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.

Favre-Leuba

Favre-Leuba is a Swiss watch brand that has been producing timepieces since 1737, making it one of the oldest watch manufacturers in the world. The brand was founded by Abraham Favre in the village of Le Locle, in the canton of Neuchâtel, Switzerland.

In the early 1900s, the brand introduced its Bivouac watch, which was the first altimeter-equipped wristwatch. Favre-Leuba continued to innovate in the 1950s with the introduction of the Deep Blue, a diving watch that was water-resistant to a depth of 200 meters. In the 1960s, the brand introduced the Sea Chief, a diving watch with a depth rating of 300 meters, and the Bathy, a watch with a built-in depth gauge.

Favre-Leuba has also been involved in a number of expeditions and adventures, including the Swiss Everest Expedition in 1956, during which a member of the team wore a Favre-Leuba Bivouac watch to the summit of Mount Everest.
