Pinion Firestarter — release discovery

Published 4 November 2026 · Release discovery

The Firestarter is the first watch in Pinion’s new Foundation collection, with a dial cut from natural red agate (a banded stone), so no two dials match. Pinion lists it at 38 mm wide, 45 mm lug-to-lug (the tip-to-tip span across the lugs) and 10.9 mm thick including the crystal, which is Moderate risk on a 6.5 in wrist. It costs £690 including UK VAT (Value Added Tax, a tax added to most products and services), and dispatch is scheduled for the end of November.

At 10.9 mm thick, it is under the 13 mm point where we raise the risk a level.
