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.

Furlan Marri

Furlan Marri is a new watch brand founded by Andrea Furlan and Hamad Al-Marri in 2021, which caused a stir in the watch world last year with their mecha-quartz-driven chronograph models. Although the brand gained recognition, some enthusiasts were hesitant about the quartz movement. However, Furlan Marri has launched a new model, the Ref. 2116-A Black Sector, which features a fully mechanical movement and a classic-styled stainless steel case.

 The watch has a deep black, sector-style dial with silver or light-grey printed tracks and scales, Breguet-style numerals, leaf-shaped hour and minute hands, and a needle-like central seconds hand. The watch is powered by an automatic movement by La Joux-Perret, which is based on the manufacturer's G100 ébauche and has 24 jewels and a power reserve of 68 hours.
