PARTNERSHIP
A great adventure can never be built on its own
We also cooperate with pioneering companies on new projects. Everyone brings their know-how and their specialty to build innovations, watchmaking or not.
The expertise and tools developed for watchmaking are applicable to other disciplines. Conversely, the technology developed in other industrial sectors can allow watchmaking to exploit new territories.
A pioneer brand, AK loves to explore new materials. Thus, our first watch, the WARP, was a clever mix of high-tech materials, from the aerospace industry, never adapted to watchmaking at the time. Materials were even created for the occasion. A world first in the AK laboratories, red titanium was born, an isotropic, unbreakable carbon that is as light as a feather.
Each of our watches is an innovation. Whether in terms of its mechanism, its materials or its manufacturing process, there is always a world first.
Invite talented designers: AK & Gryaznov Design
The Gryaznov design studio is based in Finland. At its head, Vikenty Gryaznov, a talented designer, has notably designed watches for Konstantin Chaykin (Lunokhod watch in 2011) or more recently for young brands such as Gelfman or Isotope. Vikenty is also a member of GPHG Academy since 2022.
We have collaborated for the dial of the LAB-ONE. We couldn't imagine this watch without an original dial. The fresh design had to both emphasizes the hybrid movement and respects the spirit of the watch.
An innovative dial that allows to see what is happening on the cogs side and that matches the shuttle shape. The result is unique: a sort of spiral or tourbillon that takes you into the mechanical dimension of the watch.
Do you want to develop a project with us?
Do you have an idea of cooperation for us? What if we created our watch of the future together? Perhaps the processes that we have implemented in our products are applicable in your field?
Our company is passionate about innovation, and we would love to take on the next challenges of the 21st century with you, so don't be shy and write to us.
