What to know
The Flamingo turns Anton Suhanov’s regulating organ into the main visual event. Three luminous inserts on its 15.7mm balance create the impression of a glowing ring as it oscillates. Beneath it, the off-centre time display shares the dial with small seconds, a 24-hour indication and an unusually shaped power-reserve scale.
The hand-wound Su26.1L calibre uses twin barrels for 84 hours of autonomy. Its reserve indication becomes more emphatic during the final twelve hours, giving the wearer a clearer reminder to wind. The steel case measures 42mm across and 11.5mm thick. Announced in April 2026, the model is limited to 38 pieces.
