"Intentionally small-scale. Driven by craftsmanship."
Because creativity, craftsmanship, and attention to detail should never be sacrificed for commercial gain.
About me, Charles Poelmans
My passion for engineering, creativity, and craftsmanship began with classic cars. In the early years, I gave my imagination free rein by customizing vehicles with modifications such as top chops, air suspension, and bespoke paintwork. It was a time when I could fully express my creative spirit, each car became a unique creation.
Over time, my focus shifted toward restoration, particularly of classic Italian cars, many of which featured hand-built bodies. That is where I found my true calling: working with pure craftsmanship, attention to detail, and doing everything myself, from bodywork to complete mechanical rebuilds. For more than twenty-five years, I dedicated myself wholeheartedly to these projects.
Eventually, I decided to step back and start a more “normal” working life as an employee. I held various positions across different industries, but something was always missing: true satisfaction, working with my hands, and creative fulfillment.
As the saying goes, passion always finds its way back. So I returned to where it all began, this time with motorcycles. Restorations and custom builds, approached with the same dedication as before. And just like when I started, I work alone. Deliberately small-scale and intentionally personal, because creativity, craftsmanship, and attention to detail should never be sacrificed for commercial gain.
My past
Here are a few photos of my work from the past. Unfortunately, I never took many pictures, probably because I was too absorbed in the work itself. At the very bottom, you’ll find one more photo showing a small part of the workshop as it was back then.
