The Albishorn Voisin Aérosport is exactly my kind of odd dress watch

I really like the Albishorn Voisin Aérosport. The offset seconds, the shapes of the numerals and the thin little case make it feel unusual without becoming difficult to look at. The blue details are doing a lot for me too. I'd give this 108 out of 120 bezel clicks, which puts it firmly among the watches I'd want to investigate further even though the price is well outside casual-purchase territory.

Albishorn presents the watch as an imagined design connected to Gabriel Voisin and the Art Deco era. It isn't claiming to have found and reproduced a watch he wore. I appreciate the distinction, because I can enjoy the design without needing a fictional historical object to make it interesting. November 10 release coverage introduced the model; the exact original brand announcement date remains less certain.

A slightly strange layout that works

The small seconds sits at four, interrupting the circular sector layout. Usually I'd be suspicious of moving a display off-center just to make a watch look different. Here, the surrounding scales and elongated numerals make the offset feel considered. There is still plenty of open dial, and the hands stay easy to find in the published images.

Classic and Ice Blue are the two executions. Both use the same case and mechanical platform, so this page keeps them together. I like the contrast of the darker blue details, and the small seconds gives my eye somewhere to go after reading the time. I would want to compare the two in changing light rather than decide from the names alone.

The proportions are a big part of why I like it. The steel case is 38 mm across, 45.2 mm lug to lug and 9.6 mm thick including the sapphire. Albishorn also quotes 8.9 mm without the crystal, but the full height is the useful number for wearing it. Twenty-millimeter lugs should make ordinary strap choices fairly straightforward.

A manual chronometer

The ALB04 M is a hand-wound calibre based on a Manufacture AMT ébauche, with a stated 60-hour reserve and COSC certification. It runs at 4 Hz and has hacking seconds. I like the choice of manual winding in a watch this thin, although I haven't tried the crown or assessed the winding feel.

Sapphire is fitted front and back, and water resistance is 50 meters. Albishorn lists 99 pieces per execution, planned over three years. That doesn't mean all 198 are available immediately. The advertised delivery start is late November 2026; current allocation remains unverified.

The checked Classic listing quotes CHF 3,450 with two calf straps. Release coverage gives CHF 3,900 for the bracelet package, with the relevant taxes and shipping qualifications. I don't have a verified USD price. Before ordering, I'd want the exact package quote, the current delivery commitment and a closer look at how that offset seconds scale reads on the wrist.
