Anoma A1 Optical
About $2,900
Anoma, a fresh face in the British watch scene, has launched the A1 Optical, building on their debut model's striking triangle-inspired design. The 39×38 mm casing is a pleasure to wear thanks to its compact form, and it boasts a captivating optical dial made from 50 tiny triangles that play with light, sure to enthrall any dialhead. Under the hood, a reliable Swiss automatic movement and 50 meters of water resistance ensure it's up for everyday wear.
The real star here is that stunning dial, echoing Op Art with a mesmerizing effect that begs for attention. Limited to just 300 pieces in both copper and silver finishes, each watch comes uniquely signed by designer Adam Fuhrer. While it comes in at around $2,900, if unique and stylish indie watches are your jam, this one's worth checking out.
Pre-orders kick off on August 7th, so don’t miss out on this limited-edition piece that combines art with function beautifully.

I originally started VELOCE to put my skills to work, hone my app design and web development practices, and dive deeper into the world of horology. I wanted to learn more about the watches, the brands, and the incredible people behind them - the creators, the designers, and the collectors. I love discovering new timepieces and sharing their stories with the world. VELOCE is my ultimate passion project and hobby, the creative space I head to after my full-time job to build something I truly care about.
