The Anomalies

A few words from some of the collectors in our community. People who choose to stray from the crowd and break the mould of conventional taste. We call them the anomalies.

“The Anoma A1 has good proportions, well executed details on the case, and a great two-tone lacquered dial. A great and comfortable watch to wear daily, on the left or right wrist.”

"The balance of modest elegance and flamboyance is what makes the A1 an object of curiosity that urges you to hold it in your hand."

Collector

"It was love at first sight. An absolutely stunningly designed watch that is so avant-guarde with roots in modernism and with an incredible dial that plays to the light. On the wrist it embodies a piece of art awaiting attraction and admiration."

"The things I collect should give me a little thrill in my stomach. That’s my standard requirement before purchasing anything non-functional."

Auctioneer & Collector

Alexandre Ghotbi

"It is surprising to think that the A1 is actually the very first watch by Anoma, considering how mature and well-thought-out the design is.

Taking inspiration from the insouciance of mid-20th century design, with a dash of science fiction and a pinch of flamboyance, the A1 is a conversation starter. Not so much that it is in your face, but thanks to its subtle yet strong design elements.

The A1 is a breakthrough and unconventional piece made by someone who not only knows watches but also has a deep knowledge and love for them."
