Lately, I've been rethinking my style — shifting away from the more generic, corporate look and trying to figure out what actually feels like me.
One thing I knew I wanted to get right was my watch.
I've gone through phases — from an Apple Watch to a chunky Russian diver — but I was looking for something with more personality. Something a bit unique...
That's what drew me to Original Grain.
There are a lot of great watches out there, but none with a story quite like this one.

Charred Whiskey Watch
A Century in the Making
Soaked equally in tradition and world-class whiskey, Kentucky Bourbon Barrels make for an entirely unique and truly distinctive wood source.

Turning Reclaimed Wood Into Premium Timepieces
When most people think of watches, wood isn't usually the first material that comes to mind.
But Original Grain has changed that.
They've turned reclaimed wood into true timepieces — not just stylish accessories, but watches built to last.
Each piece is crafted using reclaimed materials like
- Military surplus
- Whiskey barrels
- Beer Barrels
- Exotic Hardwoods
- Guitar Wood
- Coffee Beans
Every watch is carefully assembled, quality-checked, and designed to stand the test of time.
Just like any premium metal watch but... So much cooler.

People Always Ask About This Watch
There's just something about a wooden watch that is so much more interesting than the average watch.
Every time I wear my Original Grain watch, it turns heads — and without fail, someone asks about it. It's the ultimate conversation starter.
The team at Original Grain nailed the balance between unique materials and classic design.
These watches look right at home whether you're wearing them every day or pairing them with something more formal.
That kind of versatility is hard to come by, but I definitely appreciate it when I find it.

A Wooden Watch That's Made to Last a Lifetime
Wooden watches don't always get the credit they deserve when it comes to quality, but Original Grain is changing that.
They use a tempered carbonization process to strengthen the wood and prevent decay, and pair it with a stainless steel case for extra durability.
As far as durability is concerned, you don't have to worry at all.
To be honest, I'm not sure where the myth of wood watches not standing the test of time comes from. With proper care, your Original Grain watch will last a lifetime.

Feel Confident Thanks to a Solid Warranty
Let's say you're still skeptical. After all, if you haven't owned a wooden watch before, you've probably spent your entire life thinking that wooden watches are a cheap gimmick.
You can be confident ordering your Original Grain Watch thanks to its 1 year warranty that covers:
- Watch Movements
- Watch Hands
- Strap
- Links
- Clasp
The team behind Original Grain build every timepiece by hand. While it's not likely, if their expert craftsmen do make a mistake, you'll be covered.
Believe me, I tried finding reports from other customers.

The watch looks outstanding! Very impressed with original grain. Like that they give back by planting trees, helps veterans, (SEMPER fI) ,and gives new life and purpose to the material they use and the lives of those they meet.
