Sir David Attenborough is currently trending on social media as today is his 92nd birthday. Many of us might have seen the trend and thought the worst, but not to worry, many of us are wishing the Planet Earth presenter the best of wishes on his birthday. David Attenborough is a man who has influenced the masses with his soft voice, narrating and presenting nature for many decades. It was in 1954 that Attenborough wanted to change the way television presented animals, rather than taking them out of their natural habitat, filming them in their natural environment in the award winning Zoo Quest.
Blue Planet II was the most watched TV series of 2017, with 14.1 million people watching the first episode air on the 29th of October. It is a program which celebrates the discovery of wildlife, the hour long episodes in the seven part series took a staggering fours years to make.
In celebration of the work that Sir David Attenborough has done over the years, not only for the nation but for the world, we thought we would mention some environmentally friendly watches that we stock.
WeWood
The first brand we thought we would mention is WeWood. They are a brand that developed in 2009 and are well known for their eco-friendly ethos and creations. The watches that this brand make are made of 100% recycled wood, wood that would have otherwise been thrown away. For each watch that is sold it is their mission to plant a tree in order to conserve the environment.
Italian Vogue even commented:
“Technically, no one can ever tell you that you have his same watch. Every wood, in fact, has a unique grain pattern as the DNA of a person.”
WeWood stocks both mens and women’s watches which are well-suited to formal and informal occasion, perfect for those that are nature loving and environmentally friendly.
Citizen
The second brand on our recommendations today is Citizen. Their timepieces are powered by Eco-drive Technology, this means that their watches charge on the go and can be powered by both indoor and outdoor light sources. Their watches are equally convenient, due to the fact that they are solar powered it also means that the battery never has to be changed therefore it is not only convenient for the wearer but also friendly for the environment as the watch uses less materials and is long lasting in durability.
If you liked any of the watches mentioned in this blog them please don’t hesitate to get in contact via our website or via phone on 01926298499, happy shopping!
