About This Product

Inspired by square-plate cockpit instruments, the Etika Square replicates the rugged mounting of 1930s flight desks. Its chassis is locked by four structural safety bolts, mimicking the anti-vibration fixings used by airmail pioneers. The dual vertical sub-dials and “Clous de Paris” texture offer the high-contrast legibility of a drift meter. A robust, architectured timepiece designed as a precision tool for the modern explorer.

Etika VH-16

The Navigator’s Plate

Its design is a tribute to the thigh-mounted navigation watches used by reconnaissance pilots, which were fixed onto square plates and strapped over flight suits. David Van Heim envisioned a “chassis” case: a robust square base secured by four structural bolts, mimicking the rivets used to fasten flight harnesses.

The watch’s strength lies in its dual nature: a technical dial with twin sub-dials echoing drift meters, protected by a brushed metal armor. The top-stitched leather strap anchors the piece to its heritage—the men who mapped the world from above.
