Description.
WeWOOD manufactures watches completely from wood with the exception of the glass, movement, battery, pins and clasp. The watches use Japanese Miyota movement pieces. WeWOOD also manufactures multi-wood watches. The wood used in watches is hypo-allergenic and is not treated with chemicals. Therefore, the watches are not waterproof. The company uses different woods to derive different colors for the watches and does not use dyes to alter the color of the wood. The company uses recycled wood for manufacturing watches.
The designs of WeWOOD watches are prepared in Italy and the watches are manufactured in Indonesia and China. The company has offices in Los Angeles and Lamporecchio.
