Talking to Sébastien Buonomo and Bruno Herbet from Orkos.

This idea came to Sébastien when his watch was stolen in Paris. After the second time in Barcelona, he immediately started to look for a solution to this security problem with an engineer, followed by making sketches, development and patents.

Almost every watch has its personal value and has to be protected, that’s where the name Orkos came from - which means oath in Greek.

The system is very similar to a three-point lock, where you have pistons locking or unlocking the clasp with a key which also serves as the push-piece.

Once installed it is very easy to use, and can even be used as a traditional clasp.
