Howard Hughes Chronograph - HH02
Note: All of our watches are built and shipped from the UK, and so are subject to a tariff of 10% on shipments to the USA. We pay this tariff as we ship, so US customers won’t receive any unexpected fees on delivery. In other words, the price you see and pay at checkout is the price you pay for the watch, nothing more.
Introducing the Howard Hughes Chronograph – HH02
Where elegance meets performance. The HH02 refines the audacious spirit of its predecessor into something sleeker, subtler, yet no less characterful. Inspired by the golden age of air speed racing, this watch is for those who demand more from their timepiece—style, precision, and distinction.
Crafted for Refined Impression
With a slimmed-down profile and reduced case diameter, the HH02 balances bold aesthetics with wearability. Applied indices and inset sub-dials lend depth and intrigue, while the tachymeter chapter ring nods to speed and mechanical legacy. This is a watch that speaks with reserved confidence.

Why the HH02 Resonates

Layered Depth – Inset subdials and applied indices give dimensionality; the tachymeter ring adds both function and vintage racing heritage.
-
Precision & Versatility – The mecha-quartz movement provides accuracy, the chronograph and 24-hour complications add utility, and water resistance ensures ruggedness.
