THIS CHRISTMAS, GIFT SOMETHING TRULY UNIQUE 🎄
In 2016, Sam and Philipp, two good friends who shared a fascination for minimalist design, craftsmanship, and the quiet beauty of nature, contemplated an idea shaped by the striking landscapes of the Ore Mountains:
"Could we create objects that capture the Ore Mountains' natural elegance?"
The Ore Mountains, known for their mineral richness and serene forests, became more than scenery, they became a source of direction. Sam and Philipp envisioned designs that reflected the region’s understated charm through honest materials, warm textures, and timeless simplicity.
Guided by that vision, Zeitholz was born. What began with wooden timepieces gradually expanded into a broader purpose: to craft everyday objects that bring warmth, intention, and a sense of connection to the natural world.
Today, Zeitholz offers a thoughtful family of nature-inspired accessories, including wooden watches,sunglasses,natural stone & wood jewellery sets, and our first fragrance, Oud Whispers—each created with care and a respect for natural materials.
At our core is a simple belief: meaningful design begins with understanding the materials we choose.
At Zeitholz, sustainability is the heartbeat of everything we create – from wooden watches to sunglasses, bracelets, and pendants. We craft timeless pieces using reclaimed and responsibly sourced wood, blending thoughtful design with ecological responsibility.
Each watch purchase contributes to reforestation through our partnership with Trees for the Future (TREES). Together, we empower communities in Africa by planting trees that regenerate degraded land, improve food security, and combat poverty.
Our vision goes beyond craftsmanship – it’s about building a greener, more sustainable future. By choosing Zeitholz, you help create real impact, one tree at a time. That’s our promise: meaningful design, rooted in purpose.
Every Zeitholz product contains a true piece of nature – whether it rests on your wrist or shades your eyes.
Our design philosophy blends the elegance of traditional watchmaking with the beauty and sustainability of the natural world.
Each of our creations unites nature and innovation, delivering functionality, longevity, and a distinctive style – all crafted with precision and care for the environment.
In crafting Zeitholz watches, we adhere to a profound respect for nature, employing 100% natural wood certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). This ensures our materials meet the highest environmental and social standards.
Our commitment extends to our packaging, made from natural, recyclable materials, minimizing environmental impact and plastic use.
We embody FSC principles in every detail, emphasizing conservation, community, and workers' rights.
Our collections of watches for men and watches for women are a tribute to the Ore Mountains, a region steeped in beauty and tradition.
Each watch carries the name of a Saxony town, reflecting the distinctive charm of these locales.
From the quiet waters of the Bärwalder See a couple of kilometres from Klitten to the imposing beauty of Stolpen' Castle, every design captures the spirit of its namesake.
This map of the Ore Mountains is more than a guide; it's an invitation to explore the stories behind our watches, each pinpoint a source of inspiration for the piece on your wrist.
