LOCH LAT
Loclat lake's
unique Whisky
Matured in 56-liter casks made from former cognac barrels
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).

It's ABOUT Time
Vuc Radic: "Hey friends, welcome back to It’s About Time. Every time I see an Elka watch, I get a bit weak in the knees. Look at that dial. Tell me there’s a better colored dial at that price point out there (keep in mind the price includes a bottle of whiskey). "
