ounded in 2015, Klokers made its name with an unprecedented idea: another way of reading time. Two Kickstarter campaigns raised more than one million euros from 2,600 backers, the first community of a brand unlike any other. From 2015 to 2025, every Klokers was quartz, with flat discs turning counter-clockwise and a patented strap-change system.

That system, highly ambitious, proved difficult to make reliable. Two bankruptcies followed, in 2020 and then in 2023, the year the brand was taken over out of liquidation.

KLOK03 is not an evolution of those models: it is a watch built differently. Quartz gives way to an automatic movement, the discs are now stacked in tiers and turn clockwise, and the patented strap system is replaced by Presto. What remains: time read through discs, the magnifier at 6 o’clock, the bold shapes.

For this new chapter, Klokers called on Fabrice Gonet, watch designer and co-founder of Edge Design studio. The tiered architecture gives the display greater depth.

“Klokers has a very strong DNA in the way it displays time. The idea was to showcase that DNA in a more contemporary case.” — Fabrice Gonet, watch designer

As on the earliest Klokers, time is read vertically, through the magnifier at 6 o’clock. The lower disc shows the hours, the middle one the minutes and the central disc the seconds. In the example shown, KLOK03 reads 10 hours, 10 minutes and just over 50 seconds. Technical in appearance, it keeps a simple reading: three discs, three pieces of information, one line of reading.

KLOK03 comes in six versions: Yellow Dot, Blue Note, Yuri, Desert Strom, Orange Dot, Kaki K. White and Blue revisit two colourways that were very successful in earlier Klokers collections. The other four complete this new generation with new colour combinations.
