Leathwoods

Leathwoods is a small studio — a team of three — producing handcrafted wooden watches, sunglasses, and bracelets built around the premise that a gift should carry meaning rather than merely value. Each piece is made from natural woods selected for grain character and finished with stainless steel detailing, then engraved to order with names, dates, or messages chosen by the buyer. The studio plants a tree for every purchase. It is a modest proposition, stated without pretension: something made well, made personal, and made to last.

Team of Three

Leathwoods is a small studio of three people, built on the idea that personalisation should be the product, not a feature added at checkout.

Free Engraving

Every piece is engraved before it ships — a name, a date, or a sentence the buyer writes themselves.

8+ Wood Species

Walnut, zebrawood, ebony, tigerwood, kosso, maple, snakewood and sandalwood — each chosen for its individual grain character.

Plant a Tree

The studio plants one tree per purchase, extending the natural-material story into an environmental commitment.

Origin

Three people. One clear idea. Leathwoods was built on a specific observation: that most gifts, however well-intentioned, are impersonal. The studio’s answer was to make personalisation the product — not a feature added at checkout, but the reason the watch exists. Every Leathwoods piece is engraved before it ships, whether with a name, a date, or a sentence the buyer writes themselves. The wood is the medium. The engraving is the message.

Design Philosophy

Nature-first. Then meaning. The Leathwoods aesthetic is deliberately restrained — indices, no complication beyond the time — because the wood grain is doing the visual work. The result is a watch that reads as simple from a distance and reveals texture and character on closer inspection. The tree-planting commitment extends this natural-material narrative into the brand’s environmental stance.

The Collection

Named pieces. Distinctive grain. Leathwoods names each watch individually — Sandalwood, Ocean, White Oak, Olive, Bear, Velvet — reflecting the specific material or aesthetic character of that piece. Every order ships in a premium wooden gift box and includes the engraving service at no additional cost, alongside free worldwide shipping.

Leathwoods does not make a mechanical argument — its proposition is that a watch made from a living material and engraved with a personal inscription is categorically different from one bought off a shelf. — Editorial, Maison Indépendante
