Anton Suhanov is an independent watch brand and manufacture based in Saint Petersburg, Russia. The brand was established by Russian watchmaker Anton Suhanov, who earned a master’s degree from the Polytechnic University in Saint Petersburg. Before founding his own brand in 2018, Suhanov worked for over a decade at the Konstantin Chaykin manufacture, where he served as chief designer and head of production. Suhanov gained initial international recognition in 2016 after winning the F.P. Journe Young Talents Competition.
Watch collectors and horology enthusiasts appreciate Anton Suhanov timepieces for their technical innovation, unconventional movement architecture, and creative methods of displaying time. Suhanov’s engineering background enables him to develop original mechanical complications paired with detailed hand-finishing and low-volume production.
The brand first established its reputation through complex table clocks, such as the Pharos and Lotus models, which both feature multi-axis tourbillons. In 2021, Suhanov introduced his first wristwatch, the Racer Jumping Hour GMT, featuring automotive-inspired retrograde subdials and jumping digital displays. The brand’s key wristwatch creations also include the Racer Retro, the Chronotope with its peripheral automatic winding mechanism, and the Flamingo, which showcases Suhanov’s proprietary flaming balance wheel concept.
