Both pens and watches are made from Douglas-fir trees.
In the rugged mountains of Montana, where century old trees grow slowly, wood acquires extraordinary character. This character and an appreciation of time, our most precious resource, are the essence of Tree Ring.
The trees we craft our watches from are growing on steep and dry slopes. Stuck in the understroy with low amounts of sunlight and water, the trees struggle to survive putting on the narrowest growth ring year after year.
Beleive it or not, we have some that are approximately 140 years old.
On each
pen, the origin year of the tree, i.e., the year that the tree was a
tiny seedling or sapling, and the year that the tree was harvested are
inscribed on the pen.
On each watch, the origin year of the tree is marked.
Trees are harvested primarily from State of Montana forestland in the Bitterroot Mountains.
