Ornament 1 at auction
Published on: 07/10/2026
A piece of watchmaking history
Introduced in 2016, Ornament 1 was Michiel Holthinrichs' first design and marked the birth of Holthinrichs Watches. It was the first 3D printed stainless steel timepiece on the market, laying the foundation for the brand and the creations that followed.
Crafted by Michiel
This particular timepiece was made by hand in 2020, before Michiel formed his team later that year. From the hand-finishing of the case and pad-printing of the dial to the anglage on the hands and decoration of the movement, the work was carried out by Michiel himself.
The frosted 14k Pale Gold dial makes this an opportunity to own a piece of our heritage.
