ambassador, a watch is an important element of a man's outfit.
Krzysztof owns several Balticus watches, and they are the first thing he puts on after waking up. He always tries to choose a watch to match the occasion, time of day, or place he is heading to. Fortunately, he has plenty of options to choose from. Krzysztof owns, among others, the Żabnica, Gwiezdny Pył, and Deep Water in the highly coveted and elegant Full Black Limited Edition configuration.
