Watches

Companies are now waking up to the fact that products need to be produced in a sustainable fashion both to preserve our planet and for the discerning consumer. 

We picked some of our favourite watches from the finest brands employing genuine efforts to clean up their manufacture. Watch companies that check the provenance of their suppliers and pay them correctly, including conflict free gems and ethical gold.  Some pay a percentage of their sales to cleaning up the environment and the seas. Whilst others use bio plastic cases, natural rubber and recycled packaging.

Here's a lovely selection of watches to drool over this Autumn. There may not be any sunshine so stay in and read up on these marvellous mechanical marvels from some of the greatest watch manufacturers of our generation.

Bronze watches bring something a little different to your wrist. Most watch manufacturers are proud of the immaculate finish on their watch cases, plus a pristine case sheen is the sign of a quality watch. Not so with bronze, it reacts to air and water to evolve a patina that changes over time, inheriting both colour and texture from your environment. A bronze watch develops its own character depending on your travels. It becomes truly unique and nothing quite beats the warm glow of weather-worn bronze. Plus these are the only watches that suit sporting a leather strap in the sea.

With the launch of its custom-built Timepieces programme, Porsche Design is starting a new chapter in the manufacture of wristwatches.

The idea of a

“sports car on your wrist” timepiece is founded on an entirely new production process. “To be able to offer, in series production, a watch with more than 1.5 million options, we had to make significant changes to the current ordering and manufacturing processes. These include the way in which a customer configures a personal chronograph to match a car,”
