The type of metal used for the clasp of your WoodWatch is 304 stainless steel.

Yes! Each Watch can be engraved with a personal message of up to 60 characters on the backplate and wooden Box of the watch and be done during your order.

Yes, they are. The wood we use originates from all over the world and is selected in several criteria. Our top priority is to be sustainable and to deliver high-grade products to our customers.

The different kinds of wood used are indicated on the product pages of the different watches. More information about the different types of wood that we use is available on our Wood Types page.

Our watches are not fully waterproof but are designed to be splash-resistant. While they can withstand light exposure to rain, we advise against wearing your WoodWatch in the shower or while swimming. Please note that the warranty does not cover damages caused by water or any other liquids.

Absolutely! Your watch size can be easily adjusted by removing links from the strap. This can be done by a jeweller, a watchmaker, or yourself. Along with your delivery, we include several screwdrivers for your convenience, enabling you to easily adjust the strap yourself.

Rest assured, your watch is designed to provide you with a perfect fit, tailored to your comfort.

As all of our watches are made of natural wood, each watch has its unique pattern and will therefore differ slightly from the pictures. This makes each piece truly unique.

For our timepieces, excluding the SOLAR and AUTOMATIC collections, we utilize a recyclable and replaceable SONY SR621W battery. You have the convenience of easily replacing the battery at home. This mercury- and lead-free battery is designed to be leak-resistant, ensuring optimal durability and minimal environmental impact, even after disposal. We encourage the responsible recycling of batteries at the end of their lifespan.

- On a small platter, mix a teaspoon of olive oil and a teaspoon of lemon juice.

- Take a Q-tip (or other soft cotton cloth) and apply the mix to the exterior wood parts of your watch, including the bezel and links. Be careful not to apply too much, just enough to wipe down the wood.

- Wipe away any excess residue with a clean, dry cotton cloth afterwards.

Engraving

Yes! Each Watch can be engraved with a personal message of up to 60 characters on the backplate and wooden box of the watch and be done during your order.

Please note that when you order a product with a custom engraving, we need some extra time to prepare it for shipment. This usually takes 3-5 business days.
