Inside a watch commission built around friends

The commissioning owner’s February 2026 account identifies an ETA 2824-2 base and a Marc & Darnò P01 24-hour module, distinguishing a supplied movement from the maker’s added mechanism. The review’s author, Claus, describes developing the commission with Guarino and credits Elio with visualization assistance; the review is therefore participant testimony. 3

The complication is original; the base movement is supplied

The AHCI biography describes Turin watchmaking-school training and an independent laboratory focused on astronomical indications and calendars. The official site uses expansive every-component craftsmanship language, but AHCI describes a complete in-house calibre as work in progress. The blanket assertion is not adopted as fact. 21
