    WatchDNA’s chat with Hakim El Kadiri | Elka Watch Co at HKTDC Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair 2025

    At the HKTDC Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair 2025, I had the privilege of speaking directly with Hakim El Kadiri, the founder of the reborn Elka Watch Co. Elka’s story goes back to 1877 in Amsterdam, where the original company was known for pocket watches, tactile watches for the blind, and precision timepieces. After fading out in the 1970s, Elka was revived in Switzerland in 2022 by Hakim El Kadiri, bringing heritage and innovation together. In our conversation, Hakim shared the philosophy behind the new Elka: It’s a brand that feels authentic, fresh, and deeply connected to its roots, and one I believe collectors should keep an eye on. 🔗 Read more: WatchDNA.com/Elka 📲 Subscribe for more: /@WatchDNA 🔗 Discover more: ⌚️ WatchDNA.com 📲 Follow WATCHDNA: ● 📷 Instagram: @WatchDNA ● 🐦 Twitter: @WatchDNA ● 👍 Facebook: WatchDNA ● 🎬 TikTok: @WatchDNA #ElkaWatches #HakimElKadiri #SwissWatchmaking #IndependentWatchBrands #HongKongWatchFair #WatchCollectors #SwissWatches
