Group Khalis and Elaqsa: the shop, the maker and the legal business

Group Khalis Horlogerie resolves to GROUP KHALIS, an Illzach horological retail/service business with a registered French SAS identity. The municipal profile identifies Fouad Zrhari with the founding business, and registry-derived data names him its president.

The 2021 profile describes repair, sales, consignment and watch sourcing at Group Khalis. Le Périscope associates Zrhari’s watch creations with Elaqsa and Arabic calligraphic design, separately from the Group Khalis business name.

The public-notice mirror records a liquidation-opening judgment dated 24 August 2022. It records closure for insufficiency of assets on 1 March 2023 and RCS deregistration on 6 March 2023.

The deregistered SAS should be recorded as historical; that does not prove Zrhari ceased all personal watchmaking or establish a successor. Retail/service activity and personally designed Elaqsa watches do not establish a vertically integrated Group Khalis manufacture. 123

The work and why it matters

GROUP KHALIS was created on 21 September 2018, SIREN 842 475 576, at 52 rue de Sausheim, 68110 Illzach. The 2021 Le Périscope profile describes watch-creation projects as paused; future expansion described there is not evidence of a completed factory. 13
