Wooden watches have been gaining popularity in recent years due to their unique and eco-friendly design. But what exactly is a wooden mechanical watch?
What sets a wooden mechanical watch apart?
A mechanical watch is an engineering masterpiece that works automatically, winding itself through movement, without batteries. So, a wooden mechanical watch... well, all the former but crafted using wood for its case and sometimes even its strap. Unlike traditional watches that are made of metal or plastic, wooden watches offer a natural and unique aesthetic that appeals to those looking for something different.
How do wooden mechanical watches work?
Just like any other mechanical watch, a wooden mechanical watch operates using a complex system of gears and springs to keep time accurately. The main difference lies in the materials used for the case and components, giving the ecological watch a unique look and feel.
Are wooden mechanical watches durable?
Contrary to what some may think mechanical watches are durable, especially given you never need to change the battery! High-quality wooden watches are also often treated with special coatings to protect them from water damage and everyday wear and tear. However, it's important to follow care instructions to ensure the longevity of your wooden watch to prolong its life.
