Tribute
In an interview with watch magazine Monochrome Watches Hubert Pellikaan said: ‘That’s the good thing when you’re doing it all by yourself. You’re allowed to do everything you like. And you can even put your name on it.’
It also means you can put the name of someone else on it if you think that person deserves all the attention. And so Hubert made a watch especially for the late obscure Chinese watch maker Kiu Tai Yu.
This watch is elegant and stands out at the same time. It has a 40 mm stainless steel case and Breguet-style hands.
It is a fitting – yet humble – tribute to the Chinese master, who gained a certain cult status in the 1990s within the watch enthousiast community.

Watch enthousiasts will immediately recognize this movement as one of the most reliable and sturdy automatic movements from Switzerland.
At the same time the movement is also very accurate. This is the main reason why this movement has been used for decades by a lot of watch brands, some of them very famous indeed.
Still, good is not good enough for Hubert, so all the final adjustments are done by Pellikaan timing.
