Gurlevik

Sourcing Notes: Independent Turkish brand founded in 2024 by Yusuf Ozdemir, named after Mount Gurlevik in Erzincan province of Turkey. The catalog is built around narrative-driven dials inspired by the "Eastern Renaissance" — Ottoman atelier ornament, Hagia Sophia's dome geometry, Islamic and Anatolian iconography, and celestial cartography. The flagship Domes collection (39mm, 8.7–9.8mm thin) runs the Miyota 9039; the Maritime collection (Discovery, Sphere, Voyager) and the Gates collection use Miyota automatic calibers. All cases are 316L stainless steel with custom-cut domed sapphire crystals produced exclusively for the brand, paired with Italian calfskin straps. Each piece in the Gates collection is individually numbered. Movement origin is Japan; case/strap sourcing and final assembly are based on the brand's Turkish supply chain (sourcing details inferred from product copy — pending founder confirmation).
