MRSTATELESS MAEN, NEW RELEASES 2026, Horoverse, Limited Edition, Triple Calendar 0

Swedish microbrand Maen continues to expand its creative reach with a new collaboration alongside Horoverse. For those unfamiliar, Horoverse is a Hong Kong and Macau-based horology platform focused on watch culture, collecting, and industry coverage, with a strong emphasis on connecting Eastern and Western perspectives within the watch community.

The result of this partnership is the Brooklyn 36 Mahjong Limited Edition—a timepiece that blends traditional Chinese cultural elements with the refined aesthetics of a classic triple calendar watch.

A Classic Foundation with Everyday Appeal

The watch is built on the familiar Brooklyn 36 platform, known for its compact proportions and vintage-inspired elegance. The stainless steel case measures 36 mm in diameter, making it versatile and comfortable for a wide range of wrists. Its design balances brushed and polished finishes, while a radially brushed bezel adds a subtle visual contrast.

A box-shaped sapphire crystal enhances the retro character, while also providing durability for daily wear. Altogether, the case architecture maintains a timeless profile, positioning the watch as an easy everyday companion with a slightly dressy edge.

A Dial Inspired by Mahjong Tradition

The defining feature of this limited edition lies in its richly detailed dial, which draws direct inspiration from Mahjong—a game deeply rooted in Chinese culture.

The dial adopts a green base tone, echoing the surface of traditional Mahjong tables. Contrasting elements include recessed sub-dials with a silver-toned grained finish, along with a minute rehaut that reinforces the watch’s classical layout.

Color accents in green, red, blue, and white subtly reference the palette of Mahjong tiles, creating a vibrant yet balanced composition. The triple calendar display is reinterpreted with Traditional Chinese characters, replacing conventional Western text for both the day and month indications—an uncommon and distinctive detail in contemporary watchmaking.

Subtle Cultural References in the Details

Beyond its overall design, the watch incorporates a series of discreet cultural touches that enhance its storytelling. The first lunar month is intentionally aligned with January, offering a nod to the Chinese New Year and its importance within the calendar.

The date wheel has also been thoughtfully customized with symbolic elements inspired by Mahjong. On the first day of each month, the display reveals the “1-Bamboo” motif—often depicted as a bird—while the eighth day features the Green Dragon symbol, traditionally associated with prosperity and wealth. These refined details remain subtle, yet add an extra layer of meaning for those who take the time to notice them.

Reliable Mechanics with Practical Functionality

Inside the watch is the automatic Miyota 9122 calibre, a well-regarded movement offering a full triple calendar complication. This includes day, date, and month indications, making it both functional and visually engaging.

The movement is housed beneath a closed caseback, which features a unique decorative engraving tied to the collaboration.

A Cohesive Wearing Experience

The Brooklyn 36 Mahjong Limited Edition is paired with a green textile strap, chosen not only for its color but also for its tactile quality, designed to evoke the texture of a Mahjong table. This adds another sensory layer to the overall concept.

Each watch is delivered with a hand-carved Mahjong tile crafted by an artisan in Hong Kong, along with an illustrated poster that explores the history and symbolism behind the tiles—extending the experience beyond the watch itself.

Availability and Price

The Maen x Horoverse Brooklyn 36 Mahjong Limited Edition will be released as a 24-hour time-limited edition on March 22, 2026, via Maen’s official website. Pricing is set at € 899, positioning it as an accessible yet distinctive offering within the brand’s portfolio.
