Introducing Two New Anoma A1 Optical

Anoma is a young London-based independent watchmaker that merges contemporary craftsmanship with influences from architecture and the visual arts. In just over a year, the brand has cultivated a distinct aesthetic through its A1 series, timepieces that challenge convention with their triangular-shaped case. The latest addition to the collection is the Anoma A1 Optical, the third release following the Blue and Black editions. This new model pushes Anoma’s signature sculptural case into fresh artistic territory, introducing an engraved dial inspired by the Optical Art movement.

The case retains the unique triangular silhouette that has become the hallmark of the A1 series. Crafted from 316L stainless steel, it measures 39mm by 38mm and is just 9.45mm thick. Despite these compact dimensions, it wears elegantly thanks to the absence of lugs and the ergonomic curvature of the case. The watch is rated for 50 meters of water resistance, making it suitable for everyday wear.

The dial is available in Silver or Copper tones, and features fifty slightly offset triangles, each individually engraved using a dragged engraving technique. The surface is then sandblasted and hand-polished, creating a reflective pattern that shifts with every movement of the wrist. There are no indices or logos, allowing the composition to remain undisturbed.

Powering the watch is the Swiss-made Sellita SW100, an automatic movement that beats at 28,800 vph (4 Hz), offering a 38-hour power reserve. This is the same movement used in previous A1 models. The watch is paired with an 18mm grey grained Italian leather strap.

The first 300 pieces will be individually numbered and evenly split between the Silver and Copper dials. Each will be accompanied by a pen-plotted artwork created by optical artist Adam Fuhrer, based on the dial’s pattern and bearing the same number as the watch. Non-numbered editions will be available at a later date.

Pre-orders for the Anoma A1 Optical open on August 7, 2025, at 14:00 BST (5:00 PM Dubai time), with deliveries beginning in October. The price is set at £2,200, approximately AED 10,790.
