We break, then reconstruct
the 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 creative
watchmakers
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.

“Though a short visit for myself, one could sense the excitement and interest in the world of independent horology. I for one am delighted to witness this and I am sure many of the exhibitors also had an excellent fair.”
