ORIGINAL GRAIN Based in the USA, Original Grain combines the natural fingerprints of the chosen wood grains with various finishes in steel to create a watch that brings out the best of both materials. Segmented dials, bezel inserts as well as integrated wood/metal bracelets all bring out the full potential of combining these disparate materials. Powered by either Japanese quartz, or in a few instances a Japanese automatic winding mechanical, Original Grain is also one of the few wood watches that offers a water resistant model among their selections. Prices range from as little as $159 for the minimalist collection up to just under $500 for the majority of the collections. AboutTime Magazine | 113
