At a glance
Agenhor is a supplier-side name
Agenhor says it designs custom movements for watch brands from its Geneva workshop. That places it behind partner products rather than primarily on a retail dial.
A collaboration credit should be traced to the exact project and calibre. 1
1996 is its stated start
Agenhor states that its Geneva workshop has operated since 1996. The International Museum of Horology's Gaïa Prize material identifies Jean-Marc and Catherine Wiederrecht as founders.
Use the workshop history as context, not proof of a particular watch's components. 12
Projects span mechanisms and production
The company says its work runs from calibre development and prototyping to quality control and production. Its own examples name partner projects including Hermès, Fabergé and H. Moser.
Exact production responsibility depends on the named project. 1
Complication authorship needs precision
A complication can involve a brand, an external developer and other suppliers. Record the watch reference, calibre and documented technical credit.
Do not infer an Agenhor contribution merely from a similar display. 1
Independent does not mean retail
Agenhor describes itself as an independent workshop, but its stated business is custom work for brands. This distinguishes the company from consumer-facing watch marques.
Research its output through partner documentation as well as Agenhor's sources. 1
Keep the attribution bounded
The sources support Agenhor's role as a Geneva complication and movement developer. They do not authenticate a movement or establish whether a particular watch remains original.
