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.

A. Lange & Söhne

A. Lange & Söhne is a luxury watch brand based in Glashütte, Germany. The brand was founded in 1845 by Ferdinand Adolph Lange and quickly became renowned for its high-quality pocket watches. After World War II, the company was expropriated by the East German government, and the brand lay dormant until after the reunification of Germany in 1990.

In 1994, the great-grandson of Ferdinand Adolph Lange revived A. Lange & Söhne, and the brand quickly regained its reputation for creating some of the finest mechanical watches in the world. Today, A. Lange & Söhne produces a wide range of timepieces, including classic dress watches, complicated models with multiple functions, and sporty chronographs.

The brand is known for its attention to detail and its use of high-quality materials, including precious metals and fine leather. Some of the most popular models in the A. Lange & Söhne collection include the Lange 1, Saxonia, 1815, and Datograph. A. Lange & Söhne watches are highly coveted by collectors and are considered some of the finest examples of German watchmaking.
