As the world’s favourite children’s watch turns 30, the invitation toparty goes out to millions of kids and grown-ups, everywhere.

Three decades of helping kids all over the world to tell the time merit major celebration. It’s time to give the gift of time.

A story of heritage and innovation

Flik Flak was born in 1987 in Biel, Switzerland. It was the first watch to have a dedicated concept for learning to tell the time and proudly remains the only Swiss made children’s watch today. The brand has evolved to embrace new generations and trends, always remaining loyal to its heritage. The Flik Flak mission has stayed the same since its birth: providing reliable tools for learning to tell the time in an effective and fun way. Developed in close collaboration with teachers, the proven “edutainment” concept is what makes all Flik Flak watches for kids tick. It follows strict guidelines that cleverly combine intuitive learning with stylish design.
