"Trees of Remembrance” watches offer those grieving a meaningful way to remember and honor their loved one. Your timepiece will be crafted from a limb of a majestic Douglas-fir tree, a species known for its longevity and resilience. The watch crafted from the tree’s branch will have at least 70 annual rings. The timepiece and associated Tree become a living tribute, symbolizing the enduring spirit of the departed individual.
Removing the lower limbs of western Douglas-fir trees increases their resilience against fire. Douglas-fir can live for hundreds of years, though forest fire is increasingly catastrophic to these trees.

In addition to the timepiece that serves as a consistent reminder of your loved one, there is a connection to a majestic tree that is expected to live for centuries. The Tree Dedication Map and unique Tree ID# that you receive allows for a virtual journey to explore and visit your loved one's tree. A maximum of 10 watches will be made from each tree, thus keeping the connection intimate.

Tree Ring Science

A tree grows from the center- each year adding another ring onto its stem. Tree ring records show the range of nature's conditions, for example temperature variations between summer and winter are responsible for the light and dark bands within a given annual ring. Large year-to-year fluctuations in precipitation, as is the case throughout much of the western U.S., cause narrow rings during and following dry periods and wider rings during or following wet years. The Tree Ring pens and watches are made using tree ring analysis techniques.

Tree ring science or dendrochronology includes the dating of annual rings and analyzing patterns, such as width, density, and chemical composition. Dendrochronology relies on the principle that tree growth proceeds only as fast as allowed by the most limiting factor. Throughout much of the semiarid western US, water limits tree growth. In a tree-ring series, abnormally wet and dry years will produce wide and narrow annual growth rings, respectively. For a given climatic region, tree-ring widths will share similar patterns of wide and narrow rings referred to as common variance. Cross-dating is a visual comparison of the common variance from numerous trees of the same climatic region. By chronologically ordering the wide and narrow rings of trees from a given climatic region, cross-dating assures that each tree ring is dated correctly to the calendar year of formation. Tree Ring Pens have all been dated using these scientific principles.

In the words of Herman Hesse "one can read its whole history in the luminous inscribed disk of its trunk: in the rings of its years, its scars, all the struggle, all the suffering, all the sickness, all the happiness and prosperity stand truly written, the narrow years and the luxurious years, the attacks withstood, the storms endured."

The wood dials are hand selected for their beauty and unique annual tree ring history. Underneath each wood dial sits a Swiss made quartz movement. The watch is enclosed by a high quality stainless steel case and a sapphire crystal. A slice of a tree is a snapshot of its life history. Hand crafted in the Big Sky Country of Montana.
