Craft Uniqueness with Our Configurator

From an idea to the HK-Principle

Are you tired of compromising when choosing a timepiece? Alain, during his part-time job, saw countless customers struggling to decide between different watch models. Some loved a specific dial but preferred the case of another. This led to two major issues.

First, watches in the same price range often lacked the quality and design customers desired. Second,  customization options were limited, leaving customers’ needs unmet. Out of this frustration, the idea of the interchangeable Hermann Kobler Watch was born.

Our watches allow you to create something truly unique, a reflection of your individuality. With a simple touch, a HK timepiece can be as extravagant or subtle, as colorful or discreet as you desire. There are no limits, only endless possibilities, all captured in our motto: #DesignYourTime.

LUCERNE BLUE NO. 8 AND ITS MEANING

In the tapestry of Hermann Kobler’s life, the number eight held a sacred place, a cherished symbol of luck and favour. A twist of fate reveals that when you tilt this very digit by 90 degrees, it magically morphs into the timeless emblem of infinity, the ““.

Infinity perfectly matches the core philosophy of HK Watches. Then our timepieces embody this essence of limitless potential, due to our  interchangeable mechanism. This innovation empowers you to assemble, disassemble, and reassemble your HK watch into boundless combinations.

The No. 8 stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of Hermann, a tribute to his unwavering love for the number eight. Each watch extends an open invitation to explore an infinite tapestry of style and design.

With HK Watches, your timepiece transcends the ordinary, becoming a conduit for limitless self-expression—a timeless fusion of masterful craftsmanship and boundless creativity.

A DESIGN SO TIMELESS IT'S FOR ETERNITY AND BEYOND

Hermann Kobler, the epitome of an old-school gentleman, cherished his golden Omega pocket watch. Its simple yet distinguished design was the embodiment of timeless elegance—an essence we’ve embraced in every HK Watch.

Our timepiece is elegance redefined: a harmonious blend of classic sophistication and modern distinction. It’s sleek, thin, and perfectly round, a tribute to the Swiss tradition of precision craftsmanship. The uncluttered case design ensures that the spotlight shines on the interchangeable dial, graced with Lucerne blue hands and the symbolic number eight.

At HK, we challenge the norm. Our stainless-steel case offers a range of finishes, from silver to rose gold and titanium coatings, allowing you to personalize your watch. And to complete the elegant yet refreshing look, choose from a palette of colourful leather straps, NATO straps, or exquisitely crafted Milanese metal bands.

With the HK Watch, we invite you to unleash your creativity and imagination. Craft your unique timepiece—it’s not just a watch; it’s an expression of your style, a touch of fun, and the embodiment of uniqueness.

It’s not just a timepiece, it’s an emotion, it’s an HK.

ATTENTION TO DETAIL - SAILING BOAT AND COORDINATES

In the twilight of Hermann’s life, solace found him on the waves of his beloved vessel, Onde—French for “wave.” Sailing wasn’t a pastime for Hermann; it embodied existence—a symbol of exploration, camaraderie, and living with flair.

In tribute, each HK Watch case back features a figurative sailing boat, bearing the coordinates of Yacht Club Luzern (47°3’0.14”N; 8°18’32.15”E)—Hermann’s cherished haven. With every glance at your HK timepiece, you embark on a voyage, reliving daring adventures, carrying Hermann’s spirit.

Sail with us; let your watch symbolise boundless exploration—a timeless link between elegance and the spirit of the sea.
