I'd choose this wooden timepiece over a smartwatch anytime


Grovemade is very good at creating wooden mobile accessories that look nice. The Portland, Oregon-based company always has been good at this, reaching all the way back to 2009, when it introduced some unique, handcrafted Apple accessories and other office items.

Now, Grovemade sells minimalist timepieces. The company teamed up with industrial designer Stefan Andrén to try their hand at making the Grovemade Wood Watch, a wooden take on the traditional dial wristwatch.
