ELAQSA: a Moroccan watch identity with a Swiss movement

The 2013 features identify Fouad Zrhari as ELAQSA’s creator/founder. Total Design Reviews documents the ELAQSA Unique N°1/1, with a tonneau case and mother-of-pearl dial.

The Unique N°1/1 review identifies an ETA 2892 automatic movement, rather than an ELAQSA-manufactured calibre. MasterHorologer displays a 2025 update date on its 2013 feature; that timestamp alone does not demonstrate later trading activity. 12

The work and why it matters

Two 2013 trade features identify ELAQSA and named watches, linking it to Fouad Zrhari. Brand existence is confirmed; its legal form and present operations are not established. ELAQSA is documented by 30 August 2013; descriptions of a recently established brand do not establish its legal incorporation date.

The September 2013 launch feature places the brand in Casablanca and claims production in Switzerland’s Valais. The launch feature describes Zrhari as president, director and CEO in 2013; this does not establish a current legal shareholding. 12
