No Jeans for You, Ulli: Ulli Kampelmann Timepieces Launches Innovation in
Pocket Watch

CLEARWATER, Fla., June 29 /PRNewswire/ -- It's 1975. Ulli is curled up in the
trunk of her boyfriend's Renault, escaping from communist East Germany,
escaping to freedom in West Berlin.

Despite the drone of the engine still she can hear the tick-tick-tick of the
watch which Klaus gave her as he convinced her to come home with him to West
Berlin: "Ulli, it's time to be free!"

Her thoughts drift back to her childhood; a time when she would sit quietly in
her Dad's workshop, watching him work the metal and she, holding his big
pocket watch, comparing her sense of passing time with what the watch
displayed. A game she plays again, huddled for so long in the dark trunk,
trying to ignore her heartbreak over leaving her family, her friends and her
home, trying to ignore the pervasive terror of being caught and losing it all.
But her yearning for a life without restrictions was strong.

Ulli would never again live where limitless travel was a pipe dream and where
her curiosity was blunted at every turn. In East Germany she had no chance to
appreciate artworks by Dali or other modern artists, where it was impossible
to buy rock 'n' roll music and she had no chance to buy blue jeans. Jeans were
the symbol of rebellion and freedom. But, Ulli had luck. After three grueling
hours in the cramped darkness, she emerged filled with a mixture of jubilation
and sorrow.

Many years later, Ulli became a successful modern artist in Europe. Once she
moved to the USA, she immediately bought a pair of real blue jeans in a Levi
Strauss store. Most recently she founded Ulli Kampelmann Timepieces.

Her newest collection is homage to these early hard times. She calls it her
Jeans Watch collection. The highlight of this collection is a Jeans Pocket
Watch sold in combination with a stylish pair of blue jeans of her own design.
