Telling time has never been more interesting than with the Grovemade Wood Watch. That is, telling time in an analog fashion. The earthy timepiece replaces the traditional straight hands with circular alternatives that will bring to mind an old rotary phone for some. Depending on what time it is, an orange dot and black (or white if the face is black) dot will appear in two of the perforations.
Hand-sanded and oiled, the Grovemade Wood Watch is available in four versions: Eastern Hardrock Maple or Black Walnut with either a face that is square or round. Finished with a leather (black and brown) or silicone strap, the Grovemade Wood Watch is set to be available this winter. It will start at $299.
