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.

Czapek

Czapek is a luxury watch brand with a rich heritage that dates back to the 19th century. The brand was originally founded in 1845 by François Czapek, a Czech-born watchmaker, in collaboration with Antoine Norbert de Patek, who later co-founded Patek Philippe. Together, they created exquisite timepieces that quickly gained a reputation for their exceptional craftsmanship and precision.

After a long period of dormancy, Czapek was revived in 2012 by a group of passionate watch enthusiasts who sought to restore the brand's legacy. They focused on preserving the original spirit of Czapek while infusing it with contemporary design and technology. Today, Czapek watches are known for their elegant aesthetics, high-quality materials, and meticulous attention to detail. Each timepiece is crafted with a combination of traditional watchmaking techniques and innovative methods, resulting in exquisite watches that showcase both the brand's history and its modern vision.

Czapek offers a range of collections, including the Quai des Bergues and Faubourg de Cracovie, each with its own unique style and features. The brand takes pride in its limited production, ensuring exclusivity and rarity for its discerning customers.
