The Autark Tourbillon model was undoubtedly one of our most ambitious projects yet. Could we combine two of the most desirable technologies in mechanical watchmaking in one package and still achieve the HORAGE-typical industry-busting price point?  Well, you already know the answer to this! And wit

What, you might be thinking do cake and watches have in common? The cake was delicious by the way.... An English proverb states: “You can’t have your cake and eat it”, which refers to accepting that if you are faced with two contradicting choices, you can only have one. Life is full of compromises,

The Milestones of 2024 As 2024 comes to a close, many of us take some time to reflect on what took place in the past year. For all of us at Horage, 2024 was a significant year with many twists and turns, long days, landmark innovations and most importantly, delivering amazing timepieces to you, our

Our Tourbillon 2 is a direct follow-up to the original Tourbillon 1, although the Lensman series tourbillons came before with the Autark tourbillon now available for preorder as well. The Tourbillon 2 separates itself with simplicity and refinement, featuring a stainless steel or 18k gold case and s

Our first of three 15th anniversary posts talked about how HORAGE became a brand, how and why we developed our in-house automatic K1 caliber, and some of the challenges associated with those endeavors. Now that we’ve matured into a vertically integrated watchmaker, it was time for a moonshot with ou

Late last year, we introduced our latest flagship for 2024, the Autark Tourbillon. This combines our K2 micro-rotor and K-TOU tourbillon into a single and very rare caliber, the K-TMR micro-rotor tourbillon. Beyond the renders, specs and excitement, there’s incredible work being done behind the scen

The Autark Tourbillon is a living project and it has already proved to be such with continued communication around new dials and future strap positions. The very first images leaked of this project were of the Gradient Grey dial with Power Reserve. The image of this dial started circulating and we a

Tackling the impossible is what our team of engineers does best. We've raised the bar yet again for ourselves and the Swiss watch industry with our pursuit to build the most price-accessible, most efficient and most precise Swiss Made micro-rotor tourbillon movement the world of watchmaking has seen

The forum section here on the website has been very quiet, there is a good reason for that. This might just be one of the most comprehensive forum posts to date, with some incredibly exciting news. With the release of the upcoming items, you can expect a lot of updates and details of projects coming

Five years ago, the HORAGE team was faced with a huge decision: The ambitious tourbillon project was in danger of failing after attempts to co-develop a tourbillon movement with an external partner fell through. Horage decided to take the much more difficult, but also more exciting path - and so t

Doesn’t time fly by! It’s hard to believe that five years have already passed since HORAGE launched the Tourbillion 1 timepiece back in February 2020. The very intense whirlwind which led up-to this critical point in our journey as a watchmaking company feels like it was just yesterday….. Above: T

As we approach the end of an era, we proudly reflect on the journey of our iconic K1 calibre watches. The K1 movement has been a cornerstone of Horage, marking our evolution from a bold new venture into a respected name in Swiss watchmaking. Today, we invite you to join us in celebrating the legacy

As we look at the present and future of HORAGE, it’s important to understand the people behind the watches. In the previous two 15/15/15 articles, some of our most significant developments, in-house movements and even the birth of the company were covered, but this final 15th anniversary post will f

It can be argued that only two types of watchmakers are true watchmakers. First there’s the old, historic brands that have been in continuous operation for up to a century or more with horological milestones and in-house movements. Between this are the countless microbrands and others who design cas

It may be hard to imagine today, but small seconds - or a seconds hand within an offset sub-dial - has historically dominated (pocket) watch and clock design. It wasn’t until the 20th century that central seconds were popularized by wristwatches. I’ll spare you from the tedium of optimized gear trai

Horage has offered historically “unobtainable” Swiss timepieces for attainable prices, including tourbillons and micro-rotors. Our Autark Hv has been among our most popular models with the K1 automatic, while the K-TOU tourbillon and K2 micro-rotor have elevated our game. So, the next step was to bl
