From the hands of a young German watchmaker whose hand crafted creations are defined by their austere minimalism and immaculate execution, with its individually unique aventurine dial the Sternenhimmel by Felipe Pikullik is a piece of understated beauty. Long before founding his own Berlin-based atelier which he established in 2017, the aspiring watchmaker had already envisioned the perfect watch. Put simply, and in his own words, “I searched for a watch that suits my vision, until I decided to build one myself”. Already renowned in the inner circle of collectors, who recognise that a fresh talent often matures quickly into a Master, his immaculately crafted timepieces are decorated with a refinement which belies his youthfulness, and have a desirability which is enhanced by the irresistible exclusivity of bespoke personalisation. Presented in a rounded case of stainless steel, with contrasting brushed and polished surface finishings, the Sternenhimmel's unfussy styling, with its slender bezel, sculpted lugs and fluted crown combine to give the watch a classic appearance, while its 41mm width give it a contemporary feel.
