We break, then reconstructthe rules of watchmaking
The Académie Horlogère des Créateurs Indépendants (AHCI) is an association with the mission to perpetuate the art of independent watch and clock-making. While big luxury groups have industrialised watchmaking, we break, then reconstruct the rules of watchmaking every time we create a new timepiece.
Our art is unmistakably singular and exclusive.
The most creativewatchmakers
In 2021, AHCI counts 34 watch and clock makers, 2 candidates and 18 former members from 16 countries, each one with a different interpretation of the art of watchmaking.
Our partners
The programme is open to corporate partners that share our passion for innovation, uniqueness and our obsession for customer delight.
