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 Piaget Unveils the Polo 79 in White Gold

Following the success last year’s release, the watch is now back with a new case

Piaget has many icons that never fail to impress, and a prime example is the Piaget Polo collection, which made a significant return to the spotlight with the launch of the Polo 79 last year in yellow gold. Now, as part of its participation in W&W 2025, Piaget unveils a new version in 18K white gold to expand this collection.

Just like the other variants, the case measures 38mm in diameter and 7.35mm in thickness. Its design is distinguished by Piaget's iconic horizontal gadroons, creating a ribbed effect that seamlessly extends from the case to the bracelet. The case is crafted entirely from 18K white gold and rhodium plated, showcasing a striking combination of polished and brushed finishes. A sapphire crystal caseback offers a glimpse into the movement while ensuring water resistance of up to 50 meters.

The dial features a tone-on-tone striped gold finish, accentuated by polished gadroons. Dauphine-style hands, crafted in 18K white gold, glide elegantly over the surface, while a minute track marked with pearl-like dots in varying sizes surrounds the dial.

Powering the watch is Calibre 1200P1, an ultra-thin automatic movement measuring just 2.35mm thick. It operates at a frequency of 21,600 vph (3Hz) and offers a 44-hour power reserve. The movement includes a grey coated 22K gold micro-rotor, and circular Côtes de Genève, bevelled bridges, and blued screws.

The integrated 18K white gold bracelet mirrors the case’s finishes, tapering gracefully around the wrist. Secured with a triple-blade folding clasp, it provides both comfort and a seamless aesthetic connection to the watch. The Polo 79 White Gold is part of the permanent collection at a price of EUR 85,500, approximately AED 341,200.
