Founded in 2018, WMT (Watch Experimental UNIT) has swiftly emerged as a dynamic wristwatch brand based in Hong Kong. Guided by a brand philosophy integrating second-hand creation, vintage craftsmanship, and artistic elements, WMT embodies a distinct vision within the realm of timepieces. With its creativity in vintage techniques and a penchant for aesthetic designs harmoniously blending retro and contemporary styles, WMT has rapidly garnered a loyal following in recent years. From Italy and Japan to the United States, WMT is an enduring source of inspiration and surprise for wristwatch collectors worldwide who enjoys a bit of playfulness within their collection.

WMT released a homage of the historically important Patek Philippe Calatrava ref. 96 Quantieme Lune belonged to the Last emperor of China, Aisin Gioro Puyi sold by PHILLIPS in 2023. With equal appreciation of creativity as watch enthusiast alike, a unique set of three homage to celebrated record breaking timepieces are created: Patek Philippe Calatrava ref. 96 QL, Paul Newman’s Rolex Paul Newman ref. 6239 and last but not least, Rolex Ref. 6062 previously owned by Bao Dai, the last emperor of Vietnam.

Playing on the resemblance and iconic details, WMT collaborated with Chocomoo, a street fashion illustrator form Japan. For all three timepieces, she has infused modern flair with hand-painted pop art details that offer a fun re-interpretation of some of the most iconic timepieces sold by Phillips in recent times.
