His name is Altan Ceylan

Born and raised in Istanbul, Altan Ceylan studied Electrical Engineering at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), following the path many are taught to pursue: study hard, build a career, seek stability. Yet somewhere along that path came the realization that time passes quietly. Days become routines, routines become years, and one day you realize that no one tells when to begin living deliberately. 

Jewelry became the medium through which he expressed his perception of time, identity, and life.

After he completed his training in the Grand Bazaar of Istanbul by master artisans, he kept teaching the craft himself through experimentation, as this craft requires tens of years to perfect.

He founded Altan Ceylan in Berlin, the city that welcomes everything without any prejudice.
