His early work\u2014fully open\u2011worked <a href=\"https:\/\/timeandtidewatches.com\/felipe-pikullik-fpsk25-introducing\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">FPSK pieces<\/a>, the aventurine\u2011backed Sternenhimmel and a three\u2011dimensional <a href=\"https:\/\/timeandtidewatches.com\/the-independedit-felipe-pikullik-mondphase-1\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">moonphase<\/a>\u2014have built a reputation for high\u2011contrast finishing, crisp interior angles and a habit of putting the movement on stage. Production has remained intentionally small, the workshop hands\u2011on, and the aesthetic consistent: mechanical architecture treated as design, not just engineering. The result has been watches that read as studies in structure, with the gear train, balance and bridges given equal billing to the time display. It\u2019s an approach that has resonated with collectors who prefer evidence of the hand at work over mass\u2011produced sheen, and it has positioned the <a href=\"https:\/\/timeandtidewatches.com\/best-german-watch-brands\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">German<\/a> atelier as one of the more distinctive voices among Europe\u2019s younger independents.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-260608 size-full ewww_webp_lazy_load\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"Felipe Pikullik Moonphase II Bronze Lifestyle\" width=\"1750\" height=\"1167\" data-lazy- data-lazy- data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Felipe-Pikullik-Moonphase-II-Bronze-Lifestyle.jpg\" data-lazy-src-webp=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Felipe-Pikullik-Moonphase-II-Bronze-Lifestyle.jpg.webp\" data-lazy-srcset-webp=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Felipe-Pikullik-Moonphase-II-Bronze-Lifestyle.jpg.webp 1750w, https:\/\/timeandtidewatches.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Felipe-Pikullik-Moonphase-II-Bronze-Lifestyle-1000x667.jpg.webp 1000w\"\/><\/p>\n<p>That trajectory now reaches an inflection point with the Mondphase II. It moves Pikullik from reworked \u00e9bauches to a calibre conceived <a href=\"https:\/\/timeandtidewatches.com\/in-house-movements\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">in\u2011house<\/a> and presented dial\u2011side, establishing a new \u201cSerie Universum\u201d that ties his cosmic motifs to a fully authored layout. The familiar signatures remain\u2014aventurine sky, sculptural balance, a visible moonphase and a 24\u2011hour indication\u2014but the intent is different: this is a statement about where the atelier is headed.<\/p>\n<p>Rather than carving back an existing movement, the Calibre FPMP2 starts at the drawing board. Wheel positions, bridge shapes and the way light travels across the dial were decisions, not constraints, and the whole composition has been arranged to feel like a small mechanical landscape rather than a watch with a conventional dial.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-260610 size-full ewww_webp_lazy_load\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"Felipe Pikullik Cal FPMP2 Close Up\" width=\"1750\" height=\"1167\" data-lazy- data-lazy- data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Felipe-Pikullik-Cal.-FPMP2-Close-Up.jpg\" data-lazy-src-webp=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Felipe-Pikullik-Cal.-FPMP2-Close-Up.jpg.webp\" data-lazy-srcset-webp=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Felipe-Pikullik-Cal.-FPMP2-Close-Up.jpg.webp 1750w, https:\/\/timeandtidewatches.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Felipe-Pikullik-Cal.-FPMP2-Close-Up-1000x667.jpg.webp 1000w\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The movement itself is <a href=\"https:\/\/timeandtidewatches.com\/best-manual-winding-watches\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">hand-wound<\/a>, running at 3 Hz with a power reserve of around 40 hours, and it integrates hours, minutes, <a href=\"https:\/\/timeandtidewatches.com\/best-moonphase\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">moonphase<\/a> and a 24\u2011hour indicator into the openworked, dial\u2011side architecture. Pikullik describes roughly 90% of the calibre as being in\u2011house, and the design reflects that freedom. By fixing the train and the key organs where he wanted them rather than where an inherited plate allowed, he could balance readability with theatre. The off\u2011centre chapter ring pulls the eye away from the centre, leaving space to expose the gear train, while the moonphase and 24\u2011hour displays operate as functional punctuation points within the layout.<\/p>\n<p>There is a practical dimension to the project as well: the setting and winding works are executed as a self\u2011contained module. That choice promises simpler <a href=\"https:\/\/timeandtidewatches.com\/watch-servicing-cost-education\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">service<\/a> in years to come and, in day\u2011to\u2011day workshop terms, gives younger watchmakers an entry point into assembling a complex piece without risking the rest of the calibre.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-260611 size-full ewww_webp_lazy_load\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"Felipe Pikullik Moonphase II Steel Lifestyle\" width=\"1750\" height=\"1167\" data-lazy- data-lazy- data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Felipe-Pikullik-Moonphase-II-Steel-Lifestyle.jpg\" data-lazy-src-webp=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Felipe-Pikullik-Moonphase-II-Steel-Lifestyle.jpg.webp\" data-lazy-srcset-webp=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Felipe-Pikullik-Moonphase-II-Steel-Lifestyle.jpg.webp 1750w, https:\/\/timeandtidewatches.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Felipe-Pikullik-Moonphase-II-Steel-Lifestyle-1000x667.jpg.webp 1000w\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Much of the appeal of this watch lies in its <a href=\"https:\/\/timeandtidewatches.com\/watch-finishing-techniques\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">finishing<\/a>. Pikullik\u2019s watches have long been noted for generous anglage and true interior angles\u2014details that absorb a surprising number of hours when done by hand\u2014and that discipline is on display again. Edges catch the light, surfaces alternate from brushed to mirror\u2011polished, and the large balance bridge has a broad bevel that acts almost like a reflector. The most deliberate flourish is what the atelier calls the \u201cHeart of Reflection\u201d: the area around the balance has been milled into a contoured, highly polished recess, so the oscillation can be read in multiple reflections.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-260612 size-full ewww_webp_lazy_load\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"Felipe Pikullik Moonphase II Dial Baseplate\" width=\"1750\" height=\"1167\" data-lazy- data-lazy- data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Felipe-Pikullik-Moonphase-II-Dial-Baseplate.jpg\" data-lazy-src-webp=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Felipe-Pikullik-Moonphase-II-Dial-Baseplate.jpg.webp\" data-lazy-srcset-webp=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Felipe-Pikullik-Moonphase-II-Dial-Baseplate.jpg.webp 1750w, https:\/\/timeandtidewatches.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Felipe-Pikullik-Moonphase-II-Dial-Baseplate-1000x667.jpg.webp 1000w\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The backdrop is a sheet of <a href=\"https:\/\/timeandtidewatches.com\/best-stone-dial-watches\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">aventurine<\/a> fitted directly to the baseplate. It\u2019s a familiar material in modern watchmaking, but less common at this scale, and it does more than provide a starry sky. By placing the stone underneath the architecture, Pikullik makes the mechanics feel suspended, a decision that suits the astronomical theme while also adding visual depth. Achieving that effect required a wafer\u2011thin insert machined to match the contours of the plate. The suppliers reportedly questioned whether it could be done reliably, yet the workshop persisted with trial fittings until the stone sat flush. The result is restrained in photographs and more pronounced in person, where the gold\u2011toned inclusions spark under changing light and the layered structure reads clearly from different angles.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-260613 size-full ewww_webp_lazy_load\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"Felipe Pikullik Moonphase II Platinum Profile\" width=\"1750\" height=\"1167\" data-lazy- data-lazy- data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Felipe-Pikullik-Moonphase-II-Platinum-Profile.jpg\" data-lazy-src-webp=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Felipe-Pikullik-Moonphase-II-Platinum-Profile.jpg.webp\" data-lazy-srcset-webp=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Felipe-Pikullik-Moonphase-II-Platinum-Profile.jpg.webp 1750w, https:\/\/timeandtidewatches.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Felipe-Pikullik-Moonphase-II-Platinum-Profile-1000x667.jpg.webp 1000w\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The case aims for everyday practicality without diluting the theatrical dial. It measures 41mm in diameter, 10.5mm in thickness and 50mm lug\u2011to\u2011lug, with 50 metres of <a href=\"https:\/\/timeandtidewatches.com\/watch-waterproof-guide\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">water resistance<\/a>. The silhouette is familiar to those who know the brand: brushed surfaces on top, polished chamfers along the lugs, and a clean mid\u2011case that doesn\u2019t compete with the show above. A sapphire crystal keeps the view unobstructed, and a calfskin strap with a pin buckle keeps the tone understated.<\/p>\n<p>Closing thoughts<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-260614 size-full ewww_webp_lazy_load\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"Felipe Pikullik Cal FPMP2 Close Up 2\" width=\"1750\" height=\"1167\" data-lazy- data-lazy- data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Felipe-Pikullik-Cal.-FPMP2-Close-Up-2.jpg\" data-lazy-src-webp=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Felipe-Pikullik-Cal.-FPMP2-Close-Up-2.jpg.webp\" data-lazy-srcset-webp=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Felipe-Pikullik-Cal.-FPMP2-Close-Up-2.jpg.webp 1750w, https:\/\/timeandtidewatches.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Felipe-Pikullik-Cal.-FPMP2-Close-Up-2-1000x667.jpg.webp 1000w\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The Mondphase II launches as a limited edition of 20 pieces in each metal: <a href=\"https:\/\/timeandtidewatches.com\/best-bronze-watches\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">bronze<\/a>, stainless steel and <a href=\"https:\/\/timeandtidewatches.com\/best-platinum-watches\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">platinum<\/a>. That structure mirrors the rest of the catalogue, where scarcity and small\u2011team production keep output contained. It also underlines the point that the Mondphase II is a directional watch for the brand. The new Serie Universum label is meant to house the atelier\u2019s most complex, internally developed work, and the thinking behind FPMP2\u2014modular elements for service, a display that favours depth and legibility, and space for hand\u2011finishing to matter\u2014reads like a roadmap rather than a one\u2011off exercise.<\/p>\n<p>Felipe Pikullik Mondphase II pricing and availability<\/p>\n<p>The Felipe Pikullik Mondphase II is limited to 20 pieces per case material and is now available directly from <a href=\"https:\/\/felipe-pikullik.de\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Felipe Pikullik<\/a>. <strong>Price: \u20ac45,000 (stainless steel), \u20ac58,000 (bronze), \u20ac65,000 (platinum)<\/strong><\/p>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"200\">Brand<\/td>\n<td width=\"565\">Felipe Pikullik<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Model<\/td>\n<td width=\"565\">Mondphase II<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Case Dimensions<\/td>\n<td>41mm (D) x 10.5mm (T) x 50mm (LTG)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Case Material<\/td>\n<td width=\"565\">Stainless steel, bronze or platinum<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Water Resistance<\/td>\n<td>50 metres<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Crystal(s)<\/td>\n<td>Sapphire front and back<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Dial<\/td>\n<td>Openworked<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Strap<\/td>\n<td width=\"565\">Calfskin leather with pin buckle<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Movement<\/td>\n<td>Calibre FPMP2, in-house, hand-wound<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Functions<\/td>\n<td>Hours, minutes, moonphase, 24-hour indicator<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Availability<\/td>\n<td>From November 2025<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Price<\/td>\n<td width=\"565\">\u20ac45,000 (stainless steel)<br \/>\u20ac58,000 (bronze)<br \/>\u20ac65,000 (platinum)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jason Lee Felipe Pikullik introduces the Mondphase II, equipped with the Calibre FPMP2: the brand\u2019s first-ever in-house movement&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":187263,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[74],"tags":[18,19,17,105114,98295,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-187262","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-eire","9":"tag-ie","10":"tag-ireland","11":"tag-metagerman-watch-brand","12":"tag-metamicrobrands","13":"tag-technology"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/115571255068270941","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/187262","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=187262"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/187262\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/187263"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=187262"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=187262"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=187262"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
