Independent Atelier

Independent Atelier was established as a horological research platform by Chinese collector and researcher Benjamin Hui, together with members of the GPHG Academy and a circle of independent watchmakers. Its mission is singular and focused: to safeguard, explore, and revive significant yet neglected chapters of independent watchmaking history. Instead of creating collections defined by a fixed aesthetic or house style, the brand functions as a cultural atelier. Every project is developed as an independent study, intended to breathe new life into forgotten or inaccessible watchmaking legacies while respecting their original spirit.
