ABOUT
A Union of Watchmaking and Spirits: The New Adventure of Elka Watch
The story began in 2021 when the founder of Elka Watch, a young entrepreneur, 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).

- Ingredients: Malted barley, water, yeast.
- Process: Distilled in pot stills at a single distillery from a single batch of malted barley.
