to create a new life for himself and his children. During the 1960s, he gave lessons on watchmaking at the Tirana Factory - an educational entity that he envisioned, built and led on his own. This school offered 2-3 year study programs which produced hundreds of new watchmakers. He passed his love for watchmaking to his children and grandchildren, which have kept this tradition alive to this day. In his later years he was deeply disappointed as the state failed to return or provide compensation for any of his family’s 23 confiscated stores and other properties. They didn’t receive any assistance in reopening the shops where they could practice their watchmaking operations. In such circumstances, Enis Tufina - the owner of Tufina watches representative German brands “Theorema” and "Pionier” - decided to reestablish his family’s watchmaking activities after moving to Germany.
