"Loch Lat"
A Union of Watchmaking and Spirits: The New Adventure of Elka Watch
The story began in 2021 when the founder of Elka Watch, developed an interest with the world of whisky. 

Guided by an experienced oenologist, he embarked on the creation of a single malt from Neuchâtel, named 'Loch Lat.' Aged for three years in vintage cognac barrels, this whisky, inspired by a local lake, pays tribute to the Saint-Blaise region, particularly honoring a Celtic wheel artifact discovered nearby.

To mark this exciting new chapter, Elka Watch is unveiling a limited edition series of timepieces, each paired with a numbered bottle of Loch Lat. This exclusive collection seamlessly merges the sophistication of Swiss watchmaking with the distinctive character of an artisanal whisky.

(Given the complexities of alcohol export, this exclusive offering is available only in Switzerland).

ÉDITIONS LIMITÉES

25 PIÈCES SEULEMENT

ÉDITIONS LIMITÉES
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!

SÉRIE ELKA X
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
La série D est ancrée dans l'histoire de l'horlogerie, à l'époque où les montres de poche étaient courantes. Le boîtier de la montre est le même que celui utilisé pour la série ELKA X, dont la forme est inspirée de celle d'une montre de poche. Le but de ce design est d'avoir en main un objet organique, quelque chose comme un caillou, quelque chose que l'on a envie de toucher, de ressentir.

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.
