LANG & HEYNE x Collector's House GEORG – Special Edition Penny Watch


LANG & HEYNE x Collector's House – GEORG Penny Watch Gold Special Edition 2025

Dresden, Germany / Seoul, South Korea – 25th September 2025 - Lang & Heyne proudly announces its entry into the South Korean market through an exclusive partnership with Collectors House, Seoul’s respected boutique for independent watchmaking.

To mark both the beginning of this cooperation and the 7th anniversary of Collectors House, Lang & Heyne unveils the Georg Special Edition Penny Watch. An edition strictly limited to seven pieces, created for the collector community that surrounds Penny Watch Seoul.

A New Chapter in South Korea

Collectors House has established itself as a destination for connoisseurs in Seoul, curating a community of enthusiasts and giving independent watchmaking a stage in Korea

With shared values of rarity, authenticity, and craft, Collectors House is the natural partner to represent Lang & Heyne in the region.

A Historic First for Korea

This is the very first watch in Korea created in collaboration with a high-end independent watchmaker. While Korea’s watch market has expanded considerably, the culture of collecting remains relatively underdeveloped and lacks diversity. In this context, such a collaboration is an unprecedented milestone.

Even globally, it is rare for a club of dedicated collectors to produce a limited-edition timepiece. Beyond personal pride, this collaboration represents a meaningful statement, showcasing to the world that Korea has passionate collectors and a vibrant watch community.

A Bespoke Design, Created by Collectors

The Georg Penny Watch Edition reflects a design fully directed by Penny Watch. The dial layout, color scheme, hands, and crown cabochon were all chosen by the community, while bespoke engravings on the movement were made at our request.

The design concept, initially inspired by the traditional Korean jade tone and ultimately finalized in emerald green, imbues the watch with an additional layer of significance. Complementing this is a specially commissioned strap, crafted in close collaboration with the head of 109 Leather Atelier over several months, exclusively for this edition.

Sold Out Ahead of Official Release

Although today marks the official launch of the Georg Penny Watch Edition, all seven pieces of the limited series had already been sold out within the Penny Watch community.

Considering the relatively high price and being a less popular independent watchmaker, there were initial concerns, yet every timepiece was successfully allocated among members. I think this outcome underscores the strength of Korea’s market and Penny Watch’s community, demonstrating the capacity to fully embrace independent watchmaking. It further paves the way for future collaborations with independent watchmakers, offering opportunities for partnerships shaped through the perspective of Korean collectors.

The Ceramic Dial – Rare Craft, Refined Finish

The Georg Special Edition Penny Watch introduces a dial that exemplifies Lang & Heyne’s pursuit of artistry and precision:

  • Material & Technique: White ceramic, chosen for its resilience and timeless clarity. Unlike enamel, ceramic’s density and resistance require diamond tools for chamfering and finishing.

  • Surface: The main plate beneath is treated with givrée technique, producing a frosted, light-catching texture and finished in a refined turquoise–mint tone.

  • Detailing: The ceramic elements are laser-engraved before arriving at Lang & Heyne. In Dresden, each piece is carefully refined with chamfered edges and polished surfaces using diamond tools and pastes, creating subtle three-dimensionality and brilliance.

  • Anniversary Element: The numeral “7” is discreetly emphasized within the small seconds, commemorating Collectors House’ seventh anniversary.

The Movement – Caliber VIII

At its heart beats Lang & Heyne’s Caliber VIII, a fully visible manual-winding movement, renowned for its architectural presence:

  • Hand-engraved edition marking on the movement, dedicating it to Collectors House.

  • A stop-seconds mechanism and balance with gold screws and Breguet overcoil hairspring.

The Strap – Crafted by 109 Atelier

To complete the timepiece, Lang & Heyne collaborated with 109 Atelier, a Seoul-based leather workshop founded in 2009. Since its beginnings, 109 Atelier has remained committed to originality and quality above all else. In an era often driven by mass production, the atelier continues to work exclusively through bespoke commissions - an ethos deeply aligned with independent watchmaking.

For this edition, 109 Atelier selected Ecbatana leather by Badalassi Carlo, the pinnacle of Italian vegetable tanning. Crafted using the traditional Vacchetta technique with natural oils and powdered bovine shinbone, the leather develops extraordinary depth and individuality. Each hide is deliberately marked by artisans, ensuring that no two straps are alike.

This philosophy of heritage and originality mirrors the spirit of Lang & Heyne: crafting timepieces and details that aspire to timeless meaning.

Exclusivity and Availability

With only seven pieces worldwide, the Georg Special Edition Penny Watch is both a celebration of Collectors House’ anniversary and a milestone in Lang & Heyne’s journey into South Korea109 Atelier

KERBEDANZ – MAXSPOR GR8 Monopoussoir Chronograph ARUBA BLUE Edition

 

KERBEDANZMAXSPOR GR8 Monopoussoir 30 Minute Chronograph Black Titane ARUBA BLUE Edition - 2025

 An outsider brand named KERBEDANZ

From ancient arenas to modern stadiums, the spirit of competition has never ceased to transcend man, pushing him to defy the laws of possibility. For those who seek excellence and live every second as a conquest, there could be no more ideal companion than the MAXSPOR GR8, a Monopusher chronograph by KERBEDANZ, which embodies the perfect symbiosis between the art of sport and watchmaking precision.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

The name MAXSPOR was not chosen at random. It is the modern echo of the great champions of History, the gladiators of yesteryear who fought for glory and honors. Directly taking up the basis of the term *Maximus* which refers to the greatest figures of Antiquity; MAXSPOR embodies the Men who, like today's athletes, have pushed the limits of their condition to inscribe their names in the annals of time.

The Micromechanical show

If the KERBEDANZ three-nose balance wheel that powers the MAXSPOR is so remarkable, it is largely due to its innovative architecture and cutting-edge technologies. Inverted and raised above the plate and dial, it creates a striking visual experience, offering a true spectacle of micromechanics in motion.

This balance spring, made from the exclusive Optimox® alloy (protected by four patents), is distinguished by its exceptional resistance to shocks and thermal variations, thus guaranteeing optimal performance in all circumstances.

At the heart of this single-pusher chronograph, designed to master time with flawless precision, the inverted balance spring alone symbolizes watchmaking excellence. Each cog, each component fits together with a perfection worthy of the greatest athletes in action. The mechanism comes to life with fluidity, revealing all the technical and aesthetic beauty of this masterpiece through a transparent case back. The MAXSPOR thus transcends the limits of traditional watchmaking, where mastery of time becomes a true sporting performance, combining innovation and visual refinement

The MAXSPOR, with its sleek design and dynamic lines, perfectly embodies the spirit of speed and competition. Each curve evokes the momentum and fluidity of great athletes, reminding us that every gesture is an exploit, every second a challenge.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

MAXSPOR symbolizes the quest for ultimate performance, merging technical innovation and sporty aesthetics for those who live in action. It is a timepiece designed to capture the intensity of every moment. Its dial is a racetrack, where time flows fluidly, in perfect harmony between sportiness, avant-gardism and robustness.

TITANE GRADE 5

The GR8 MAXSPOR Case is made of grade 5 titanium too, a biocompatible, highly corrosion-resistant and remarkably rigid alloy, which enables the gear train to function effortlessly.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

The alloy is 90% grade 5 titanium, 6% aluminum and 4% vanadium. This combination further increases the material’s mechanical properties, which explains its frequent use in very exigent areas like the aerospace, aeronautics and automotive industries.

The Competitive Spirit Engraved in Time

Every detail of the MAXSPOR is designed to embody the competitive spirit and the thirst for surpassing oneself. Whether you are a top athlete, an enlightened amateur of sports performances or an aficionado of fine watchmaking, this single-pusher chronograph accompanies you in your moments of glory, transforming each second into a victory. Because, as in Antiquity, every great story deserves to be engraved in time.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

With the MAXSPOR, precision becomes your best ally and time your playground. A tribute to the athletes of Antiquity, a reference to modern legends, a masterpiece of micromechanics that celebrates the greatness of human performance.

MAXSPOR – Because time is the greatest of competitions.

ARCTURUS WATCHES - LC-2 Aventurine Vanda Tourbillon

ARCTURUS Watches – LION CITY LC-2 Aventurine Vanda Tourbillon 2025


The Arcturus LC-2 Vanda Tourbillon is a tribute to Singapore’s vibrant spirit, drawing inspiration from its national flower, the Vanda Miss Joaquim orchid. This timepiece embodies resilience and hybridity, mirroring the nation’s cultural tapestry.

Encased in a 44mm cushion-shaped 316L stainless steel case, the watch showcases a harmonious blend of high-polished, circular, straight, and sunburst brushed finishes. 


The hybrid caseback features an embossed Vanda Miss Joaquim motif with an eyelet opening, offering a glimpse into the Peacock SL-5200 flying tourbillon movement.


The dial is available in three distinct materials: aventurine, malachite, and white guilloché, each reflecting different facets of Singapore’s natural beauty. 

Faceted hands are meticulously aligned with the beveled orchid coin at 12 o’clock, enhancing the watch’s intricate design.



Powered by a hand-wound Peacock SL-5200 movement, the LC-2 Vanda Tourbillon offers a 48-hour power reserve and operates at 21,600 vibrations per hour. 


The watch is water-resistant up to 50 meters and is complemented by a full-grain bovine leather strap with a crocodile belly texture.


This timepiece is a testament to Arcturus’s commitment to blending cultural heritage with horological innovation.
