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.

First Look The New Vyntage Horology Purity Dusk & Monograph Dawn

Another milestone by the indie Emarati brand

The world of watchmaking continues to expand beyond traditional boundaries, with new independent brands emerging and making bold statements in the industry. A perfect example is Vyntage Horology, an Emirati brand with Swiss craftsmanship that took the horological world by surprise with its debut at Dubai Watch Week 2023. Under the leadership of the Seddiqi family and Mr. Mohammed Abdulmagied Seddiqi’s guidance, Vyntage Horology introduced its first creations, the Monograph and Purity, captivating enthusiasts with a classic style that reflects the rich heritage of our Arabic culture. Today, the brand continues to expand its catalog with two new limited editions, the Purity Dusk and Monograph Dawn.

Vyntage Horology Monograph Dawn

Let's begin with the intricate Monograph Dawn, a watch with colors inspired by the sunrise, as suggested by its name, "Dawn." Housed in a 904L stainless steel case measuring 40mm in diameter and 14.2mm in thickness, it features a domed sapphire crystal that protects the dial and a flat sapphire crystal on the case back, offering a view of the movement. The Monograph Dawn stands out with its stunning salmon-colored dial, adorned with hammered finishes and hand-applied Roman numerals. It also boasts a 30-minute chronograph counter at 3 o'clock, which is operated via a monopusher at 2 o'clock, and a small seconds sub-dial at 9 o'clock.

The watch is powered by a Swiss hand-wound cam movement, operating at 28,800 vph (4Hz), and offers a 48-hour power reserve. It comes with a gray calfskin leather strap, along with an additional matte black rubber strap, both secured by a stainless steel pin buckle. The Monograph Dawn is limited to just 25 pieces and is priced at AED 32,500.

Vyntage Horology Purity Dusk

The second watch we have today is the simple yet elegant Purity Dusk, a limited edition of just 50 pieces. It features a 904L stainless steel case measuring 39mm in diameter and 10.8mm in thickness, offering a perfect fit on the wrist. What sets this watch apart is its distinctive crown positioned at 4 o'clock and its striking hammered smoked green dial, which subtly reflects the city’s night lights. The dial is enhanced by hand-applied curved silver indices and a small seconds sub-dial at 7 o'clock.

Powered by a Swiss hand-wound movement operating at 21,600 vph (3Hz), the Purity Dusk offers an impressive 90-hour power reserve. It comes with a purple curved calfskin leather strap and an additional matte black rubber strap, both secured with a stainless steel pin buckle. The watch is priced at AED 23,900.
