Wood Watch BERN Wristwatch is a meticulously handcrafted timepiece that exemplifies the harmonious fusion of traditional watchmaking and natural materials, distinguished by its use of premium red sandalwood and real gold accents. This innovative wristwatch, which earned the prestigious Golden A' Design Award in the Jewelry Design category, represents a significant advancement in sustainable luxury accessories. The timepiece features a sophisticated Swiss movement mechanism and protective sapphire crystal glass, ensuring both precision and durability. With dimensions of 36mm in width and height, and 8mm in depth, the watch maintains an elegant profile while showcasing the natural beauty of hand-selected wood grains. Each piece is uniquely crafted through a combination of traditional handcrafting techniques and precision CNC routing, resulting in a distinctive character that cannot be replicated. The design, which emerged from extensive research and development between 2009 and 2016, incorporates a butterfly closure mechanism and displays both time and date functions. The watch's creation involved overcoming significant technical challenges in combining natural wood with high-precision watchmaking components while ensuring durability and wearability. As a patented design that originated from the Atlantic coasts of France and was perfected in northern Germany, this timepiece represents a remarkable achievement in sustainable luxury accessories, demonstrating how natural materials can be transformed into sophisticated chronometric instruments without compromising on functionality or aesthetic appeal.
