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
-
Subtle Sophistication – Its thinner, smaller case softens the silhouette slightly without losing edge: perfect under a cuff or on a weekend outing.
-
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.
-
Character & Colour – With several dial-and-case colour options, the HH02 becomes more than a timekeeper; it’s an expression of personal taste.
The Riley Assurance
Each HH02 arrives in a bespoke Riley Watch Co presentation box, backed by a 5-year warranty and a 30-day, no-questions-asked return policy. Every piece is crafted and shipped from the UK, which means what you see is the price you pay—even for international orders.
Make a Statement
Our HH02 is a rare blend of design nuance, mechanical flair, and vintage heart. It’s not just a watch—it’s a refined companion, one that complements both sharp tailoring and everyday journeys.

We are Sostter
Sostter began, as all good ideas do, with a lively conversation and a shared sense of frustration. Why had the world of independent design become so serious, so samey, so… beige? Where was the spark, the imagination, the sheer joy of discovering something that made you stop and stare?
We dreamt of a marketplace that celebrated difference — where curious minds could explore a world of independent brands, design-led makers, and thoughtful artisans. A space that felt exciting, human, and beautifully imperfect.
Today, Sostter brings together remarkable people and their creations — from London to Lausanne, Brooklyn to Berlin — uniting makers and discoverers through craftsmanship, creativity, and conscience. Every object tells a story, and every purchase supports an independent brand doing things differently.
This is just the beginning. But enough about us — step inside, explore our world, and see what catches your imagination.
Giving Back
We’re proud to support Sutton Night Watch, a grassroots UK charity making a real difference in the lives of those facing homelessness. Through regular donations of stock, supplies, and essentials, we back their mission to offer warmth, dignity, and practical help to anyone in need — right where it matters most.
