Wrist watches made of wood


Ukrainian Valerii Danevych makes his functional wrist watches almost entirely out of wood, with the sole exception of a metal spring needed to propel the movement.

Coming from a long line of cabinetmakers, he has had a fascination for wood since his early school days when he made a 3cm guitar using human hair for strings.

As he grew up and his skills improved, he moved on from restoring wooden objects and creating miniature artworks to making mechanical products.

So, despite having no training as a watchmaker, he began working on functional wooden wristwatches.
