About Felipe Pikullik

While dedication from an early age is often seen among independent watchmakers, it is rare to see them form their own brand very early into adulthood. Completing his watchmaking education in Glashütte, Germany in 2014, then going on to work with Rolf Lang as an apprentice to refine his craft, Felipe Pikullik founded his own brand in 2017 at only 23 years of age. Based in Berlin, Felipe Pikullik manufactures modern timepieces that highlight traditional craft and hand finishing, focusing on quality over quantity.

Felipe Pikullik History

Born in 1994, Felipe Pikullik’s journey into watchmaking started quite early, with him disassembling and reassembling watches by the age of 13. In 2012, he enrolled in watchmaking school in Glashütte, Germany, the center of watchmaking within Germany. His dedication to learning his craft gained the attention of his instructors, dedicating much of his free time to refining his skills. After completing watchmaking school, Felipe Pikullik worked with Rolf Lang in 2014, focusing on research and development, gaining a great deal of technical knowledge and refining his craftsmanship. In 2015, Felipe Pikullik returned to Berlin, where he began work in high-end watch repair. In 2017, he decided to set out on his own, creating his own brand and unveiling the Prius Collection, featuring five fully skeletonized watches. From there, he focused on creating unique designs, building a list of clients based on word of mouth, gaining attention for his high level of quality and craftsmanship. In 2020, he started to have permanent models offered in his collection, starting with the ZBM1. He has also expanded his team, including mentorship programs, fostering future talents within watchmaking. He also developed his own 3D moonphase complication, which gained him a GPHG nomination in 2023. Felipe Pikullik continues to find ways to further refine his craft, create innovative designs, and offer clients high quality, hand finished timepieces.

Felipe Pikullik Collections

Felipe Pikullik’s catalogue currently consists of 5 collections. There is the Sternenheimel, Moonphase One, FPSK Series, HTH, and Klassik collections, each with their own personality.

Sternenheimel

The Felipe Pikullik Sternenheimel collection is an ode to the cosmos, with its stunning blue or green aventurine dial with diamond indices. Available in 38.5mm or 41mm, there is also the option of diamond set lugs. The manually wound movement is hand skeletonized and finished, including a hand-engraved balance cock.

Moonphase 1

Continuing to rely on traditional techniques executed by hand and manual tools, the Moonphase 1 features an in-house developed moonphase display that features a three dimensional rotating representation of the moon from the perspective of the southern hemisphere, an ode to Felipe Pikullik’s Brazilian heritage. The stainless steel case houses a manually wound movement, with exposed gearing on the dial side, again to display Felipe Pikullik’s high level of craftsmanship. Nominated in 2023 for a GPHG Award in the Astronomy category, there is an Anthracite dial version and a meteorite dial available as well.

FPSK Series

The FPSK Series stands for Felipe Pikullik Skeleton, a yearly series started in 2022 that recognizes the first watches to carry the Felipe Pikullik name on the dial. In 2024, FPSK series features three versions of a fully skeletonized movement, one fully engraved with a white rhodium finish, one fully engraved with a black rhodium finish, and finally one that is black rhodium finish with no engraving. Each version highlights different finishing techniques, displaying the brand’s expertise. The FPSK25 features a manually wound movement with a regulator display, again fully skeletonized and engraved, with both black rhodium and rose gold finishes. Every open worked bridge, polished bevel, and facet of the movement and case are hand finished to the highest standards.

HTH

The focus of the HTH collection is the hand finished dial. The brass dial has a frosted finish that is black rhodium coated to create the anthracite finish. The chapter ring and hands and black polished, creating contrast through finishing techniques. Available in 38.5mm or 41mm, there are also different numeral styles available, allowing customers to customize their timepiece. Blending both traditional and modern aesthetics , the HTH collection is Felipe Pikullik’s take on contemporary haute-horology.

Klassik

The most traditional in appearance of Felipe Pikullik’s watches, the Klassik collection features his own case design, with a more traditional solid colored dial with stick indices. Available in black, green, or blue, with 38.5mm and 41mm case options, the Klassik collection still highlights the watchmaker’s attention to detail, especially with the hand finished manually wound movement that can be seen through the display case back.

Felipe Pikullik Movements

Likely the most important aspect of Felipe Pikullik watches are the movements.

The Klassik collection has the option of a black, blue or green dial, and the Sternenheimel collection offers either a blue or green aventurine glass dial.

Felipe Pikullik Watch Materials

Felipe Pikullik utilizes stainless steel for the cases of their watches, sapphire crystals for the front and rear displays, and calfskin leather for straps. Dial materials used are brass and aventurine glass for models with a more “traditional” dial. The Sternenheimel models feature diamonds on the dial, with optional diamond set lugs.

Felipe Pikullik Watch Types

Felipe Pikullik produces what could be best described as contemporary dress watches. With a focus on traditional designs mixed with contemporary elements, the complications, skeletonization, and case sizes make them display more modern than a truly traditional dress watch.
