A1 Core Collection

Anoma creates wearable sculptures, inspired by the rich world beyond watchmaking. The rounded triangular shape of the A1 draws inspiration from a 1950s free-form table by Charlotte Perriand. We were also influenced by the organic softness of river stones and the dynamism of Constantin Brancusi's modernist sculptures. The A1 Abyss and A1 Stone mark the launch of our Core Collection — the purest, most distilled expression of the A1. Both play on contrasting textures and restrained, nature-inspired design. The A1 Abyss aims to capture the depth of the ocean, whilst the A1 Stone draws from the texture and tonality of river stones. The dial of the A1 Abyss is built from three layers of lacquer — one greenish-blue, two deep midnight blue — finished with a mirror-polished centre, sunburst outer, and silver printing. The A1 Stone features an abrasively blasted centre that echoes the surface of river stones, paired with a sharp sunburst outer and silver printing for a clean, monochromatic look. Across both pieces, the sculptural case bends light and reflections, subtly reshaping the world around it. To preserve the purity of the forms, we concealed any distractions by hiding the lugs, crown, and other superfluous details.
