Innovation and Watchmaking Excellence
Based in the canton of Jura, at the heart of Swiss watchmaking, this company has combined tradition and innovation to stand out in a highly competitive sector.
The 80s:
FIRST PATENT
FIRST MURANO GLASS WATCH DIAL
In the 80s, the Achor Group made watchmaking history by filing the world’s first patent for a watch dial made entirely of artistic Murano glass. This innovation gave birth to the “MURANO” brand, which enjoyed resounding success during the 80s and 90s. MURANO watches were distinguished by their ETA skeleton movement, housed in a 10-micron gold or gold-plated case, offering a unique combination of artistic beauty and mechanical precision.

The Evolution to YUNIK Art Watch
In 2016, the Achor Group took a new direction by abandoning the MURANO brand to focus on a new innovation. They filed a patent for a one-piece watch case-dial, made entirely of Murano art glass. This technological breakthrough led to the launch of the YUNIK Art Watch brand, which continues to celebrate Swiss craftsmanship and innovation with unique and artistic watches.
Conclusion
The Achor Group’s journey is a testament to their commitment to innovation and excellence. From the creation of the first Murano glass dial to the introduction of the monobloc case-dial, this company continues to push the boundaries of traditional watchmaking to offer exceptional pieces to its customers.
