Black and White by Elka Watch

Inspired by the timeless black and white aesthetic of photography, these two limited-edition timepieces are a study in contrast and purity. The "Shadow" edition is a total black watch with a matching dial and bracelet, a bold tribute to dramatic, high-contrast classic photography. Its counterpart, the "Light" edition, is a pristine white watch, celebrating the clarity and soft gradients of a perfectly exposed image. Both watches are a modern homage to the iconic monochrome style of the 60s and 70s, designed as wearable art for those who appreciate the enduring power of a single-color palette.
