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.

Felipe Pikullik

Felipe Pikullik is a talented young watchmaker born in Berlin in 1994. After a long search for a watch that matched his vision, he decided to create his own. In 2017, he founded his eponymous watch brand with the aim of bringing his unique vision to life. He received formal training in the art of watchmaking at one of the renowned watchmaking schools in Glashütte, Saxony, Germany.

The brand's inception was sparked when Felipe crafted his first watch for personal use, and a friend requested a custom watch with a hand-engraved lion head on top of the plate. This inspired Felipe to create individual handmade watches with a personal touch that would be available for everyone. Today, Felipe Pikullik watches are a testament to his passion for the art of watchmaking and his dedication to creating high-quality timepieces with a unique touch.

Felipe Pikullik's debut watch, the Sternenhimmel, is the first model in a series of watches inspired by astronomy. The watch is a time-only piece, with a sleek design that embodies the beauty of the night sky.
