In search of new solutions, modern designers are increasingly turning to nature as an inexhaustible source of colors, shapes and materials. It is not surprising that wrist watches in a wooden case are gaining untold popularity, combining the simplicity and availability of material and the sophistication of an external image.

In a series of classic wood jewelry (necklaces, amulets, bracelets), watches have occupied a worthy niche: unique in their design, reflecting the stylish and creative nature of the owner and made from environmentally friendly raw materials. Wooden wristwatches became a branded accessory for 2016-2017. and, despite the particular popularity among young people, they emphasize the refined taste of their owner without unnecessary shocking.

History of wooden clocks

The history of mankind is cyclical, and a clock in a wooden case is an "innovation" that has successfully received a second life after a couple of centuries. In Russia, the famous dynasty of watchmakers, the Bronnikovs, became famous for their invention of the "small thing" as an exhibit at an exhibition in the first half of the 19th century.

This creation was a pocket watch in which all the details, except for the hair of the balance and the spring, were made of palm wood; later the mechanism contained inclusions of ivory details. The improved device was presented as a gift to the heir to the throne in 1868 - the future Russian Tsar Alexander III, and history is silent about the fate of the rest of the watchmaking masterpieces of the dynasty.

Lost in private collections or inherited over several generations, wooden clocks have broken out of the labyrinths of time to adorn the modern world.

After a premature attempt (2001) by the Italian brand Locman to revive woody elements in the design of the watch base, the idea almost lost its charm, until by 2008 major watchmakers, including Hermes, Cartier, Parmigiani, began to search for alternative materials for mosaic dial patterns. Surprisingly, the brand was further developed thanks to the auto business - the new Bugatti collection with luxuriously finished interior made of expensive wood species gave life to an accessory of appropriate quality and a marker of prestige.

Many models are universal, but companies offer options that emphasize the femininity of a lady's hand and the completeness of the outfit - with a brighter color scheme, a narrowed bracelet, the corresponding size of the case and jewelry on the dial.

A matter of choice

When choosing wooden clocks, it is impossible to overestimate their obvious advantages. First of all, watches made of natural wood are not only environmentally friendly, but also durable in use. With a perceptible weightlessness on the wrist, this wooden watch is pleasing to the eye thanks to the natural shades of the material. Since the production of the product does not involve high-tech equipment, the price is affordable even for the undemanding buyer.

However, having a wooden wristwatch, one should be selective in choosing clothes, since a classic suit or evening dress will clearly require accessories of a different rank. Although many watches have been tested for water resistance, bathing in them or taking a bath is still not recommended - wood is prone to swelling under prolonged exposure to moisture, which leads to deformation of the case. Similarly, do not expose the product to prolonged exposure to high temperatures - the cracks caused by this will irreversibly spoil the appearance.

Care Tips

Wristwatches made of wood are rather unpretentious in everyday life and can last longer if you periodically wipe them with a piece of cloth soaked in soapy water, then wipe dry and grease with an oil-containing solution.

Beeswax, linseed oil, and even a colorless lip gloss from your purse are great for this! Or you should choose an appliance whose parts are made of bakout or African rosewood. These rocks are inherently oily so that they release a natural impregnation in the finished product for many years, providing a protective coating on the case.

Reviews

Large, at first glance, the watch amazes with its unnatural lightness on the hand and the durability of the mineral glass coating. The watch turned out to be a profitable purchase for the family, as it looks great on both a woman's and a man's wrist. Some noticed that, for the sake of such an extravagant gift, they abandoned the usual superstition, as if it was a bad omen to give a watch to relatives and friends, and were not mistaken in their choice.

Negative reviews are less common, however, one of the disadvantages mentioned is the loud operation of the clock mechanism, which, however, did not prevent the buyer from enjoying the product as a whole. Less often, there is dissatisfaction with a darkened dial, which makes it difficult to see the time in low light. It is clear that cheap knockoffs cast a shadow on quality brands due to fast-breaking bracelets, lack of proper link tightening tools and low grade wood. Therefore, it is highly recommended to shop at trusted online stores with a solid track record to avoid disappointment.

Wooden wrist watches once again confirm that everything ingenious is simple, and it is not at all necessary to shine with luxury in order to impress and emphasize your individuality.
