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.

Alain Silberstein

Alain Silberstein is a Swiss watchmaker started his career as an interior designer and moved into watchmaking in the 1980s. Silberstein watches are often described as works of art, and they appeal to collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate unconventional and innovative design.

Silberstein's designs were characterized by bold colors, geometric shapes, and playful elements such as smiling faces and cartoon characters.

Over the years, Silberstein continued to innovate and experiment with new materials and design elements. He introduced watches with dials made of colored glass, titanium cases, and unique complications such as jumping hours and retrograde minutes. Silberstein watches are known for their high level of craftsmanship and attention to detail.

Unfortunately, Silberstein's watchmaking career came to an abrupt end in the early 2000s when his company went bankrupt due to financial difficulties. However, his watches remain highly sought after by collectors.
