Rediscover the Charm of Vintage with Eska's Sophisticated Heritage Chronograph
Eska, a once overlooked powerhouse in watchmaking, is capturing enthusiasts’ attention with a beautifully crafted resurgence. Born in 1918 by Silvan Kocher, whose initials acted as the brand’s namesake, Eska scaled the heights of popularity before an unfortunate fall during the Quartz Crisis of the 1980s. However, like a phoenix from the ashes, Eska has been reborn with a fresh perspective, under the stewardship of Christophe Chevreton and Sinicha Knezevic.
Their first noteworthy creation, a modernized tribute to the rare Amphibian 600, laid down the foundation for this re-emergence. Now, Eska is venturing into the realm of vintage tributes, courtesy of the new beautifully handcrafted Heritage Chronograph. Assembled meticulously in Besançon, France, this luxury timepiece draws elements from historical Eska models while incorporating modern specifications and finishes.
The vintage charm of the Heritage Chronograph is felt when worn. Despite a slightly thick profile due to its modern movement, the watch balances comfort and style on the wrist seamlessly. It retains its vintage essence through a authentic step dial design, featuring a two-layer construction of enamel-like material, available in either matte black or beige. Whichever version you choose, it comes with a unique precision that blends vintage appeal with a modern twist.
