Elka Watch Co. Unveils Monochrome Masterpieces: A Collaboration with Christian Coigny
Elka Watch Co., the Swiss brand renowned for its soulful, 1960s-inspired designs, has joined forces with photographer Christian Coigny, a master of black-and-white imagery, to create a stunning collection of monochrome watches. The result is a celebration of pure aesthetics, where light and shadow dance in perfect harmony.
The 'Noir et Blanc' exhibition, hosted at Espace Diorama in Geneva from November 4 to December 10, 2025, showcases Coigny's analogue artistry and Elka's mechanical craftsmanship. This unique collaboration brings together the art of photography and watchmaking, creating a captivating experience.
The S Series Monochrome Editions are two special editions of Elka's classic, ultra-sleek time-only watch. The Black Edition is a dramatic display of shadows, with every surface absorbing light in deep, dramatic tones. The White Edition, on the other hand, is a minimalist masterpiece, capturing the serenity of pure light. Both watches feature 40.8mm or 36mm cases, domed sapphire crystals, and the La Joux-Perret G101 automatic movement with a 68-hour power reserve.
Limited to 100 pieces per model, these monochrome editions are available for exclusive pre-sale at Espace Diorama during the exhibition. Deliveries are set for mid-December, and the price is CHF 1,855 (Swiss taxes included) per model. For more details, visit elkawatch.ch, christiancoigny.ch, and espacediorama.com.
