Original Grain Minimalist Watch for Simple Elegance
Give the Gift of a Beautiful Original Grain Minimalist Watch
With Valentine’s Day almost here, I couldn’t help but tell you about this gorgeous watch I found for the hubs! His had broken and he had been fussing about since it happened. If you wear a watch, then you know what I am talking about! Whether you have it on, or not, you still look at your wrist to see what time it is. It is frustrating when it’s not there! When I saw this gorgeous Original Grain Minimalist Watch, I knew I had to get it for him!
This particular Original Grain watch is the “Minimalist” style. It comes in a several wood and case choices. I chose the Golf/Ebony Wood/Wood Dial for my hubs and he loves it!
About Original Grain Watches
Each watch is handcrafted from a variety of sustainably sourced exotic hardwood from around the world. They hold their timepieces to the highest standards of craftsmanship, authenticity, and quality. In doing so, each of their products is truly an original.
The Original Grain Minimalist Watch
The Minimalist is handcrafted and features an ultra-sleek 40 mm case and the world’s thinnest wooden bezel (or the grooved ring that holds the glass) ever cut. The watch features a mineral crystal glass, a gorgeous real ebony wood dial, and a water-resistant casing. The water-resistant casing protects against splashes, however you shouldn’t swim or submerge in water.
My husband is in love with style and the simplicity of the Minimalist watch! There is no complicated gadgetry involved. It is no overloaded with unnecessary items. It is very easy to set the watch by simply pulling the crown out and turning. The Minimalist has no AM/PM settings.
The Minimalist Original Grain watch has an hour hand, along with a minute hand and Japanese Miyota Citizen Quartz movement. It does not have a second hand. The watch features bold marks for the hours and smaller marks for the minutes on the wooden face. It is easy to glance and see the time.
It is an exquisite watch that looks sleek and elegant on the arm! My husband loves how thin it is. He hates big bulky watches that seem to get in the way of things!
1 WATCH = 10 TREES PLANTED
I love that Original Grain partners with “Trees for the Future” a Non-Profit Organization! For every watch sold, they plant 10 trees! This in turn, provides both food and jobs for thousands of people around the globe.
