5 LOCAL WOODEN WATCHES BRANDS FROM INDONESIA
Here are the most fashionable local wooden watches.
Wooden watches may seem like an uncommon idea at first because of how anomalistic they are, but they’ve actually proven to be a great and practical concept. First introduced as a purely stylish choice, wood watches have proven to be a viable alternative to watches made from other materials such as metals or silicone.
The time piece’s internal mechanisms are not made out of wood – to function properly; they are made out of the same metal materials as regular watches. It’s the casing of the watch, as well the wristband, that’s made of wood.
You can easily find a wood watch that will go with your preferred clothing style, and if you make sure to buy a wood watch of a high enough quality, you can be surprised by its durability.
