THE PROCESS
DESIGN
The design process of Bettél wooden watches is a meticulous and carefully thought-out journey that starts with the selection of the highest quality local hard woods and genuine leather. The team of skilled craftsmen carefully handpicks each piece of wood and leather to ensure the best possible outcome.
​
Once the materials have been selected, the designers start the process of creating a prototype. This involves careful measurements and calculations to ensure that the watch is perfectly balanced and will fit comfortably on any wrist.
​
After the initial design has been created, the team of craftsmen begins the process of shaping and sanding the wooden case and band. Each piece is carefully carved and sanded to perfection, ensuring that the watch is both beautiful and durable.
​
The leather strap is also carefully crafted, with attention paid to every detail. The strap is cut and sewn by hand, ensuring that it is comfortable to wear and will last for years to come.
​
Finally, the team assembles each watch, carefully fitting the wooden case, the movement, and the leather strap together. Each Bettél wooden watch is a unique masterpiece, lovingly crafted by skilled artisans who take pride in every step of the process.
​
Bettél wooden watches are a testament to the art of craftsmanship and the beauty of natural materials. The design process reflects the company's commitment to creating sustainable, high-quality products that will last for generations to come.
MATERIALS
Bettél wooden watches are made using only the finest materials, chosen for their beauty, durability, and sustainability. The two primary materials used in the creation of these watches are kiaat hardwood and genuine leather.
​
Kiaat hardwood, also known as African teak, is a dense, durable wood with a rich, warm color and distinctive grain patterns. The wood is sustainably sourced, ensuring that it is both environmentally responsible and of the highest quality. The wood is then carefully crafted and polished to create a unique finish that highlights the natural beauty of the wood.
​
Genuine leather is used to create the straps of the watches. The brand carefully selects only the finest leather, choosing hides that are soft, supple, and strong. The leather is tanned using natural processes, ensuring that it is both environmentally responsible and of the highest quality. The leather is then cut and sewn by hand to create a comfortable and durable strap that complements the wooden watch case.
​
The combination of kiaat hardwood and genuine leather creates a stunning contrast, with the warm tones of the wood complementing the soft, smooth texture of the leather. The selection of these premium materials ensures that Bettél wooden watches are not only beautiful but also long-lasting and sustainable, making them an excellent choice for those who value quality and craftsmanship.
