Holthinrichs and The Horology Club Unveil the Unique "Concrete Jungle" Watch

 

Holthinrichs Watches, a creative watch brand from the Netherlands, has teamed up with The Horology Club (THC) to release their first collaborative timepiece: the Signature Ornament “Concrete Jungle.” This limited-edition watch is inspired by the vibrant city of Hong Kong, often called a "concrete jungle," reflecting its urban landscape and non-stop energy.

The watch’s standout feature is its lume-filled concrete dial—the first of its kind. This innovative design ensures the dial glows in the dark, symbolizing Hong Kong as a city that never sleeps. Adding to its charm, the numeric markers are styled in oracle bone script, the earliest form of Chinese writing. These indices are molded into the concrete, creating a striking and unique visual effect.

Holthinrichs’ design philosophy, called Horlogerie Brut, shines through with raw textures and honest use of materials, inspired by modernist architecture. The watch’s case comes in two options: the Signature Ornament Case with polished and brushed finishes, or the Signature LAB Case, made with advanced 3D printing technology and intricate skeletonized lugs.

Measuring 38.5mm, the case is crafted from Grade 5 titanium and powered by a modified Sellita SW-300 movement. Limited to just 50 pieces for the LAB series case and time-limited availability for the Ornament case, the “Concrete Jungle” is priced between $33,000 and $47,500 HKD (about $4,246 to $6,113 USD). Deliveries are set for April 2025, with pre-orders starting December 20.
