Founded in 1986 by Lucas Alexander Karl Scheybal, LAKS is an authentic, family-run Austrian company dedicated to staying at the forefront of innovation.

In 2006, LAKS introduced Watch2Pay, the world’s first NFC (Near Field Communication) watch, certified for contactless payments with Mastercard®. This groundbreaking watch is now exhibited in the British Museum as “The First Museum’s Payment Watch.”
To this day, Lucas is the designer and innovator of the LAKS brand. He ensures that each LAKS Wearable is developed and designed with passion and perfection.
LILLI and LAURA bring the wearable vision into bold, new design areas, redefining what wearables can be.
The FOUNDER and ARTIST


Lucas Alexander Karl Scheybal
Lucas comes from a business family. After studying economics in Vienna, he began painting and composing music at a young age. His interests later expanded to new technologies and industrial design, leading him to invent several groundbreaking wearable technologies, including the first USB watch, the first MP3 watch, and the Watch2Pay – the world’s first NFC watch certified for contactless payments with Mastercard®.
Lucas’s art was deeply shaped by his time in Paris and New York. A pivotal moment in his artistic journey came when his grandmother gave him a piano tuning key, which he used to tune his first piano—a gesture that ignited his lifelong passion for music. His creative expression spans across painting and video composition, blending emotional worlds through various media.
Today, Lucas shares his design and creative knowledge with his children, who are guiding LAKS into a new era.
