Aren Bazerkanian started Havid Nagan timepieces and the NH00 is the first to be released. First announced in February 2022, the watch was only released in early 2023 after some delays due to supply chain issues.
This is the first timepiece from the brand and it is called the Founder's Edition.
The HN00 came in three dial variations - Blue, Jade (Green) and Plum (Purple). As I understand it, the Arka Blue will be a one time release (limited to 100 pieces) and the blue dial will not be released again.
Encased in Grade-5 Titanium, the 40.7mm timepiece fits well on my smallish wrist as the case back is curved.
What impresses me is the dial finishing...
The hand guilloché dial is finished in lacquer giving that shine (and reflection).
And very well finished too - take a look at those 12 o'clock markers!
While the design came from Aren in Los Angeles, the timepiece is Swiss Made.
The case is quite tall at almost 12mm.
But the curved design makes the timepiece a joy to wear. Fits nicely on my wrist.
The ASE200 movement is made by Schwartz Etienne featuring a micro-rotor.
The micro-rotor had a bi-directional winding mechanism and provides about 86 hours of power reserve.
Pretty impressive movement and finish for a timepiece at that value
And that light blue strap... what a perfect match!
What comes after the HN00? Well, Havid Nagan is already working on something new. Stay tuned for more interesting thing to come from the brand.
