Upcycledwatches does not reinvent sustainability!
Watches have been manufactured by well-known or less well-known brands and under manufactured under appropriate conditions (over which we have no influence)
However, we make use of the circular economy and ensure that the watches do not simply end up as waste, but are given a new life. are given a new lease of life.
That's why we don't think much of any fake certificates that claim to give us a certain level of sustainability, but instead rely on complete honesty and transparency.
The watches are classics from e.g. Alpina - Zodiac and not vegan or made of wood from China and provided with other marketing highlights and without any sustainability.
Upcycledwatches searches and finds older watch jewels that are are still functional and prepares them into a vintage watch on.
