Our porcelain dials are made in small batches.
Because kiln firing and finishing can’t be rushed, each allocation is limited — and some variants are now down to single-digit stock.
Once this allocation is spoken for, the next batch typically means about 3 more weeks of waiting — and a higher price, as labor and material costs continue to rise.
We currently expect to move fully into the next allocation around Jan 20.
If Journey has been on your mind, this is simply the clearest window to secure this batch under today’s terms.
We keep pricing simple. If the same watch you purchased becomes available for a lower total price within 90 days of your order, we will automatically refund the difference.
What we compare
We compare the all-in total you would pay at checkout — including any discounts, promotions, and fees — for the same model/variant during the 90-day window.
How it works
What’s included
We’d rather you decide at home, on your own wrist, than from a screen.
30 days to decide
From the day your watch is delivered, you have 30 days to decide if it feels right for you in daily wear — not just at first glance.
Condition for returns
The watch should be in lightly tried-on condition, with all original packaging and accessories (strap, box, cards, cloth, etc.) included and in good shape.
Return shipping costs
For customers in our free-shipping, duties-included regions (most of Europe, the US, Canada, Singapore, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Australia and New Zealand), we cover both the original shipping and the return shipping.
For other regions, we’re happy to accept returns within 30 days, but return shipping costs are paid by the customer.
How refunds work
Once your watch arrives back and passes inspection, we issue a refund to your original payment method.
Your Halcyon is built to be a long-term companion, and we stand behind it.
2 + 1 years of coverage
Every watch comes with 2 years of warranty against manufacturing defects.
If you join our mailing list / subscribe to updates, you receive an extra 1 year, for a total of 3 years of coverage.
What’s covered
We cover movement and manufacturing defects under normal use — issues that come from how the watch was made, not from misuse or accidents.
If something doesn’t function as it should under everyday wear, we’ll make it right.
What’s not considered a defect
Normal signs of use such as strap wear, light scratches, ageing of leather and surface finishes,
or damage caused by strong impacts, drops, misuse or moisture beyond the rated water resistance, are not treated as manufacturing defects — even if they affect the movement.
That said, we’re always happy to advise on repair, service options or strap replacement if you need help.
How to get help
If you ever have an issue, simply contact us with:
We’ll assess the situation and propose the best solution — whether that’s repair, replacement or further servicing guidance — so you’re not left to figure it out on your own.

Halcyon’s elegance begins with porcelain itself: a milky-white tone, a soft sheen, and a calm presence that never feels loud.
It doesn’t sparkle. It glows.
Not in a flashy way, but in a gentle, quiet radiance that makes the dial feel alive—subtle in shade, rich in texture, and endlessly easy to live with.
On the wrist, that porcelain calm becomes part of your temperament: composed, refined, and quietly memorable.
And porcelain’s beauty doesn’t end there. Born from humble clay and perfected by fire, it carries centuries of meaning—giving it a warmth and depth unlike any other dial material.
Porcelain is one of humanity’s oldest—and most sought-after—handcrafted materials, yet porcelain dials remain rare and often expensive for a simple reason:
the romance of kiln-firing is naturally at odds with the strict demands of mechanical watchmaking for precision and flatness.
A movement requires the dial to be flatter than 0.02 mm (about 20 microns, roughly 0.00079 inches—typically finer than a human hair).
But a porcelain dial begins as clay, and the very nature of pine-wood, earth-kiln firing makes that level of flatness difficult to achieve: micro-warping, tiny bubbles, or minute raised spots—often invisible to the naked eye—are common. Any slight deviation can mean the dial must be discarded —so truly successful dials are exceedingly rare.
If you’re interested in the craft, you can find a more detailed explanation in the Halcyon Archive under Discover
in the navigation.
From watchmaking craftsmanship to quality ,very detail is executed to the standards of a higher price tier — usually found in US$ 2,000+ watches.
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.
a type of dial you’d normally expect only in USD 2,000+ pieces.
Even the slender hands are fully three-dimensional, 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.
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.
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
Journey Calendar 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; all of our wrist shots, however, are on a wrist of about 16.2 cm, slightly below that range, where it already looks composed and well-balanced.

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.
Each Journey batch finishes only a few hundred pieces in total.
Across variants, that often means just a few dozen per reference — and even fewer when averaged month to month.
Because labor and material costs continue to rise, we adjust pricing in small steps from batch to batch to keep standards consistent.
So if the piece you want is available, the simplest advice is: secure it sooner rather than later.
If it’s out of stock, subscribe and we’ll notify you first when the next allocation opens — plus low-stock and pricing updates.
From checkout to your wrist, we take responsibility — including international shipping — so you don’t have to worry about what happens in between.
No surprise fees on delivery — the price you see is the price you pay.
If customs, returns, loss or damage occur in transit, we handle it and make sure a replacement or solution reaches you.
Time to live with the watch at home, plus long-term support if anything goes wrong.
If the price drops within 90 days, we refund the difference.
Journey Calendar is the more refined, light-focused side of the collection: three-dimensional hands, a curved seconds hand, and the details of the date window and crown all catch the light, yet are held in check by the soft glow of porcelain, making it radiant but never loud.
If you prefer a calmer, more pared-back dial with more open porcelain space, Journey may be the better choice.
Precision with Poetic Rhythm
Elegant serif details bring clarity and grace to each numeral, where porcelain’s translucent glaze deepens every stroke with light and shadow. Here, the precision of modern timekeeping blends with the flowing beauty of calligraphy. Each curve and terminal reveals a quiet rhythm, creating a dial that is both highly legible and artistically refined.
Structure, Balance, and Timeless Harmony
Inspired by the disciplined elegance of classical Chinese woodblock printing, this design unites historical artistry with modern precision. On porcelain’s luminous glaze, the refined serif strokes reveal a sense of quiet strength and harmony — a rhythm anchored in tradition, yet enduring in timeless balance.
Poetry in Motion
Flowing like calligraphy upon porcelain’s radiant glaze, this design carries a sense of scholarly elegance and quiet rhythm. At 11 and 12 o’clock, red seal stamps evoke the completion of time’s eternal cycle, infusing each passing hour with warmth and poetic depth.
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.
Each Halcyon Journey Calendar includes a genuine leather strap—soft, minimalist, and effortlessly refined.
