The Summit Collection: A Strong First Step for New Brand Earthen

Earthen Company is one of the freshest names to enter the watch market, founded in Hong Kong in 2025 by a group of passionate collectors and enthusiasts. Co-founder Jonathan Chan, also a key figure behind The Horology Club, explains that the team approached this project as collectors first, not as traditional watchmakers. 

The result is a debut that doesn’t chase trends but instead offers something unique, a series of ceramic, field- and pilot-inspired watches at an accessible price point. With the launch of the Summit Collection, it’s clear Earthen intends to make an impression from day one.

Introducing MeisterSinger Unveils the Neo Special

Four classic references in spring-inspired pastel shades

The German brand MeisterSinger was founded by Manfred Brassler in 2001 and has built a reputation for its unique single-hand timepieces. With a philosophy centered on a simple approach to timekeeping, MeisterSinger watches encourage wearers to embrace an age-old method of reading time, free from modern minute and second hands. This year, the brand is unveiling a fresh take on the iconic Neo collection with the Neo Special, a vibrant set available in four pastel shades: Light Blue, Light Red, Light Yellow, and Light Green.

The MeisterSinger Neo is recognized for its minimalist design, reminiscent of dress watches from the 1950s and 1960s. Characterized by a slim bezel and a slightly domed sapphire crystal, the watch puts the dial at the forefront. The stainless steel case is elegantly polished, measuring 36mm in diameter and offering a sleek profile with a thickness of just 9.7mm. The closed, screw-down caseback provides water resistance up to 50 meters.

The dial design stays true to MeisterSinger’s philosophy, featuring a single hour hand and printed numerals that create a subtle 3D effect. To enhance legibility and add a touch of contrast, the hour and half-hour markers are designed in complementary tones that match each dial’s hue. 

The watch is powered by the Sellita SW200 movement, modified to support the brand’s distinctive single-hand time display. This automatic movement operates at a frequency of 28,800 vph (4Hz) and offers a 38-hour power reserve.

Each Neo Special model comes fitted with a gray velour leather strap at a price of EUR 1,890 (approximately AED 7,600) or a Milanese steel bracelet at a price of EUR 1,910 (approximately AED 7,650).
