Fam Al Hut: Breaking the Algorithm
Fam Al Hut, a new Chinese watch brand, is making waves in the indie watchmaking scene with its innovative designs and attention to detail. Founded by Xinyan Dai and Lukas Youn, the brand aims to challenge the perception that haute horlogerie is exclusively Swiss. Their flagship timepiece, the Mark 1 Möbius, won the "Audacity Prize" at the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie, capturing the interest of collectors with its unique features such as a biaxial tourbillon and retrograde complications. The brand emphasizes keeping production within China while offering high-quality craftsmanship, with the starting price of the Möbius at $32,000 considered a competitive entry point for a tourbillon watch. Fam Al Hut is also pushing boundaries with materials like Amorphous Zirconium for their limited-edition Nebula. The brand's commitment to creating ultra-high-end timepieces and redefining traditional watchmaking positions it as a significant player in the luxury watch market, aiming to establish China as a key manufacturer in haute horlogerie.
