Watch Ho & Co. has partnered with independent watchmaker Selten on a new limited-edition timepiece called the Yum Cha, according to multiple reports published on August 11, 2026. The collaboration was first covered by Monochrome Watches, with additional hands-on and introductory features from Hodinkee, Worn & Wound, Time+Tide Watches, and Deployant.
The Yum Cha edition is distinguished by its engraved Grand Feu enamel dial, a technique that combines hand engraving with the demanding high-temperature enamel firing process. Reports indicate the watch is a limited release, though the exact production numbers have not been confirmed in the available coverage.
The name "Yum Cha" references the Cantonese tradition of drinking tea and eating dim sum, a cultural touchpoint that aligns with Watch Ho & Co.'s community-focused identity. Time+Tide Watches framed the release under the headline "Watch Ho & Co(mmunity) x Selten Yum Cha," highlighting the collaborative and social nature of the project.
Hodinkee provided a hands-on assessment of the watch, while Deployant published an exclusive insider review. Both outlets focused on the execution of the enamel dial and the overall design of the piece. Worn & Wound described the watch as a new limited edition with an engraved Grand Feu enamel dial, echoing the technical details shared by the other publications.
The collaboration brings together Watch Ho & Co., known for its collector community and curated releases, with Selten, a brand recognized for its technical approach to watchmaking. The Yum Cha appears to be a deliberate fusion of decorative artistry and mechanical craftsmanship.
Watch for further details on the Yum Cha's pricing, availability, and full specifications as additional coverage emerges from the collaborating brands.
