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.

McGonigle

Stephen McGonigle, the renowned Irish watchmaker, grew up surrounded by the ticking of clocks and the intricacies of mechanical movements. His father, Johnny McGonigle, was locally known for his passion for watch repair, a passion that paved the way for Stephen's journey into the world of horology.

In 1996, Stephen graduated from the Irish-Swiss Institute of Horology in Dublin, earning a scholarship that allowed him to travel to Switzerland. There, he worked with some of the biggest names in the watchmaking industry until 2003, when he founded his own independent workshop. Initially focusing on crafting complications for prestigious brands, he eventually launched his own brand in 2006.
