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.

Raúl Pagès

Raúl Pagès is an independent Swiss watchmaker (movement designer and restorer). In 2005 he obtained his diploma of watchmaker-restorer in antique watchmaking with honors, then in 2006 his diploma of designer in watch complications at the CIFOM in Le Locle. For more than 15 years he has been working on the restoration of horological masterpieces belonging to the most prestigious collections in the world. These technical skills allow him today to offer masterpieces that perfectly combine tradition and modernity.

In 2012, he decided to set up his own business in order to manufacture entirely by hand the 352 components of his now iconic « Tortue » automaton. Building on this experience, he embarked on the manufacture of a limited series of 10 pieces « Soberly Onyx », his first timepiece, in 2016.

In 2017, he also became a member of the Académie Horlogère des Créateurs Indépendants (AHCI).
