Are Wooden Watches Durable?
When people hear the term wooden watch, they often wonder: Can a wooden watch really be durable? At Aarni, we understand the concern — and we’re here to assure you that yes, wood watches can be incredibly durable. In fact, they can be just as long-lasting and reliable as traditional metal watches — and even more comfortable to wear.
What Makes Aarni Wooden Watches Durable?
The inside matters. All Aarni wooden watches use the same precise and proven internal mechanisms as high-end metal watches. This includes trusted Swiss and Japanese movements, stainless steel gaskets, dials, gears, and springs. The inner casing is made of 316L stainless steel, a material used in professional-grade timepieces.
The only difference? The outer case and/or strap are crafted from carefully selected natural wood — giving you all the benefits of wood: lightness, comfort, breathability — and a unique appearance no metal watch can match.
Pioneering Durability: Where Craftsmanship Meets Nature
At Aarni, we’ve spent over 10 years developing and refining our watches. Every model undergoes months of careful design and testing to ensure it meets our exacting standards. We combine premium natural materials with modern engineering to create watches that are both stunning and sturdy.
We also rigorously test our watches under real-life conditions. That’s how we ensure that you’ll never need to worry about your Aarni watch keeping up with your lifestyle.
