PARTNERSHIP
NHLPA
NORQAIN x NHLPA
At the beginning of 2020, NORQAIN announced it had entered into a strategic partnership with the National Hockey League Players’ Association (NHLPA).
NORQAIN Board member Mark Streit, 2017 Stanley Cup winner and Swiss hockey legend, and Roman Josi, three-time NHL All-Star player and captain of the Nashville Predators, have been actively involved in the independent brand’s development from day one. Their commitment has been a key factor in NORQAIN’s entry into ice hockey and in the establishment of this important alliance with the NHLPA.

About the NHLPA

Wild one NHLPA Limited edition
NORQAIN presents an exclusive version to honour its partnership with the NHLPA. With its extremely robust construction, it’s a fitting match for a sport known for its dynamism, intensity and high-impact plays. The Wild ONE NHLPA Limited Edition features a marbled black NORTEQ case. Inspired by the action, speed and thrill of the game, the white dial stands out with its “scratched ice” design and striking raised markings. The NHLPA logo is found at 6 o’clock on the dial as well on the sapphire glass caseback. The caseback also indicates the exclusivity of the timepiece with the engraving “ONE OF 300”.
Wild one x dean schneider
The fourth model in the NORQAIN Wild ONE collection has been designed together with our international ambassador, Dean Schneider. As teased in 2021, this black NORTEQ creation, limited to 500 pieces, incorporates a piece of Dean’s wildlife: the vegan sand-coloured rubber shock absorber has been mixed with sand from his Hakuna Mipaka oasis in South Africa, which creates a unique speckled design. The black dial is decorated with a lion fur pattern as well as the sanctuary’s spear-and-shield logo. This dynamic pattern is also found on the black vegan-certified rubber strap. A powerful message about humankind’s relationship with animals is engraved on the caseback: “We need to learn to love them exactly the way they are and not the way we wish them to be!”
Wild ONE represents wildlife without harming wildlife because it is completely free from any animal products – an extension of our promise in July 2021 to discontinue our use of leather goods for all of our new product launches and phase-out leather straps for all existing models.
The Wild ONE Hakuna Mipaka Limited Edition comes in a special Hakuna Mipaka watch box along with a signed card from Dean. Ten per cent of the earnings from sales of this watch will be donated to the Hakuna Mipaka Oasis.
