Anoma - refreshing design language at accessible price point…

 


Anoma aims to bring quality timepieces with primary focus on sculptural designed case. 

The Steel case has smooth pebble like surface yet has an asymmetry that creates a very pleasing design.


The timepiece is very much inspired by the Parisian table from the 50s designed by Charlotte Perriand...no doubt why the case has a natural familiarity to the eyes.


I love the hidden crown in the case recess shows the meticulous focus to maintain the consistency of design language.



Complementing the case, the dial quality is impeccable - with 3 layer lacquer, the shades of Blues is stunning.  

The twin-tone dial brings a level of symmetry and asymmetric consistent to the overall timepiece. 

While the color scheme and dial is gorgeous, personally I think Cardinal index are a tad bolder and could have been further refined IMHO.



Of course, the primary focus of the timepiece is on the design, so a good quality and proven Sellita SW100 movement powers the timepiece - helping to achieve the price point.

On the wrist, the timepiece fits like 37mm - thanks to the absence of lugs.




Technical details :

Case : 316L stainless steel, 39 x 38mm. 9.5mm thin

WR : 50 meters / 164 feet / 5 ATM.

Personally I like the idea of a very refined design being the central focus of the timepiece and overall these elements are kept very consistent through and through...


Best,
Mahesh.,
