Horologically Unique is closing the HU-01 chapter with the Finale Series, a pair of compact hand-wound dress watches that move the concept closer to the proportions of the Patek Philippe Calatrava ref. 96 while adding discreet gem-set dials.
A smaller case with stronger vintage proportions
The new stainless steel case measures 34mm across, 10.1mm thick including the box-shaped sapphire crystal and 41mm lug to lug, giving the watch a more traditionally scaled dress-watch presence than the earlier 36mm HU-01 models.
The familiar three-part case architecture remains, with straight lugs and a stepped bezel, while the grey-dial Finale uses a brushed case and the jade-dial Finale Yu receives a polished finish.
Diamond markers on silver-grey and Burma jade dials
Both versions use a layout of three baguette-cut and eight round brilliant lab-grown diamonds, a detail that nods to especially rare gem-set Calatrava 96 variants without turning the watch into something overly ornate.
The standard HU-01 Finale pairs a vertically brushed silver-grey dial with a recessed small seconds display, polished pearl minute markers, a railway seconds track and leaf-shaped hands, while the HU-01 Finale Yu uses a Burma jade dial with a cleaner seconds register and dauphine hands.
The Peseux ETA 7001 keeps the profile thin
Inside is the hand-wound Peseux ETA 7001, a 17-jewel movement running at 21,600 vibrations per hour with a power reserve of about 42 hours, finished with striping, perlage and blued screws.
Horologically Unique fits the watch with a closed engraved caseback for a more period-correct feel, while an additional sapphire caseback is included for owners who prefer to view the movement.
Limited runs and accessible pricing
The watches come on grey goat leather straps with quick-release spring bars and steel pin buckles, with production limited to 80 pieces for the silver-grey HU-01 Finale and 30 pieces for the HU-01 Finale Yu.
Pricing is SGD 2,580 for the grey dial model and SGD 2,980 for the jade dial version, placing the series squarely in the lane of collectors who want old-school dress-watch proportions, a manual movement and unusual dial work without entering vintage Calatrava territory.
