Hulsman Easy Perpetual – The Timepiece

This watch reflects years of dedication, perseverance, and passion.

It carries Machiel Hulsman's signature case shape with open lugs.
It has an in-house movement made from traditional materials.
The perpetual calendar is Machiel Hulsman's proudest achievement.


After months of design and calculation, Machiel Hulsman is ready to build it with you.
  • The date hand jumps over the two prisms at 2 and 4 o’clock to keep them visible.

  • On the back, you see the day and month display, plus the leap year indicator.

  • No pushers or correctors are needed.

  • This space is used for a world’s first — prisms that show the month and day of the week on the side of the case.

Dial Features

  • Day-night indicator with aventurine skies to tell you if it’s day or night.

  • Winding indicator on the left, reminding you when to wind.

  • Over 90 hours of power reserve means you won’t wind it often.

  • The open tip reads the inner minute tracks near the prisms.

Movement Details

  • 21,600 bph free-sprung balance floating 0.15 mm under a sapphire balance bridge.

  • The movement appears to hover in mid-air.

  • Visible gears with fine anglage and circular graining.

  • Mirror-polished pinions with long shafts.
