24-hour watch
While it's uncommon to come across a 24-hour watch in everyday life, it's precisely this rarity that sets it apart. For the adventurous souls who dare to be different, our watches offer a unique and distinctive touch, celebrating individuality. Embrace the unconventional perspective of time and life with our exceptional timepieces.
Unique watch
Remarkable wristwatches and captivating design. Just like the vintage watches cherished by our grandparents, our First Season model captures the essence of the classic 1960s era. With its distinctive 24-hour movement and dial, this watch effortlessly stands out from the crowd.
Embracing the blend of past and present, the watch is safeguarded by a domed K1 crystal, adding a touch of uniqueness and timelessness. We are confident that the First Season watch will continue to captivate for years to come, remaining attractive even 15 years from now. Experience the everlasting charm of our First Season watch and immerse yourself in a journey through time.
The "wow" factor
Our goal was to create a dial layout that embodies simplicity while featuring all 24 hours. Although the initial samples looked impressive on paper, we felt that they lacked that "WOW" factor. Months of tireless effort, numerous sketches, and countless prototypes led us to discover the precise DNA of Akerfalk Watches.
Drawing inspiration from classic Swedish design and iconic brands like Fjällräven, Svenskt Tenn, and Volvo Automobiles, we strive to infuse the overwhelming majesty of Sweden's natural beauty into every creation we craft. Experience the essence of Akerfalk Watches and indulge in the extraordinary beauty that resonates with the soul.
The Team
Mikael Söderberg
CEO / Buying
I’m delighted to share a glimpse into my journey and the path that led me to co-found Akerfalk Watches. My name is Mikael, and I am one of the founders of Akerfalk.
Before starting Akerfalk, I spent more than 15 years in the dynamic fashion industry, working extensively with product development and buying. My career took me across Europe and the Far East, where I gained deep insights into craftsmanship, materials, and the importance of detail. These experiences shaped my passion for quality, design, and products built to stand the test of time.
2013 I took the step into entrepreneurship, driven by a desire to create something truly meaningful. It was during this period that I discovered my true passion: watches. The precision, artistry, and timeless nature of watchmaking immediately resonated with me and sparked the vision that would later become Akerfalk.
Akerfalk Watches is more than a brand. It is the result of a shared belief in craftsmanship, authenticity, and thoughtful design—deeply inspired by Swedish heritage and the natural beauty that surrounds us. Every timepiece we create reflects our commitment to quality, innovation, and enduring aesthetics.
We invite you to join us on this journey, where timeless elegance meets modern sophistication. Through Akerfalk, we hope to inspire you to appreciate the details, the stories, and the dedication behind every watch—crafted to be worn, lived with, and passed on.

For the past decade, I have had the privilege of running my own marketing and design agency. Throughout my career, I have been deeply involved in the creative process, shaping the vision and identity of various brands.
My passion for watches has always burned brightly within me. The intricate craftsmanship, the artful blend of form and function, and the ability of a timepiece to convey a story have always fascinated me. When the opportunity arose to join Akerfalk watches, I knew it was the perfect platform to channel my love for design and my extensive knowledge of the watch industry.
At Akerfalk, I play a vital role in the design process of every timepiece we create. It is a deeply fulfilling and rewarding experience to pour my creativity into each design, carefully considering every detail and striving for perfection. I draw inspiration from the rich heritage of Swedish design, the allure of nature, and the desires of our discerning customers.
My goal is to craft timepieces that not only keep time but also evoke emotions and inspire the wearer. I believe that a watch should be more than just a functional accessory; it should be a reflection of one's personality, style, and aspirations. With each Akerfalk timepiece, I aim to capture the essence of timeless beauty and infuse it with a touch of contemporary elegance.
