A seeming lifetime ago, I met Hubert Pellikaan wandering through the halls of the Palace at BaselWorld.  He had started working on his brand, Pellikaan Timing and I had the opportunity to check out his initial effort.


Needless to say, time has moved forward, and I thought I'd check out where things were now, and discovered the Kiu Tai Yu Tribute (above).  In fairness, this might be one you've seen already, but I think it's pretty cool, so in case you missed it -

The case is stainless steel, the movement is ETA's 2892A2, but the real star of the show is the dial.  It is DOPE!

This is an "off the menu" item, so should you be so inclined, you will need to contact Mr. Pellikaan to do so.  The price as I understand it is 1,690 Euro.

Pellikaan Timing

Sometimes you just can't get exactly what you want.  Sometimes you look, and look and finally settle on something.  Thankfully for watch lovers, Hubert Pellikaan of Pellikaan Timing was not willing to settle.  After hunting high and low for his dream watch, he realized it did not presently exist.  So he took matters into his own hands - and the result is the Pellikaan!
