The story
24-hour watch
While it's uncommon to come across a 24-hour watch in everyday life, it's precisely this rarity that sets it apart. For the adventurous souls who dare to be different, our watches offer a unique and distinctive touch, celebrating individuality. Embrace the unconventional perspective of time and life with our exceptional timepieces.
Unique watch
Remarkable wristwatches and captivating design. Just like the vintage watches cherished by our grandparents, our First Season model captures the essence of the classic 1960s era. With its distinctive 24-hour movement and dial, this watch effortlessly stands out from the crowd.
Embracing the blend of past and present, the watch is safeguarded by a domed K1 crystal, adding a touch of uniqueness and timelessness. We are confident that the First Season watch will continue to captivate for years to come, remaining attractive even 15 years from now. Experience the everlasting charm of our First Season watch and immerse yourself in a journey through time.
The "wow" factor
Our goal was to create a dial layout that embodies simplicity while featuring all 24 hours. Although the initial samples looked impressive on paper, we felt that they lacked that "WOW" factor. Months of tireless effort, numerous sketches, and countless prototypes led us to discover the precise DNA of Akerfalk Watches.
Drawing inspiration from classic Swedish design and iconic brands like Fjällräven, Svenskt Tenn, and Volvo Automobiles, we strive to infuse the overwhelming majesty of Sweden's natural beauty into every creation we craft. Experience the essence of Akerfalk Watches and indulge in the extraordinary beauty that resonates with the soul.
