The Wõitleja from Estonia1918 is more than just an extraordinary wristwatch: it is a literal time machine, connecting two moments a hundred years apart, and celebrating a tiny nation’s resilience through an exceptionally challenging and turbulent period in history. The brainchild of an enthusiastic young designer, fabricated by an aerospace engineer and finished by an artisan jeweler, the Wõitleja
is the Estonian spirit distilled into a physical form. It is a permanent token of the resolve and ingenuity which a century ago helped a tiny nation beat back two invading empires, and today still helps it punch above its weight in freedom and innovation.Limited to a run of no more than a hundred items, the Wõitleja (Estonian for Freedom Fighter) has been selected as part of the official celebrations of the Republic of Estonia’s centennial anniversary. www.ev100.ee
