Watchmaking Achievements: Complications,
Chronographs & Custom Creations

Every watchmaking creation by Agenhor embodies a singular vision of time—one that is mechanical, poetic, and deeply human. Through our collaborations with the most discerning brands, we imagine and craft unique timepieces where technical complexity fades, making room for emotional expression.

OUR MOST STRIKING CREATIONS

Hermès – Le Temps suspendu

This all started with a poetic idea: to create a watch capable of visually stopping time, inviting contemplation. Hermès sought a complication that went beyond a technical function to offer the wearer an emotional experience.

Agenhor designed an ingenious system: at the press of a pusher, the hands return to 12 o’clock and the date disappears. The display is suspended, but the movement continues to run in the background. When the mechanism is released, the hands resume to their actual course as if nothing had happened.

This masterful illusion is based on a complex module entirely integrated into the caliber, developed to combine ease of use, mechanical robustness, and visual poetry.

Ming – 20.01 (AgenGraphe®)

For its first chronograph, the Ming brand wanted to offer a radically new way of reading time measurement. The goal was to highlight the measured time with an intuitive display, a minimalist aesthetic, and absolute precision.

Agenhor responded with the AgenGraphe® caliber, an innovative movement where the chronograph hands (seconds, minutes) are at the center of the dial. This choice required a completely redesigned mechanical architecture. The result is a watch with a balanced, immediately legible design, featuring a patented watchmaking movement recognized for its ingenuity. This achievement emerged from a close partnership between our teams and the brand’s designers.

HIJRI Perpetual Calendar

This project began with a strong desire to create the first mechanical perpetual Hijri calendar wristwatch, respecting both the scientific rigor and the cultural richness of the lunar calendar.

Agenhor developed a custom mechanism capable of following a 30-year cycle, including the management of leap years, with a precise indication of the days, months, and years of the Hijri calendar. The entire display uses Arabic numerals, with the names of the months in calligraphy, offering elegant legibility that honors the intended heritage.

At the intersection of high precision and symbolism, this piece demonstrates our ability to reconcile mechanical complexity with cultural storytelling, serving watch brands in search of meaning.

The Watchmaking Team at the Heart of Every Watch’s Creation

Every creation designed at Agenhor is the result of collective effort, driven by watchmakers, engineers, and decorators united by a single goal: to transform an idea into a living movement.

In our Geneva workshop, traditional techniques mingle with technical innovation. Our team members master the know-how of Swiss watchmaking while adapting it to the unique demands of each project. Their involvement at every stage—design, prototyping, decoration, and assembly—guarantees our clients a consistent, reliable result that is faithful to their vision.

An Independent Vision of Watchmaking: Between Art and Innovation

Our independence is our strength. It allows us to create freely, without aesthetic or technical constraints, to imagine watch mechanisms that are as understated as they are ingenious. At Agenhor, we believe in a watchmaking craft that touches both the heart and the mind. Our approach is based on a simple conviction: “Innovation has no value unless it serves an emotion.

Our vision can be summed up in a few principles:

5

Design useful, legible, never gratuitous complications.

5

Make simplicity a form of mechanical intelligence.

5

Create movements as one would compose a work of art.

5

Work hand-in-hand with brands to express their identity.

5

Refuse automatism; prioritize listening and intuition.

Every achievement reflects this approach: free, audacious, and true to the very essence of independent watchmaking.
