Founder Martin was born into a family of porcelain makers and has lived with Porcelain for as long as he can remember. Over time he noticed that Porcelain was becoming “an appreciation reserved for a few.” Even when life is comfortable, beyond a cup of tea there are few everyday moments to truly feel its beauty.
Halcyon Watch offers a simple answer: embed the warmth, texture, and order of Porcelain into the most ordinary object we wear—the wristwatch.
In 2019 we started in Jingdezhen.
In 2022 we released our first piece; since then we’ve completed five Kickstarter campaigns and met thousands of wearers around the world. Every launch and every shipment is a retrospective: glaze recipes and firing, hand proportions and crystal reflections, strap comfort and packaging safety… We refine them one by one, and we’ve also made our service flow, shipping notes, and duties communication clearer.
What sets us apart is the “true porcelain dial.”
Not a coating, not an imitation—Porcelain preserved through multiple firings. At heart it’s a way of working: patience, precision, and respect for detail. Individual pieces may show faint “kiln marks”; we acknowledge and record them, because they are the material breathing.
We don’t shy away from problems.
Slow deliveries, less-than-clear explanations, details that didn’t meet expectations—these have happened along the way. Each piece of feedback becomes an improvement record. If natural craft variation ever gives you pause, we’ll talk it through, remake, or replace—and make it right.
The most convincing voices are those who wear our watches.
We don’t chase the perfect tagline; we aim to do the right thing, time after time: deliver as promised, communicate honestly, and resolve issues properly. If your first experience falls short, tell us—we’ll follow through until you’re happy to wear it again.
Looking ahead, we’ll move in steady, small steps.
We plan to release only two pieces a year: one hand-painted, collector-focused micro-art piece; and one daily-wear piece centered on the gentle luster of Porcelain. The rest needs no more words—time will tell.
“What you can tell at a glance isn’t the color—it’s the honesty of the material.” — from a longtime wearer
