Makina Andras I: Redefining Modern Rectangular Watches

Makina & Co is proud to present Andras I, a bold and modern sports watch redefining the rectangular watch category. Inspired by origami, the watch features a multifaceted design, coated in stealth black, and crafted with premium materials for a striking and elegant appeal.

The octagonal shape of Andras I is purposefully designed to taper around a larger circular movement, keeping the case size down to wearable dimensions. The watch boasts a 3-dimensional dial with a sandblasted finish, a muscular silicone rubber strap, and a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal glass coated with 3x anti-reflective coating.

Priced at USD 725, Andras I is powered by a SW 260 movement, offering high legibility under all lighting environments with its crisp white markers and blue hands. The watch is a result of a year-long design process, with a prototype marketed for pre-orders in May 2023 and the production model released in September 2023.

Andras I's design has gained international recognition from renowned publications like Designboom, Time and Tide Watches, Watchpro, Oracle Time, and The Manila Times. Makina & Co's Creative Director, Danilo Villanueva, led the team in overcoming challenges such as incorporating origami-inspired architecture into the design while ensuring wearability and functionality.
