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.

RGM

RGM is an independent American high-end watch brand founded in 1992 by Roland G. Murphy in Mount Joy, Pennsylvania. Trained in Switzerland at WOSTEP, Murphy worked in product development at Hamilton before establishing his own brand. RGM stands out in the American watchmaking landscape with its in-house movements and dials adorned with traditional métiers d’art, such as hand-guilloché and Grand Feu enamel. As the only vertically integrated manufacture in the U.S., RGM produces its own movements, dials, hands, and other components. Excitingly for enthusiasts, the brand’s first in-house calibre, the 801, is now housed in a more compact 40mm case.
