So I do have my own watch collection of swatches and various brands, but I noticed no one really posts anything about wooden watches. I’ve been pretty big on them the past couple of years and have 5, but I usually see more classic/staple watch posts on Reddit and now Lemmy (Reddit is dead to me).
What’s your opinion; are you for or against wood Timepieces and why?
Wooden watches make me anxious in the same way that ceramic watches make me anxious.
Sure, these materials are by now well understood (wood is literally ancient and manufacturers like Rado have long perfected ceramic cases and bracelets) but I still just feel… worried that they might get damaged more easily than steel and, once damaged, will be harder to repair without replacement cases and / or bracelets.
Aesthetically I have nothing against them.
I appreciate my views may not be wholly rational.
What is your experience with your wooden watches?
