The New Furlan Marri Red Hunter, An Officer’s Watch for its Fourth Anniversary

Just four years ago, Andrea Furlan and Hamad Al Marri launched their first timepiece on Kickstarter, a vintage-inspired chronograph powered by a MechaQuartz movement and offered at an accessible price point. At the time, few could’ve predicted how quickly the Furlan Marri brand would take off. But it’s been 4 years now, and Furlan Marri is growing fast, and celebrates these achievements by revealing a special, handsome mechanical watch.

Fast forward to today, and that beginning has blossomed into a diverse and growing collection. Alongside the original MechaQuartz line, there’s now the refined Cornes de Vache series of mechanical dress watches, the retro-futuristic Disco Volante line blending vintage cues with contemporary flair, and on the horizon, a complex calendar watch based on the patented Secular Perpetual Calendar complication developed with Dominique Renaud and Julien Tixier and unveiled for Only Watch as a prototype. To mark its fourth anniversary, Furlan Marri is unveiling the “Red Hunter” Anniversary model, a piece to celebrate how far it has come in such a short time.

The new Furlan Marri Red Hunter Anniversary is a tribute to the past, drawing inspiration from classic hunter-case pocket watches and officer-style wristwatches. It’s an eclectic mix of vintage charm and modern craftsmanship, designed to appeal to a wide range of watch enthusiasts. And with so many details, chances are something about it will strike a chord with you.

The Red Hunter is housed in a compact 36mm stainless steel case (11.6mm thick, including the double caseback) and keeps things refined and wearable. The mostly polished case features a stepped bezel and a hinged hunter-style back – the polished outer surface is left clean, begging for a custom engraving. Open it up, and you’re greeted with engraved markings celebrating Furlan Marri’s fourth anniversary. Under the lid, a sapphire crystal display back, secured with five screws, offers a view of the movement inside. A generously sized, fluted screw-down crown adds to both the functionality and vintage aesthetic, and 100 meters of water resistance makes it practical for daily wear.

Protected by a sapphire crystal with multiple layers of anti-reflective and fingerprint-resistant coating, the black lacquered dial plays with depth. It echoes the stepped bezel design, with a lower outer ring hosting a railroad-style minutes/seconds track, punctuated by double-digit markers every five units. Next, a raised inner section, as if sloping gently toward the centre of the dial, holds polished applied dot hour markers and elaborate, curved Roman numerals at the cardinal points. The polished, domed steel hour and minute hands, paired with a vivid red central seconds hand that adds just the right drop of colour, and keeps things from feeling too classic.

The Furlan Marri Red Hunter Anniversary is powered by the La Joux-Perret G100 self-winding movement, the go-to enhanced replacement to the ETA 2824-2 operating at 28,800 vibrations/hour and providing 68 hours of power reserve. The movement with the engraved tungsten rotor with rose gold coating is decorated with Geneva stripes, snailing, and features heat-blued screws. The watch is worn on a BoR-style stainless steel bracelet closed with a folding buckle; other options include a black leather strap with red stitching or cream leather with a pin buckle. All are included in the box and feature quick-release spring-bars.

The Furlan Marri Red Hunter Anniversary is available for pre-order from April 23rd at 3 PM until May 4th at 10 PM (CET), 2025. After the pre-order window closes, orders will no longer be accepted, and production will begin. The price is CHF 1,650 (excl. tax) or USD 1,830 (excl. tax), which feels relatively fair considering everything Furlan and Marri have packed into this watch. For more, visit furlanmarri.com.
