ELKA Watch Co. was launched in 2022. How and why? I dreamed of developing my own brand but above all I wanted a brand with a story, truth and credibility. I chose to call her by my nickname, ELKA. As I love the 60s, the products and the aesthetics of that era, I decided to make it my design line for this collection and those to come. When I wanted to protect the name, I realized that a brand called Elka Watch had already existed but had disappeared in the 60s and 70s, precisely during the period on which I chose to base my designs. This late Elka watch was named after Eduard Louis Kiek of Amsterdam. I consulted its archives and realized 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, etc. mention just a few. So, without reviving the brand, I wanted to pay homage to this old Dutch brand with my first 2 series. Hakim El Kadiri Founder of ELKA Watch Co sàrl
