Anton Suhanov is an independent watchmaker based in Saint Petersburg, Russia. Before founding his own manufacture in 2019, Suhanov had been working with Konstantin Chaykin, the award-winning Russian watchmaker and inventor.
A candidate of AHCI (Académie Horlogère des Créateurs Indépendants), Anton Suhanov makes mechanical clocks and wristwatches in his atelier.
Presently the brand is offering two wristwatch models: Racer and Racer Retro. Inspired by iconic racing cars, these timepieces come with unusual complications. His product range also includes mechanical triple-axis tourbillon table clocks like Black Clock, Lotus, and Pharos.
Anton Suhanov entered the world of mechanical timepieces a long time ago. Since 2007 he has been working as a chief designer in the watch manufactory of Konstantin Chaikin. In 2016, Anton won the Young Talent Competition supported by F. P. Journe. He presented for the competition a Black Clock featuring triple-axis tourbillon, the first clock of this kind made in Russia and one of the few in the world.
Inspired by this success, Anton Suhanov decided to continue his career as an independent watchmaker and create his own brand for the production of his timepieces. In 2018, he finally opened his own company.
In 2019, the master launched the Faros clock, based on the same idea of triple-axis tourbillon, and in 2020, the Lotus clock, combining his triple-axis tourbillon with a spectacular lotus flower animation. At this point, he decided to develop his own wristwatch collection, especially since he had already collected many ideas for various watch complications.
In 2021, Anton Suhanov presented his first wristwatch, the Racer Jumping Hour GMT. This timepiece was a unique development inspired by the design of the dashboard of a car.
During the AHCI Masters of Horology 2023 exhibition in Geneva, Anton Suhanov unveiled the Racer Retro watch, which has an open-worked dial to showcase the in-house developed Jumping Hour GMT movement.
