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.

It's the process of applying numbers, symbols, or indicators onto the dial of a watch to indicate the time or other functions. These markers are typically designed in a decorative manner to add an aesthetic touch to the dial and the watch as a whole.

Applied markers in watches are typically made from Superluminova, Tritium, or metal, and sometimes diamonds or gemstones.
