HISTORY

After a shipwreck in 1987, the Eska brand, founded in Switzerland in 1918, resurfaced thanks to the strokes of two enthusiasts. They launched the Amphibian 250 on Kickstarter.

Eska was founded by Sylvan Kocher in Switzerland under the name S. Kocher & Co , phonetically abbreviated to “Eska”. From the outset, the brand stood out for its classic watches, particularly in emerging markets such as Brazil and the United States.

Relocation and development

Due to its success, Eska needed a larger space. In 1937, Silvan Kocher moved the company from Selzach to Grenchen, a Swiss town renowned for its watchmaking expertise. This relocation allowed Eska to expand its production, strengthening its presence on international markets.

The Amphibian 600 became Eska's flagship model. Designed as a durable diver's watch, it was used by the French Navy and popularized by the likes of Roy Rogers. It was often compared to Blancpain's Fifty Fathoms for its bold design and diving reliability.

Due to the watchmaking crisis and the rise of quartz watches, Eska ceased operations after almost 70 years, marking the temporary end of an iconic brand for collectors.
