Our Take

Our newest brand partner, Felipe Pikullik, is a rising, young watchmaker in the independent game. We’ve been fans of his creations from the Sternenhimmel to the HTH (Homage to Harrison). More than any else, Pikullik has impressed us with the sheer feverish pace of his creativity - crafting six timepieces in six years. It's our pleasure to present another fantastic example of the German watchmaker’s high-level craftsmanship – the HTH, Homage to Harrison, in Chinese numerals with lucky serial number #8.

Inspired by the watchmaking of early English pioneer John Harrison, the inventor of the marine chronometer, the HTH is Felipe Pikullik’s first interpretation of classical watchmaking. In keeping with traditional elements Felipe presents a frosted non-lacquered brass dial. The texture of the dial is created through sandblasting, to reach a grainy texture with black rhodium plating. The Chapter ring is applied on the base dial and finished through black polishing. This edition comes with Chinese numerals while Eastern Arabic, Breguet, Roman numerals are available on demand. 

Inspired by Harrison’s H4, the timepiece that was the forerunner to the marine chronometer, the HTH uses a completely reworked ETA 6498 caliber as the base to display the watchmaker’s skills in skeletonization, finishing, and hand engraving. The movement is disassembled, rhodium-plated for the base plate and gold-plated for the balance cock, and adorned with anglage and floral patterned engraving throughout. From dial to movement, Pikullik has crafted a phenomenal timepiece that establishes himself as one of the best, young watchmakers in the independent game.
