Serie D “The 36” Essence – Blue & Beads-of-Rice Bracelet Pure minimalism, now in 36mm. Born from a close dialogue with our community of collectors, this limited edition of just 50 pieces worldwide reinterprets our radical "Essence" concept in a more intimate and classical format. With this timepiece, time breaks free from strict geometry. The deep sunray blue dial completely abandons indices and numerals to let nothing but the essentials speak: color, light, and the fluid motion of the nickel-colored baton hands. Free from fixed reference points, the eye glides across the surface without obstacle, catching every single reflection and nuance of blue with your every movement. Faithful to our mantra “Form Follows Feeling,” the signature pebble-shaped case—the organic design foundation of Elka Watch Co.—adopts a 36mm diameter with divinely softened proportions. It is beautifully complemented by a stainless steel beads-of-rice bracelet, which seamlessly matches the fluid curves of the case, adding a classic, sophisticated, and vintage touch while ensuring exceptional comfort on the wrist. Beneath its highly tactile box-shaped chevé sapphire crystal beats a premium Swiss mechanical heart: the automatic La Joux Perret G101 calibre, boasting a remarkable 68-hour power reserve, fully visible through the transparent sapphire case back. A rare and exclusive piece of design, available online or at our flagship boutique-showroom in Neuchâtel.
