LOTH1: original finishing, supplied foundations
Ho told Monochrome that LOTH1 launched at the end of April 2025 and sold out by the start of September 2025. LOTH1 uses a Unitas/ETA 6498 base with custom plates and extensive finishing; this is not a completely proprietary in-house movement.
The interview credits Michael Dubs with screw-polishing instruction and Ondrej Berkus with reworking and ruthenium treatment of mainplates. 2
Lab of Tristan Ho, without the first-in-Singapore shortcut
LOTH is Tristan Ho’s Singapore watch brand; the name expands to Lab of Tristan Ho. The official biography dates its founding to August 2024. The December 2025 interview describes Ho as a self-taught watchmaker who was also working as a biomedical research assistant.
