Mr Roy Schaefer, a designer, was born in Liechtenstein. He lives in Pforzheim, Germany. After studying industrial design in PFORZHEIM and Chicago, 1996 began to design jewelry, watches and interior decoration for many companies as a designer. ABACUS is an innovative series specially designed by Mr. SCHAFER for LAVARO, and won the form prize in 1999 German Excellent Design Award.

In 2006, because of the success of IPod Watch series design, Mario and his designer watch brand Lavaro, as cutting-edge designers, attracted wide attention from the German watch industry. Because of its simplicity and uniqueness similar to its steel ball series, LACO, a famous German military watch and pilot watch brand, which has been committed to supporting cutting-edge designers, decided to cooperate with Mario to give it a broader design stage, and took Lavaro brand as a watch designer brand tailored for the younger generation who love design, fashion and life, and in the global brand strategy *.

The abacus steel ball series designed by designer Roy Schafer in 2009, which is interesting, decorative and functional, won the form prize in the German Excellent Design Award in one fell swoop, making LAVARO brand born out of a simple niche designer brand and truly representing the new design strength of the younger generation in Germany.

Lavaro, which is free, pure, simple and innovative, exudes Germany's unique rationality, but it is also warm and romantic. It has become the darling of the younger generation in Europe, and I believe that it will also set off a buying craze among domestic fashionistas in the near future.
