Founded in 2016 in Delft, Netherlands, by architect-turned-horologist Michiel Holthinrichs, Holthinrichs Watches merges cutting-edge technology with traditional haute horlogerie. Rooted in the founder's background in historical architecture and the Art Deco movement, the brand operates under a philosophy of "Horlogerie Brut," emphasizing material honesty and structural complexity. Holthinrichs is celebrated as a pioneer in 3D metal printing, utilizing the technology to create intricate, skeletonized cases and hollow lugs that would be impossible to achieve through traditional machining. These avant-garde, architectural silhouettes are then meticulously hand-finished by skilled artisans using century-old watchmaking tools, creating a striking contrast between raw, industrial textures and refined, polished surfaces.
