Gathered up some of the recent articles discussing the latest release of the Deconstructed.

However, what truly distinguishes the dial is its exceptional finishing. Resembling a movement plate, the dial plates exhibit bevelled edges, creating a polished contrast against the textured top surface. This exquisite treatment extends to other visible components on the front, such as the hour markers, hands, and movement bridges, all carefully finished to highlight the brand’s appreciation of traditional craftsmanship in movement detailing.

The new watch is their most ambitious yet by a large margin, incorporating a new in-house movement and pushing the limits of their manufacturing process seemingly as far as they’ll go. If you look back on the watches they were making just a few years ago, the Deconstructed represents a fairly enormous leap in confidence and conviction in what the brand is doing. It’s genuinely exciting.

For the better part of half a decade, we have been keeping close tabs on a very specific watchmaker of Dutch origin; Michiel Holthinrichs. This young man, 33 years of age now, has a very different approach to design compared to the vast majority of watchmaking companies out there. Utilizing his background as an architect to the fullest, Holthinrichs Watches have been pioneering 3D printed technology in combination with ornamental design. The inaugural model of the brand, the Ornament 1 has recently gone out of production and new creations were to be expected to take its place. The first new creation to emerge from the Atelier in Delft is the DECONSTRUCTED, a watch that looks like nothing else on the planet!

Michiel Holthinrichs has always been on a very personal path to horological enlightenment. Having trained as an architect, his method of watch design is marked by a fresh, studious approach. How it shows is in the way Michiel seems to have a deeper, more thoughtful agenda than a lot of small brands, and he doesn’t shy away from polarizing designs. The pure otherness of Holthinrichs Watches has always resonated with me as we certainly have enough homage in this world. And by introducing the DECONSTRUCTED, Michiel is cementing his position within European horology.

A little over a month ago, I had the chance to review the incredible Holthinrichs RAW Ornament, and at the end of the review, I had the less incredible task of sharing that the brand was discontinuing two of its three models as it reorganizes its product line and strategy. Well, Holthinrichs has just released the first model of that brand evolution, the Holthinrichs DECONSTRUCTED. While the all-caps text is from the brand, it’s not a far cry from how I feel about this release, which marks an exciting chapter not just for the brand but for 3D printing in watch manufacturing.

Every so often you come across a watchmaker who has a genuinely unique approach to watchmaking that totally changes how you think about watches. Off the top of my head one of the most exciting is Holthinrichs, who produce watches using cutting edge metal 3D printing. In fact, Holthinrichs they’ve just announced their latest project, the Holthinrichs Deconstructed.

Conceptually the new watch is inspired by the deconstructivism movement in art and architecture. Deconstructivism is a movement that involves dissecting and analysing structures in order to challenge existing concepts and reassemble them in new configurations. It’s an approach that goes hand in hand with the process of 3D printing as you literally have to deconstruct and map out every tiny facet of the watch in order to create it.

Throughout an intensive and lengthy process of deconstruction and analysis, all layers of the classical watch, case, dial, movement, hands, and bracelet, are carefully dissected and recomposed to achieve a new and truly integral and radical design where the hierarchical relationships between the components are eliminated, their technical functioning is provocatively exposed, and all parts work together in a dynamic whole.
