Agelocer

Founded c. 2015 · China

Agelocer aims higher than most of its neighbours: it makes skeletons, moon phases and the odd tourbillon, with long power reserves and finishing that looks to Swiss dress watches rather than Japanese divers.

History

The house works different ground from the other Chinese microbrands: instead of the tool watch it goes after the visible complication. Its catalogue holds skeletons with the movement on show, moon phases, and at the top end pieces with a tourbillon at prices that would be unthinkable in Switzerland. It uses Chinese-made in-house movements and Swiss calibres in the upper series, and states power reserves of up to eighty hours. It publishes no founder and no archive.

Iconic models

  • Moon Phase series

    A moon phase with a long power reserve; the house's best seller.

  • Manta Tourbillon

    The top piece in the catalogue, with a visible tourbillon.

Worth knowing

It is one of the few houses in its range to take on the tourbillon. Worth knowing that a tourbillon at this price is not a Swiss manufacture's — but it is a real tourbillon, turning.
