Eco Wrist is a company that makes eco-friendly, sustainable wrist wear for men and women. I had the pleasure of meeting the owners (and husband and wife) David Gandy and MarQuerite Hamden at a street fair here in Brooklyn last month, where Sexy and I bought our new watches! (Check them out below.)

Here’s the scoop.

All of their watches are derived from all-natural sustainable materials. The material include bamboo, tagua nuts, acheera seeds, coconut, wood, cow’s leather and reed. Other woods used are teak, brittlebush, granadilla tree wood and macana tree wood. The majority of the materials used to make the timepieces are from South American farms, and are harvested in a sustainable manner. The wristbands are made of leather local to the Amazon region. They even created a unique way of securing the watch to your wrist eliminating the need for metal clasps, using less materials as well.

The company itself is sustainable as it uses all natural materials for the watches, the company also recycles and finds ways tominimize waste“to ensure as little effect on the environment as possible.”
On top of all that, they have some really NICE watches in very unique desgins! Prices start at $84. (On a budget? If you save up, one of these makes a great gift!)

Currently, EcoWrist sells their watches primarily wholesale and as vendors at various locations. They will be at festivals in and around NY for the rest of the summer.  To contact them directly to inquire about purchasing a watch. Click here.
