Akhor Expands Its Vision with the Lumière Blanche Editions

Offering a radiant new take on the Le Temps en Équilibre line, the collection underscores the brand’s emerging identity in independent watchmaking.

Akhor

The independent brand Akhor, located in Geneva, unveiled its first Le Temps en Équilibre line in 2025, featuring a revolutionary dual-disc display technology, which garnered immediate acclaim for its novel dial design and proprietary movement. The new Lumière Blanche editions broaden the notion with a novel artistic direction, positioning white as the primary design feature.

The latest Akhor Lumière Blanche Editions are contained within the sophisticated 39mm cushion-shaped casing emblematic of the brand. Constructed from 4N or 5N gold, the case has a thickness of 11mm and showcases alternate polished and satin finishes to highlight its contours. A sapphire crystal on both the front and back showcases the stratified dial design and the mechanism. The Lumière Blanche timepieces maintain the collection's characteristic dual-disc dial architecture, featuring an upper plate elevated above the lower disc. This innovative design establishes a gap between the two components, facilitating hand movement beneath the upper plate. In these white renditions, the principle is further elucidated, endowing the dial with the structural semblance of a machine rather than merely a decorative facade.

Two versions are available. The initial model showcases a white sunburst dial, adorned with numerals at cardinal places, along with rhodium- or gold-plated stick indices and hands. The second features a more technological appearance with a white honeycomb dial. This variant includes a diamond-encrusted bezel and clasp, providing a more jewelry-focused interpretation. The timepiece is driven by the manual-winding calibre AK10, created solely for Akhor and produced by Clamax. The COSC-certified movement, with a diameter of 31.3mm and a thickness of 3.9mm, functions at 28,800 vibrations per hour and provides a 60-hour power reserve from a single barrel. The movement consists of 117 components, incorporating a variable inertia balance and a stop-seconds mechanism. The finishing process encompasses hand-applied anglage, fan-shaped Côtes de Genève, and embellished wheels. The unique screw heads replicate the cushion profile of the casing.

Both Lumière Blanche models include a hand-stitched white alligator strap, fastened with a folding clasp that corresponds with the case material. The prices are CHF 57,800 and CHF 67,800 (with diamonds), inclusive of taxes. For additional information, please visit akhor.ch.
