Anoma Watches had launched the A1 watch last June and it has now unveiled the A1 Slate that is defined by a black lacquered dial. The dial is designed with a vertically brushed coating with shiny triangular patterns. This results in an intriguing effect that allow the watch face to alter from a smooth glossy black hue to a gual tonal look.
The founder of Anoma and GPHG academy member speaks about the design and its concept, noting, “Our goal was to create a design that is pure and understated, with a timeless elegance. In a world of endless color variations, we found power in returning to black – a color that embodies both bold presence and ultimate discretion.”
