Revolutionary Timekeepers: Kortela Valta's Latest Masterpiece, The 'Toka'

Pioneering independent watchmakers, Roope Kortela and Rene Valta, after enduring many challenges, have finally unveiled their latest masterpiece, ‘Toka’. This launch followed their prior release, the ‘Eka’, generating much anticipation for this second timepiece. ‘Toka’ is a beautifully crafted watch, featuring a meticulously refined Grand Feu enamel dial in sleek black, and is powered by a vintage Omega Calibre 266 geartrain. The movement has been heavily enhanced with impressive in-house craftsmanship. Kortela Valta first gained recognition through Instagram, earning them the title of ‘The Livestreaming Watchmakers’. They employ platforms such as Twitch and Instagram to showcase their intricate work. The duo graduated from the Finnish School of Watchmaking, same institute that fostered horology maestros like Kari Voutilainen and Stepan Sarpaneva. Undeterred by challenges, Kortela and Valta harness their artistry and passion to handcraft the finest Finnish timepieces. The ‘Toka’ model utilizes the geartrain of the Calibre 266, identical to their debut model, ‘Eka’. However, this new launch is a testament to their expertise and skills honed over time, offering an elevated intricate design and precision.
