all are awsome
Any one of these lovely watches would make a great Christmas present for my husband.
These Time pieces are stunning! I have been carving wood since I was young, cherry & walnut baby rattles, oak&ash or black walnut & cherry Chess Pieces & boards but have never been brave enough to tackle a time piece. Just georgeous! My son would be so proud to own such a beautiful heirloom. You do such good works!
My son would love one of those watches. he’s a watch collector.
the craftmanship is elegant and truly amazing
There all gorgeous. I’d be happy to wear any one of them
Truly amazing … I’ll take any one of them
Just a heads up. The women’s Svenn watches are VERY fragile. My petite wife has managed to break the band twice. The problem is that the band is attached to the watch and at the clasp with a 6mm piece of wood that apparently is very soft. Most other wood watches have at least a 14mm wide piece of wood that is twice as strong. The other issue is that it is a long wait and expensive to get replacement parts. The Svenn watch is at best a part time watch, not worth the money!
