The story
AV86 was founded by childhood friends Thomas Andersen and Sebastian Skov, who were inspired to create watches that mark life’s meaningful moments during a vacation in Mexico. Initially operating under the name About Vintage, the brand evolved into AV86 to honor both their origins and their shared birth year, 1986.
