Elegance Rooted in Porcelain

The elegance of Halcyon Watch lies in porcelain itself — its delicate texture, luminous milky-white hue and gentle sheen, and the quiet cultural depth it has carried for centuries.

From humble clay, porcelain is reborn through fire, emerging with a brilliance that is both enduring and pure — a quiet strength shaped by trial and time.

On the wrist, this timeless refinement becomes a discreet companion: calm, composed, and full of character.

High-level Craftsmanship & Quality

Beyond the porcelain itself

From watchmaking craftsmanship to quality, very detail is executed to the standards of a higher price tier .

So in the hand and on the wrist, you can clearly feel its clean, crisp, and quietly refined character.It doesn’t exist to show off, but to invite a second glance and quietly speak for your character.


Genuine, hand-finished porcelain dial

a type of dial you’d normally expect only in USD 2,000+ pieces.

Heat-blued 3D hands

Even the slender hands are fully three-dimensional, heat-blued and cut with multiple polished facets that catch the light from different angles — a kind of hand-worked detail you don’t often see on watches under around USD 1,500.

Refined Finishing & outgoing standards

Clean transitions and balanced brushing and polishing, with every detail meticulously finished for a quietly high-end feel on the wrist, and every finished watch is inspected by hand under multiple angles and lighting before it leaves the workshop.

Floating Dial & Ultra-Crisp Printing

The numerals and markers are printed directly onto the porcelain’s transparent glaze layer. Under light they cast subtle shadows and layers, making them appear to float above the dial — clean from a distance, and lively and three-dimensional up close.

To make this transparent-glaze effect not just pretty at a glance but strong up close, we use top-tier printing usually reserved for high-end watches. Edges stay crisp and decisive, with no fuzz or bleeding — even under high magnification — so the numerals look sharp, lively and three-dimensional in the light

Calm presence on the wrist

Journey uses the classic 40 mm size many collectors love, but its minimal design, generous porcelain white space and slim bezel make it easier to wear than a typical 40 mm — visually lighter, cleaner and less bulky than the number suggests.

A 40 mm watch is often recommended for wrists around 16.5–18 cm (approx. 6.5"–7.1"); all of our wrist shots, however, are on a wrist of about 16.2 cm (approx. 6.4"), slightly below that range, where it already looks composed and well-balanced.

More value, less to worry about

Halcyon is built with one aim: to give you the craft and quality of a US$2,000+ watch in a piece you can actually live with.

We cut out middlemen and layered markups, so more of what you pay goes into the porcelain, craft and finishing, rather than into channels and overhead.

For international orders, transit issues are on us, not on you — duties and unexpected shipping problems are our responsibility, so your price stays clear and all-in.

To keep that all-in price as fair as possible, we use slightly slower but more cost-efficient routes. In exchange for a bit more patience, you get a higher tier of watchmaking for the money, instead of paying for inflated logistics.

When is the right time to buy?

Our production is deliberately modest: in total, we can only make a little over a hundred pieces a month.

The yield of the porcelain dials, the assembly and the quality control simply don’t allow us to “scale our way” into lower costs — we’d rather move slowly than relax the standard.

On pricing, we’ve already set the margin at a point that feels “just enough” for the level of craft involved.

That means the more likely direction over time is upward adjustments as movement, labour and material costs rise, rather than deeper discounts.

So if you’ve already found yourself coming back to this dial more than once, this is probably the calmest — and fairest — moment to let it onto your wrist.

Our Promise

From checkout to your wrist, we take responsibility — including international shipping — so you don’t have to worry about what happens in between.

Shipping with duties included

No surprise fees on delivery — the price you see is the price you pay.

Transit issues are on us, not on you

If customs, returns, loss or damage occur in transit, we handle it and make sure a replacement or solution reaches you.

30-day returns & 3-year warranty

Time to live with the watch at home, plus long-term support if anything goes wrong.

90-Day Price Protection

If the price drops within 90 days, we refund the difference.

Two Dial Designs -

Journey is the quieter, more pared-back face of the collection: a clean, no-date dial, generous porcelain space and understated indexes come together in a way that feels soft in flow yet firm in presence.

It wears with a sense of calm confidence — simple, balanced and quietly elegant — for those who prefer their refinement to be felt rather than shown.

Suzhou Numerals —

Gentle Composure

Rooted in an ancient Chinese counting system, Suzhou numerals elegantly blend characters and symbols. Their curved, stylized forms soften the structure, yet they still carry the framework and backbone of Chinese script. This duality embodies a sense of gentle composure — tender on the surface, yet sustained by order and strength.

In harmony with porcelain’s luminous elegance, they reveal a beauty that feels serene, poised, and enduring.

(Chosen purely for their aesthetic value, with additional Chinese-inspired marks incorporated at 11 and 12 o’clock — see FAQ for details.)

Roman Numerals —

Timeless Order and Elegance

Defined by pure, linear strokes, Roman numerals embody simplicity, balance, and refinement. Their geometric clarity reflects a distinctly Western pursuit of order — rational, structured, and enduring.

Set against porcelain’s luminous glaze, the sharp contrast of dark lines and soft sheen creates a harmony of strength and subtlety. With each glance, the dial conveys composure and stability, offering a beauty that is timeless, precise, and endlessly graceful.

Movements — chosen for real-world use

The Halcyon Journey offers a choice of two proven automatic movements:

Miyota 9015 (Japanese movement)

A slim, modern date calibre with a 42-hour power reserve. It is known for its accuracy and reliability in daily wear, offering a quick-set date while keeping the dial layout clean and well-balanced.

SW200-1 (Swiss movement)

A classic Swiss automatic movement with around a 38-hour power reserve and a smooth winding feel — ideal if you prefer the character and precision of a traditional Swiss calibre.

Both movements are well-regarded, easy to service and widely supported, which means we can prioritise what you see and feel every day — the porcelain, the hands, the finishing — instead of spending your budget on exotic complications. They are quiet, trustworthy engines that let the rest of the watch shine.
