AndoAndoAndo

AndoAndoAndo's official history page says Yu Ando began rough design work for the A-1 Automatic in 2019 and launched the company in 2020. The brand presents itself as genderless, ageless and fun, with products intended to fill gaps around watch size and inclusivity. The official A-1 pages describe a Finnish-Japanese design company with a watch designed in Finland and a soul of Japan, using a Seiko Instruments NH36A automatic movement and a compact ergonomic case. A Watchisthis interview identifies Yu Ando as founder and designer, originally from Japan, and says he sends designs to a trusted Chinese manufacturer for production checks and manufacturing.
