The Embodiment of Timelessness
Your journey begins on the shores of Lake Zürich, and winds up towards the medieval castle of Rapperswil towards the lush, hilly landscape of the Ricken. As you climb higher, you pass small, century old settlements gently nestled among the soft, tender slopes of the mountains, grasslands, and forests.
Breathing in deeply, you find your senses pleasantly greeted by the fragrant aromas of sweet pine needles and wildflowers. Heinz Hugentobler chose these idyllic landscapes to hone his passion for watchmaking and build his 'Atelier de Manufacture‘, after many years of working with the OMEGA Watch Company.
It is within this tranquility and solitude, in which PekhoR came to life. Far removed from the turbulence of city life and industrial mass production norms, Tseten Gyalzur, along with his partners, Heinz Hugentobler ad Cyrano Devanthey, developed a watch that embodies the same timelessness of its surroundings.
PekhoR watches are high quality collector's items, traditionally crafted using classic materials that underline their true value. Hidden on the back of the first PekhoR limited watch series you find a minted silver medallion that serves as a testament to their collaboration; An image well-known in Far Eastern legends. A tale of how seemingly impossible feats are achieved by joining forces and respecting one another. It is this ancient wisdom that serves as a trusted companion on the path to the future.
