utilizing scrap material from flooring, the watches represent a commitment to sustainability and a collaboration between multiple skilled specialists who have precisely crafted and finished the objects.

to further expand on their environmental initiatives, wewood works in partnership with american forests with a commitment to plant one tree for every watched purchased.
