The Watch
Klokers was created in March 2013 by Nicolas Boutherin. From 2014 to 2018 the brand continued to grow with availability in over 300 stores and 20 countries. After restructuring during 2018-2019, Nicolas Boutherin left the company. At this time financial investors under the name of Kinaöök took over the business and it began a fresh lease of life as a French brand manufactured in Geneva, Switzerland. In 2020 Patrice Joubert the main investor approached Nicolas Boutherin to re-join the new team which he agreed. 2018 Klokers Klok 08 was a 2018 Kickstarter project. The inspiration comes from the rule-breaking Sixties with its freedom of expression, counter culture and was a decade that shook convention. Through a patented click-in, click-out fixing system called the klokers’ key you can simply clip on and off the watch head-on straps and accessories.
The 39mm round 316L stainless steel case with a signed crown on the right side and at the eight o’clock position a push-button which releases the klokers’ key. A fine polished bezel holds a domed triple injected crystal with a magnifying lens above a white dial. Two concentric disks rotate counterclockwise, the upper printed Arabic numerals marking the hours. The lower disk has the minutes. A center rotating disk indicates the seconds with a vertical line which enables you to read the time along its axis at the top. A very unconventional way to tell the time but cleverly executed. On the reverse, a patented 316L stainless steel click-in, click-out fixing system called the klokers’ key. Inside a Rhonda Swiss Quartz movement. The watch comes fitted on an 18mm leather strap with the klokers’ key so you can attach the strap to the watch. Comes with its Klokers presentation box and papers.
Personal Note
We have had Klokers in the past for sale and all have gone down well, people really appreciate what Klokers have done and are doing, they are pushing boundaries and testing ideas, that is what we need more of in an industry that is hooked on re-editions and repeats of the past. Whilst I do love a good heritage watch, I also love seeing a brand like Klokers come through with someone crazy and fun!
