nchored directly to the movement, the dial of Akhor’s inaugural collection “Le Temps en Équilibre” appears to hover in space — its hands revolving around a central axis in a display of spatial clarity rarely seen in mechanical watchmaking. Meeting this ambition required the development of a bespoke, invisible system — one that delivers both visual purity and unwavering stability, even under impact.

From the outset, the architecture had to accommodate the equilibrium demands of precious materials such as gemstones, enamel and platinum. The hands, specially engineered for this construction, ensure perfect centring as they orbit the axis. This singular display is made possible by a patented dual-disc structure, developed entirely by Akhor and Clamax. Two and a half years of focused dialogue and technical exploration led to the realisation of this first chapter.

Offered in three emblematic executions — steel, gold and a diamond-set edition — this debut collection revisits the timeless elegance of the 1960s through a contemporary lens. The suspended dial architecture is presented in two textures — sunburst or honeycomb — and a palette of nuanced tones, including white, black, blue, green and brown.

Entirely developed in-house, the AK10 calibre is a hand-wound mechanical movement tailored to meet the specific demands of this architecture. Designed to support future high complications, it drives a balance wheel with an inertia of 8 g·mm² and operates at a frequency of 4 Hz. Its performance is underlined by a power reserve of over 60 hours.

The movement’s components, all Swiss-made, are produced using advanced precision machining. Each element then undergoes a series of galvanic treatments before being finished by hand — from mirror polishing to refined brushing and sunray Côtes de Genève. A debut built on patience, precision and collective expertise.
