ARINIS

PRE-ORDER POSSIBLE NOW

ARINIS
Arinis stays true to the codes of the young brand and takes the form of a stylish diver's watch. This watch boasts the same dimensions, chevé-box sapphire crystal, lugs shape, and emblematic side edge line as the original series. The watch is adorned with a ceramic ring bezel and superluminova numerals, and is water-resistant to 20 bar (200m).
The watch is named after the ancient name of the village of Saint-Blaise, which dates back to the first millennium. This name was chosen for many reasons: the village's location on the shores of Switzerland's Lake Neuchâtel and the region's rich history, which includes the Celts and the Palafittes civilizations. These ancient people built dwellings on the lake's poles to allow for fluctuating water levels. The watch's design is inspired by the region's history, with elements that recall the Celtic wheel found in the lake, the stock of ceramics found at Chemin du Diable in Saint-Blaise, and the lake itself. These elements are reflected in the watch's shape, material used such as the bezel in ceramic.

ELKA X SERIES.

Inspired by a flight instrument

ELKA X SERIES
The ELKA X Series is inspired by a flight instrument created by Heuer for the defunct Elka Watch. The watch case is the same as for the ELKA D Series, whose shape is taken from that of a pocket watch. 2 models, but 2 different characters. The Elka X Serie is the sporty version, equipped with cut-edge rough leather straps or Nato straps.  5 dials, a black one with numbers and hands equipped with Superluminova that looks like burnt tritium, another version with a dark blue dial and white Superluminova and a beige version that remains the color of a pocket watch made by the former brand - and 2 other models in khaki green and another in a colour gradient from beige to black.

ELKA D SERIES

The New Classic

ELKA D SERIES
The D Series is rooted in watchmaking history, when pocket watches were common.The watch case is the same as the one used for the ELKA X Series, whose shape is taken from the shape of a pocket watch. The aim of this design is to have an organic object in hand, something like a pebble, something we want to touch, to feel.

LIMITED EDITIONS

25 PIECES ONLY

LIMITED EDITIONS
Elka Watch has collaborated with Ace Jewelers and Heroes Media to design and produce watches in limited editions of 25 pieces. The idea behind collaboration is to fuse the DNA of the two entities, while maintaining the brand's guiding principle, which could be translated into models with minimalist designs that can stand the test of time without ageing, a watch that can be worn today, in 20 years time, as it could have been worn 50 years ago!

From El Kadiri to Elka Watch Co.

Founder of Elka Watch Co.

Hakim El Kadiri

Elka is a brand that echoes my vision. ELKA Watch Co. was launched in 2022. How and why? I dreamt of developing my own brand but above all I wanted a brand with a story, truth & credibility. I chose to call it by my nickname, ELKA. Since I love the 60s, the products and the aesthetics of that era I have decided to make it my design line for this and future collections. When I wanted to protect the name, I realised that a brand called Elka Watch had already existed but had disappeared around the 60s & 70s precisely during the timeframe that I have chosen to base my designs on. This defunct Elka Watch was named after Eduard Louis Kiek from Amsterdam. I looked through its archives and realised that the brand had strong designs and had worked closely with other big names in the watch industry such as Ulysse Nardin, Heuer, Rolex, Minerva, to name only a few!

Why Elka

ELKA watches are inspired by the times when a product was kept for life. You invested in durability, quality and uniqueness. The mindset is to step back to that period in the 1960s. To those pure and colourful aesthetics we still remember; back to the magical dreams of the space race, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and Woodstock; a return to the struggles, the changes, the rebellious spirit that so marked that decade. What if we had never really left that decade? What if we went back to it, body and soul, to become once again those enthusiastic and revolutionary people who made society move so much? The same values demonstrated at that time are still strong today. Boldness and elegance are timeless, whether they date from 1960s or the 2020s.
