The company closed in 2000 and it's assets liquidated in 2001. Incidentally this in an area of Amsterdam where exclusive, high end products were sold. The company was initially established at Kalverstraat 206, North Holland, Amsterdam.

The Elka Watch company was named after Ernst Louis Kiek, the first son of Louis Eduard Kiek. The younger Kiek is known for inventing an unbreakable plastic watch glass in 1925. (ELKA stand for Ernst Louis Kiek Amsterdam)Įlka watch company was founded in 1913 by watchmaker Lazarus "Eliaser" Kiek (1854-1938) together with his son Louis Eduard Kiek (1883-1974). I suspect that the clock itself was made in Italy, there are some Italian markings on the outside.Įlka Train Station "Flap" Clock from the Elka Watch CompanyĮlka Watch Co. I took in the repair on a no-cure, no-pay basis, if I can't fix it, no harm is done. and sometimes (yes, not every day) ticks on to 30 hours instead of going to 0 after 23.įirstly, does anyone have any clue as to why the clock itself would be able to continue to 30? Secondly, what could be the cause of this? The second is a bit weirder, the clock appears to have 30 hours instead of 24. The first being is that the day is stuck, but that is probably something mechanical, as soon as I get my hands on a 7mm inbus key, I will be able to open up the clock :-) I agreed to take a look at it (they are right around the corner from me) and was actually astonished by the size of it! It is not only heavy, the outside is metal(!), but it is also very big. Mostly the smaller ones, a Copal or perhaps a lesser known brand.Ī few weeks ago, a shop which sells optical frames got in touch with me to ask me whether I could have a look at their flip clock. I sometimes get requests to repair flip clocks.
