MEMBERS

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.

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.

PARTNERING

The industrialisation of watchmaking transforms unique art into a mass-market commodity, converting watchmakers into anonymous components of an endless production line.

Help keep watchmaking art alive.
