Wooden wrist watch

Gone are the days when watches were used solely to check the time. Now the watch is also an ornament that can emphasize your individual style. Now watches are made of metal, plastic, rubber and even wood. Wooden watches are no longer a novelty, but they still continue to attract attention and intrigue.

Only the watch case is made of wood, while the strap is usually made of leather or rubber. About which manufacturers create such unusual accessories and how they stand out from other accessories, you will learn from this article.

Wood has been used for a long time to create all kinds of accessories, but it has only recently begun to be used in the process of creating wristwatches. Now such accessories are in trend, like everything natural. Therefore, it's time to pay attention to unusual jewelry.

These watches have a number of advantages that make them so popular.

• Firstly, wood is an environmentally friendly and hypoallergenic material. Therefore, such a watch can be safely worn by any person, unlike the same metal ones.

• At the same time, they are also quite durable. Of course, metal, and even shockproof watches will last you longer and be more stable.But at the same time, wood is also a very high-quality option for creating a watch case.

• Such an ornament with an unusual case will serve you for a long time. After all, the tree is resistant to both ultraviolet radiation and the oxidation process. Therefore, the watch will remain of high quality for a long time and will not fade.

Yes, and the appearance of models with a wooden case will delight you. Both men's and women's watches made of natural wood look good. At the same time, all shades look advantageous: from natural brown to light or even black. And such pleasure is not so expensive. Such a watch will definitely cost you less than a branded accessory or gold jewelry.

As you can see, a watch with a wooden case really has a lot of advantages. But they balance all the equally significant disadvantages. Firstly, such watches can be quite difficult to care for. When buying a watch, remember that wood is a hygroscopic material that absorbs all moisture very easily. So, if you constantly forget the clock on the shelf in the bathroom, then over time the wooden case will swell and even slightly change shape.

But the watch case can be protected from these natural problems. For this, a special coating is used that does not release or let moisture in.If you plan to wear your watch for many years, the coating will need to be repaired over time.

Another disadvantage of a wooden case is that it is easily subject to all sorts of physical damage. So you need to be extremely careful so that there are no scratches, dents or other defects on the dial.

Now that you know about all the advantages and disadvantages of such watches, you can decide for yourself if you need them. If the answer is yes, then it is best to pay attention to products from popular brands. After all, a good manufacturer will not risk its reputation by producing low-quality goods.

Despite the fact that the brand appeared relatively recently - only in 2013, its creators have already managed to show us several collections at once. All of them are popular and loved by customers.

This brand uses quality materials to create its accessories. They choose precious woods, trying to make accessories more stylish and unusual. But in addition to the attractive appearance, "Eben", "Rosewood" or "Amaranth" also have increased strength. So, you can safely wear them in any conditions.

Another well-known brand where you can find quality natural wood accessories is TwinsWood. They offer customers both women's and men's models. In the case of each watch hides a dial created according to an individual design.However, if you don’t like anything from the proposed range, you can make an accessory for an individual order. Such a watch, and even complemented by a unique engraving, will be an excellent gift for both a guy and a girl.

Handmade jewelry is complemented by straps made of high-quality genuine leather. Since it uses individual drawings and the same approach to each creation, the resulting decoration fits the style and mood of a particular person.

The WeWood brand also managed to "make friends" with clockwork. They basically use only natural materials when creating their accessories. Their watches are made entirely of wood. That is, they have a wooden case not only but also a bracelet. At first glance, it seems inconvenient, but over time you will get used to it and appreciate the attractiveness of your new jewelry.

Good reviews are also received by products from Bobo Bird and BeWell. Choose high-quality accessories so that they do not crack or lose their shape in a short time.

Wooden accessories have their own peculiarities of use. First of all, after buying an accessory, you need to fully customize it for yourself. With a leather strap, everything is quite simple. But if the bracelet consists of wooden links, then everything will be more complicated.

Therefore, it will be enough for you to take your watch to the workshop, and for the amount of about 300 rubles, all unnecessary links will be removed for you. This way you can customize the decoration completely for yourself.

In order for the accessory to retain its attractive appearance for as long as possible, it must be worn carefully.Ideally, a wooden watch is bought for the summer, when the weather is as sunny and clear as possible and there is no risk of getting the dial wet. You also need to constantly take off your watch when you are doing household chores or taking a shower. Remember that if the tree gets very wet, it will expand and lose elasticity. As a result, the watch may break even if you bought it recently.

As you know, a tree changes its appearance over time. This can be seen on all kinds of crafts or furniture. Watches with a wooden case or bracelet are also subject to the same influence of time.

Some types of wood naturally change color. So, for example, a maple wood dial will eventually change its color to a darker and deeper one. The change will be insignificant, but it will still only benefit the clock.

There are a number of points that help to extend the life of the jewelry at least for a short time. In addition to careful attitude, it is also worth taking care of him as carefully as possible. If the wooden part of the clock is dirty, then do not rush to immediately wash it with water. Take a small piece of cloth and soak it in soapy water, wring it out well. The fabric should be practically dry so as not to saturate the tree with moisture. With this piece of cloth, gently rub the wood until it is completely clean.

And in order for the wood to be more durable, it can be coated with a special protective liquid. Alternatively, you can choose gentle home remedies. It can be quality beeswax or linseed oil.And creative girls manage to save wood with a simple colorless lip gloss.
