The Anoma A1 First Series - Unconventional In Every Way!

Anoma Watches recently released their first creation - the A1 First Series and I have to say, its an absolute blast!

I have to say that this is perhaps one of my better acquisitions in recent years - the shape, the shade and the wearability... all fits!

The Anoma A1 First Series was launched at the end of 2024 and I just received mine, second week into January 2025.

The triangular ellipse shpaed case is so unique only few timepieces are done like this. Art Deco feel, a definitely a very unusual one at that. I have many timepieces but nothing that loos like this - one of a kind. Inspired by a table top, the case shape is instantaneously recognisable.

The two tone blue dial is also as striking as the case shape.

A bright blue brushed dial with a dark blue triangular ring brings out the vintage look of the timepiece.

The timepiece is also well designed when it comes to the thickness...

Measuring a thin 9.45mm, it wears thinner due to its inward curved bottom.

Due to the way the straps are installed and the lack of the traditional lugs, the watch also wear very comfortably for my small wirst.

The hands are also well made, highly polished and sized just right for the case and dial.

Having worn the timepiece for more than a week, the only downside of the piece is the recessed crown. It's quite difficult to pull out and when fully depressed, its rather difficult to wind.

I'd say this is one of my more funky and artsy timepiece and I'm loving it. A conversation starter I would say and one of those IYKYK timepiece. I can't wait for the second iteration.
