It is also a relatively affordable tree species.
For first-time customers.
I think it is a watch case of an easy-to-find tree species.
The reason for the reasonable price is simple!
It is a plantation timber from North America.
It is easy to obtain stable wood throughout the year.
Maple wood.
And it can be used as a musical instrument material or furniture material,
Oak wood.
As well as furniture materials
It is also used as a barrel material for whiskey, wine, and other products.
Yes, that exquisite aroma is the scent of oak wood!

Can I order maple without coloring? Can I order maple without color?
You may ask the question.

Interior leather and Mr. U's German-made watch
next
Mr. U had a question about the interior leather.
We will guide you through the process.
Many customers choose "pastured leather" for their interior leather.
The leather from free-range, stress-free sheepskin has a good texture and coloring.
There is a distinct difference from farmed sheep and PIGs.
Well, maybe it's the same for people (laughs).
Grazing sheepskin is less likely to deteriorate in use.
It would be perfect for customers who store high-end watches.
and above all
Cannot be expressed in captive leather.
You can also enjoy its beautiful form.

I was curious about the watch that Mr. U is wearing.
Let me take a look at it for a moment...!

The watch is made in Germany.
When it comes to German-made clocks that we often see at Seoul Bird,
Almost exclusively Lange and Glashütte originals,
Then there is Nomos, and so on,
As for the watches brought to Seoul Bird
I think it is quite rare.
Mr. U used to wear a Swiss watch.
I heard that you were collecting them,
Lately, I'm loving the German ones!
It is said that this is the case.
From playful design,
To a watch designed with a crisp impression.
His interest shifted.
The watch you showed us also has three hands! Simple!
The impression is stylish and fashionable!
It's not easy to see.
We were shown a valuable watch!
Thank you very much.
A watch case for a particular watch with a particular watch
well
I was just showing you the Maple and Oak wood.
It was in the showcase.
We have found one watch case!
This watch case is made of "monkey pods" from the Hawaiian Islands.
Monkey pods have long been popular in Japan.
Mr. Hitachi's CM
What kind of tree is this?
The tree is the large tree that appears in the commercials for the
That is a monkey pod!
You are already familiar with it.
It is a very abundant wood in Hawaii.
Not seen in Japanese lumber
The unique tropical mood has a Hawaiian feel.
It is a very popular species at Seoul Bird.
Mr. U also seemed to like it very much,
From the originally planned maple and oak wood
The decision was quickly made to go with monkeypod wood!
It is in the same price range as black walnut, etc.
than maple or oak.
You are considering a higher grade
We recommend this tree species to our customers.
Bordeaux-colored grazing lamb suede was selected for the interior.
This color is also very popular.
First and foremost, it is quite high grade.
The texture is amazing."
The color balance with the shades of monkeypod is definitely a color balance,
It makes for a pretty nice watch case!
Thank you very much for your order!
*For reference, monkeypod wood is
From similarly priced walnut pieces.
Some pieces are a little more expensive, with intricate wood grain appearing.
Please contact us for details.
And a few months later, it's done!
