Backes & Strauss Announces Partnership withElina Avanesyan and Upcoming "Elina for Backes& Strauss" Collection
We are proud to announce the beginning of a new partnership with professional tennis player Elina Avanesyan, welcoming her to the Backes & Strauss family.
Elina’s journey, Armenian heritage and dedication to excellence make this partnership particularly meaningful to us. As a brand with Armenian roots and a proud Armenian heritage, we see in Elina a shared story of ambition, perseverance, and representing Armenian excellence on the international stage.
Tennis and fine watchmaking share a natural connection. Both demand precision, discipline, patience and an uncompromising pursuit of excellence. The elegance and individuality of tennis also reflect the values that have long defined Backes & Strauss and our approach to creating exceptional timepieces.
As part of this partnership, we are delighted to announce the upcoming “Elina for Backes & Strauss” collection, a unique collaboration inspired by Elina’s journey, her Armenian heritage and the timeless elegance of tennis.
Combining our heritage of exceptional diamond craftsmanship with Elina’s story and contemporary spirit, the collection will celebrate the meeting of sport, artistry, heritage and elegance.
We are thrilled to welcome Elina to the Backes & Strauss family and look forward to sharing this special collection with the world.

One of my favorite tags we use at ABTW is “Watches Dripping with Diamonds.” It’s our catchall for any watch that’s overloaded with gemstones (diamonds or otherwise), and the watches are always wild because there’s no such thing as restraint when you’re putting carats and carats of gems on a watch.
Adorned with sparkling Namibian Fancy Intense Yellow diamonds, the new Backes & Strauss Namib Queen of Hearts watch takes inspiration from the sands of the Namib Desert.
