Last weekend, TimeFest took up residence at the Matmut Atlantique, transforming this iconic Bordeaux stadium into a veritable arena of watchmaking expression.
A relaxed atmosphere, shared passion, and discoveries at every stand: the event confirms its position as a major meeting place for independent brands and demanding enthusiasts.
In this original and lively setting, Akrone launched its first series of 2025 new products, marking the start of a highly anticipated anniversary year.
Akrone's 10th anniversary kicks off
We took advantage of the show to present a preview of our new C-02 and C-03 collections, now available online.
Many of you came to discover them, try them, and compare them.
The on-site discussions highlighted the quality of the work accomplished, the controlled evolution of the design, and above all the fidelity to our DNA: creating reliable, useful, well-designed watches at the fairest price.
Expertise forged in the field
These new features are the direct result of ten years of projects carried out alongside field professionals:
Customs divers, mine clearance divers, PSIG, ALAT, Transavia, marine commandos, Hyères Naval Air Base…
Over 100 groups, units, and special projects have trusted us to design custom watches, built for action.
This know-how, proven in the field, can now be found in our civilian collections:
watches designed to last, without compromise, ready to meet all the challenges of everyday life.
What not to miss at TimeFest
We have revealed:
– the C-02 in its Tactik, Héritage and Nérée versions
– the C-03 Horizon, in 39 and 41 mm
– the C-03 GMT, equipped with the True GMT Miyota 9075 movement
New movements, optimized materials, revised design: each model has been carefully redesigned for practical use and enhanced durability.
These models can be discovered now on our website, which has been completely redesigned for our 10th anniversary:

This is just the beginning…
What we presented in Bordeaux was only a first glimpse.
The sequel will arrive in the second half of 2025 with the C-04 collection and a special 10-year collection.
Until then: other surprises, new series, limited editions, and projects built with our community.
Thanks to the TimeFest team… and see you soon
Many thanks to Édouard, Jérémy, Aurélien, and Mavrick for this perfectly executed edition, from kickoff to the final whistle. A well-organized event, without a hitch or offside!
Our next meeting: June 1st in Hyères, to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Naval Air Base. https://www.hyeres2025.fr
And for those who missed Bordeaux: the 2025 Akrone season is well underway.
