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

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.
