Original Grain

This watch company is repurposing the very essence of luxury itself. With “pieces of time” engineered from certified sustainable materials that are ethically sourced, you are an immediate advocate for our natural environment the moment you slide on an Old Grain watch. Each piece is an artful fusion of opulence and natural simplicity.

Since its explosive start on Kickstarter in 2013, Old Grain has been pushing the boundaries of sustainable innovation and is now considered a world-class creator of sophisticated watches and accessories. Founders, Ryan and Andrew Beltran, draw their inspiration for each watch from their Pacific Northwest roots. With an unyielding dedication to both renewable resources and stark originality, these brothers have crafted timepieces that have set a powerful precedent for what luxury can be.

What makes each watch one of a kind is the fusion of hardwoods and stainless steel. The wood material utilized is either repurposed or certified sustainable by the Forest Stewardship Council. Rather than hiding the rawness of wood, Old Grain highlights and elevates the character of each reclaimed piece. Every watch literally has a story to tell with its possible origins from exotic places in Africa, South America, Japan, China, and even in the USA. You could be wearing Sapele wood scrapped from Ghana, Rosewood from India, or Koa wood from Hawaii. No two watches are exactly the same, even within each collection.

Every collection crafted by Old Grain fits the tastes of the sophisticated crowd, the adventurous pack, and even the curious bunch. You can almost smell the liquor emanating from the Barrel collection with material options like bourbon barrel wood from Kentucky. You could be wearing vintage wood sourced from Yankee stadium seats with a watch from the MLB™ Fan Shop collection. Even trashed wine-soaked wood gets reincarnated into mid-century elegance with watches found in the Minimalist collection.

In its pursuit for beautiful and authentic craftmanship, Old Grain also does not compromise on reliable function. Using traditional woodworking techniques, these watches are solid, highly water-resistant, and can endure wear and tear. Fearlessly navigate any trail without the worry of damage. Whether your preferred pathway is in the boardroom or on the mountain, these watches perfectly adapt to any wearer.

Because of its commitment to renewable and sustainable resources, Old Grain strives to reduce unnecessary waste and conserve our natural world. Each piece is wrapped in reusable packaging and is engineered to use the smallest amount of materials. No grain is used in vain. Their sizable profits are allocated to reforestation efforts dedicated to “striving for a better tomorrow.” When you purchase a watch, Old Grain plants a new tree in an area where it will help the local community and where its beauty will be appreciated. Their partnerships with both Trees for the Future and One Tree Planted have helped Old Grain plant more than half a million trees to date. Currently, they are focusing their tree restoration efforts on the Umpqua National Forest.

While we admire the beautiful craftsmanship of each of their timepieces, we are truly in awe of their unwavering support for our environment. Old Grain is aiming to repurpose luxury and we want to spread their vision. At Gear.com, our curated collection of Old Grain watches makes you look great and feel exceptional.
