The Tree Ring Memorial watches offer those grieving a meaningful way to remember and honor their loved one. Engrave the initials and/or years of your loved one or keep it as a minimalist, unengraved face, featuring the tree rings that symbolize all of the wonderful years. The back of the watch has a compartment that can hold a small amount of cremation remains. The water tight compartment is easily opened and closed with a US penny or screwdriver.
Your timepiece will be crafted from a limb of a mature living Douglas-fir tree, known for its longevity and resilience. The watch crafted from the tree’s branch will have at least 80 annual rings. The timepiece and associated tree become a living tribute, symbolizing the enduring spirit of the departed individual.
Removing the lower limbs of Montana Douglas-fir trees increase 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 living tree that should be around for decades or even centuries more. Along with your watch you receive a photo of the tree, Tree ID#/coordinates and access to an an online map allowing for a virtual journey for families to explore and visit their loved one's tree. A maximum of 10 watches will be made from each tree, thus keeping the connection intimate.

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.
