Singapore Edition Flamingo
Singapore
in the architecture of time
A new interpretation of the Flamingo watch, in which Singapore’s natural environment, architecture and national symbols become part of the movement. A special edition of 18 pieces created by independent watchmaker Anton Suhanov and based on his in-house calibre Su26.2L.
Two cities.
One story
The classic Flamingo has its own geography: its Y-shaped bridge evokes, in stylised form, the course of the Neva River through St Petersburg. In the Singapore Edition, this concept takes on a new dimension. The Y-shaped bridge is replaced by the Merlion — a mythical guardian with the head of a lion and the tail of a fish. Its distinctive silhouette is formed by intricate curves, cut-outs, pronounced angles and carefully hand-finished surfaces.
A mythical guardian
within the movement
The Merlion is far more than a decorative motif. Its three effects are created solely through the interaction of functional movement components.
A welcoming sweep of the tail
As the watch is wound by hand, the Merlion’s tail gently sways from side to side in front of a fixed cover bearing the Anton Suhanov logo — as though greeting the watch’s owner.
A mechanical jet of water
The image of Singapore’s famous Merlion, with a jet of water gushing from its mouth, takes on mechanical form: as the watch is wound, the teeth of a rotating wheel create the illusion of flowing water, framing a fixed cover bearing the Anton Suhanov logo.
A Merlion that blinks
The spokes of a wheel associated with the small-seconds indication pass behind the opening that forms the Merlion’s eye. Every 12 seconds they produce a blink — throughout the watch’s normal operation.
The Flaming Balance
in a new colour
The large balance wheel, measuring 15.7 mm in diameter, is mounted on the dial side of the watch. In the Singapore Edition, it has been anodised a rich shade of green. As the balance wheel oscillates, its luminescent inserts create the illusion of a continuous luminous ring in the dark, while the polished chamfers reflect light in a pattern that changes with every new viewing angle.
Nature and architecture,
expressed in metal
Futuristic gardens
The barrel ratchet wheels evoke the canopies of the Supertrees in Gardens by the Bay. Green covers and chatons set with ruby jewels echo their evening illumination.
Natural geometry
The outlines of the click in the winding mechanism and its spring have been reworked: deeper curves recall the supple stems and climbing vines of tropical gardens and convey a sense of growth even at rest.
Five stars. Moving forward
Five white stars beneath the power reserve scale increase in size towards the sector of maximum power reserve, linking the symbolism of the flag with the energy accumulating within the movement.
In every facet —
light in motion
The complex geometry of the Merlion demands precise machining and many hours of painstaking hand finishing. Perlage, anglage, sandblasting, hand-polishing of sharp chamfers, polishing and anodising of titanium components — every surface of the movement is finished by hand.
Su26.2L. A fully
in-house calibre
During the final 12 hours of power reserve, marked by the red sector, the power reserve indicator hand moves twice as fast. This makes it easier to see when the watch needs winding.
84-hour power reserve
Two barrels provide a power reserve of half a week.
15.7 mm balance wheel
One of the largest balance wheels in the world for a movement beating at 18,000 vibrations per hour.
Manual winding as a ritual
Manual winding turns interaction with the watch into a special ritual.
Only 18 pieces
One of the barrel ratchet wheels of each piece bears a laser-engraved Singapore Edition inscription and the individual serial number of the watch.
