Beautiful & sustainable

our philosophy

A noble & simple design and high-quality workmanship are very important to us. Because our products should not only make your everyday life easier, but also beautify it.

However, our idea of appreciation begins with the materials, which are selected according to fair and sustainable criteria. With the production in our own workshop and the internal customer service, we consistently continue and implement this philosophy.

Wanduhr aus Filz und Kork

Stable cork backing

The basis of our wall clock is a solid disc made of cork granules. We get these from the Netherlands.

Cork granules are a by-product of cork processing. By using it for the cork disc and other products made from cork granules, resources are conserved and waste is avoided.

(Battery not included.)

Wool from trustworthy shepherds

The wool for our felt comes from sheep from New Zealand and Australia. The wool is mulesing free. Mulesing is a controversial process, which is unfortunately still practiced in Australia, but only with Merino wool sheep. The Australian wool from our German felt producer is 100% free of merino wool. This creates a mixture of New Zealand merino wool and Australian non-merino wool, which also has an effect on the particularly good and consistent quality of our felt. It is even, stable and pleasant to the touch.

Cork, the good mood material from Portugal

Cork has a uniquely pleasant feel. The harvest is good for our environment and the people who grow cork oaks. Cork oak forests are particularly sustainable biotopes with diverse flora and fauna. Every 9-11 years the tree forms a new bark. A cork oak that is harvested binds 3 times as much CO2 as one that is not harvested. Harvesting is a Portuguese tradition that can only be done by hand. It guarantees forest owners a secure and well-paid existence.

Frequently asked questions

Where is the wall clock made?

We produce the wall clock in our workshop in Germany | Trier.

Where do the materials come from?
  • The felt is made in Germany (Bavaria) produced.
  • The wool for this comes from sheep from New Zealand and Australia. The wool is mulesingfrei. Mulesing is a controversial process, which is unfortunately still practiced in Australia, but only with Merino wool sheep. The Australian wool from our producer is 100% free of merino wool.
  • We source the cork disc from the Netherlands.
  • Cork itself comes from cork oak trees in Portugal. These are cultivated particularly sustainably and guarantee a good income for the forest owners.
  • The movement comes from DUGENA. A German watch manufacturer with a long history.
Is the wall clock sustainable?

Consistent!

  • We pay attention to short supply chains and continuously optimize them.
  • Production after order. This also applies to our wall clock. In this way we avoid "dead stock".
  • Sensible use of material leftovers. The material leftovers from production are used elsewhere as filling material, so that the production is almost waste-free.
  • The cork disc made from cork granules saves resources, since the granules are a waste product of cork processing.
  • Good for the climate. A cork oak that is harvested regularly binds 3 times as much CO2 as a tree that is not harvested.
  • Minimal use of plastic. The wool felt and the cork disc are completely biodegradable. The hands are made of metal. Only the movement is made of plastic.
