Holzwolf: A Unique Wooden Wristwatch Inspired by European Landscapes

A Timepiece that Reflects the Essence of Nature

The handcrafted work with wood and the landscapes of Europe were the great inspiration to create a wooden wristwatch concept with a different look, adding the essence, aggressiveness, and elegance of the European forest to the project.

Holzwolf, designed by Hernani Ruhland Tralli, is a men's wristwatch made of natural wood from sustainable forestry and organic farming. What sets it apart is its unique look based on the breathtaking landscapes of Europe. The watch features a steel blue semicircle on the face, reflecting the beautiful and deep European lakes surrounded by stylish pine trees.

The Holzwolf watch is not only visually stunning but also environmentally conscious. The casing is made of 100% organic natural wood and 100% recycled stainless steel, ensuring sustainability without compromising on style. The hands of the watch are crafted from brushed steel, adding a touch of elegance to the design.

One of the standout features of the Holzwolf watch is its versatility. It comes with two types of optional wristbands - a sporty version in synthetic leather and a more casual version in wood, available in two colors. This allows the wearer to adapt the watch to their style and occasion.

Technologically, the Holzwolf watch is powered by a quartz movement, ensuring accurate timekeeping. The watch dial is a harmonious blend of wood and steel blue, creating a striking contrast that captures the essence of the European forest. The sapphire-coated mineral glass provides durability and scratch resistance, ensuring the watch remains in pristine condition for years to come.

The Holzwolf wooden watch is designed for those who appreciate the beauty of nature and want to stay connected to it. Its natural materials and earthy tones evoke a sense of tranquility and harmony. Whether you're exploring the great outdoors or attending a formal event, the Holzwolf watch is the perfect companion.

The Holzwolf project, conceived by Hernani Ruhland Tralli, was brought to life using Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator software. The meticulous attention to detail and the designer's passion for nature are evident in every aspect of the watch's design.

With its unique concept and commitment to sustainability, the Holzwolf watch is a testament to the power of innovative design. It aims to inspire a new generation of traditional handcrafted products and ecologically sustainable design.
