Being eco-friendly is arguably one of the most fast-growing trends nowadays. Many global companies have already embarked on a new, greener path, but the credit should be given to local and unknown brands that shape the mass industries from within. Watch market is no exception. While Cartier, Patek Philippe, and Rolex luxury watches continue to be the primary focus of the watch collectors, there is a constellation of sustainable watch brands that already make the difference. Let’s take a look at some of them.
5 sustainable watch brands for true environmentalists
- TRIWA
“Transforming the Industry of Watches” – that is what the name stands for. Indeed, the Swedish brand is known for its organically-tanned leather straps, while cases of their timepieces are made out of recycled illegal weapons brought from conflict zones.
- Solios
The Canadian watch brand Solios pioneered in manufacturing sustainable solar-powered watches. It is a great alternative to quartz watches. Unlike the latter, Solios watches have no expiry date and get the energy from the Sun.
- Nordgreen
Free from toxic materials, Nordgreen watches have gained instant popularity since their release in 2017. The Danish manufacturer does its best to make its products affordable for the general public.
- Solgaard
Solgaard specializes in a range of sustainable items, including backpacks, suitcases, and jewels. In 2018, the American company launched its HEX watch collection. Minimalistic yet good-looking wristwatches will be a perfect choice for any occasion. Furthermore, they help eliminate ocean plastic pollution.
- Woodwatch
As the name implies, Woodwatch makes wooden watches. The Dutch ethical brand offers uniquely designed pieces that won’t cost you an arm and a leg. For each item sold, the company plants three trees. Amazing, isn’t it?
By collecting and wearing sustainable watches, you not only improve your karma but also contribute to nature conservation. And the above-mentioned sustainable watch brands are a good way to start!
