Tense Watches

Tense Wooden Watches Are Made From Recycled Wood

This company can take a piece of wood the size of a notebook. Then two watches are created with the one-piece, saving "time" money and resources. It is a great value, finding wood sources in different ways. Scrap wood from logging and small wood from furniture makers is the primary source. This is a great way to make a fine woodworking timepiece.

The best part about wood for a material is how it changes. Wood interacts with the person wearing it and their daily activities.  The natural oils of each person help to change the watch to fit in more ways than one. 

Wood is also naturally hypo-allergenic material. This means that people with allergies and skin conditions can often wear wood without adverse effects. Wood is also lightweight. You don't always feel like something is on your wrist.

This watch company keeps its vision and the need for creating more "time" for planet Earth.

They donate 1 percent of sales to Take Root. This non-profit organization does reforestation that helps small yield farmers. They often help small farms in Central America. Planting trees is the best way to help all of us.
