It is our deepest belief that this can only be achieved when we let our design philosophy flow through to even the smallest details of the design: when all components work together in what becomes a true integrated design.
We have the high ambition to independently control the full design and manufacturing process since the launch of Holthinrichs Watches, resulting in our latest creation.
With pride, we are about to announce the ORNAMENT NOUVEAU. A project that we have been developing since 2017, containing our first in-house developed movement in a spectacular, unprecedented sculptural design language.
A Dutch-made, in-house developed movement: a novelty for both us and the Netherlands!
ORNAMENT NOUVEAU features our first in-house developed movement in a spectacular, unprecedented sculptural design that fully reflects the overall design language of the watch. A dream come true, and the only way to realize our vision of fully integrated designs.
To commemorate the 11th anniversary of The Lavish Attic we proudly present the very first iteration of the ORNAMENT NOUVEAU, which was auctioned at Phillips Hong Kong. Especially for this occasion, we have inscribed the black rhodium mainplate of our HW-M02 movement. Additionally, the piece unique is presented in a stainless steel 3D printed sculpture, enclosed in an inscribed cover.
This timepiece was sold for HK$736,600.
Last year, renowned luxury watch retailer The Lavish Attic asked us to work on our most ambitious project yet: A unique first edition of ORNAMENT NOUVEAU - a project we’ve been dedicated to since 2017. This exceptional timepiece integrates innovative UV sensitive technology, 3D metal printing, the very first Dutch Manufacture movement HW-M02, and extensive haute horlogerie finishing within a groundbreaking, sculptural design language.
Uniquely for this version, we laser-engraved the mainplate, commemorating our collaboration with renowned Hong Kong retailer The Lavish Attic. Moreover, the spectacular sculpture including inscribed base and glass cover is part of this piece unique.
We are currently in the early stages of planning production. Since these models are highly complex to manufacture and finish, we anticipate being able to produce up to 20 timepieces per year at full capacity. Considering the production setup, we estimate the lead time for the first series to be approximately 24 months. It’s important to mention that we will produce no more than 100 timepieces of this model in total. Pricing is starting at €59.5k (ex. VAT) in titanium.
