Berthoud Walnut Wood Watch

The Berthoud watch, by Mathieu Blanchard, is freely designed, drawing inspiration from the most prodigious watchmakers the field has known. This model is thus named in homage to Ferdinand Berthoud: a chronometer maker who marked history with his fabulous creations, and notably his marine chronometers which, in the 18th century, guided the ships of the Kings of France towards new horizons.

The grain of the wood, like a fingerprint, is unique, making each watch entirely different. Each watch is crafted with great care to be a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. Elevate the experience further with a personalized engraving on the back of the watch.

The durability of a product depends mainly on its materials. For Mathieu Blanchard Signature watches, we use materials that stand the test of time.

For the crystal, we use sapphire crystal: it is the most frequently used crystal on high-end watches today. Sapphire crystal is 10 times harder than mineral glass and 4 times harder than acrylic glass. It is virtually impossible to scratch except with a diamond, which is even harder. This crystal is designed in a laboratory.

For the watch cases and straps, we have made enormous efforts to produce using durable materials such as natural wood from sustainable sources and matte-finished stainless steel. This finish provides visual durability, as wear and tear appear much less than on a polished finish.

Loving nature, it is often a source of calm, comfort, and frequently the starting point for our collections of jewelry & accessories. We are proud to offer watches made from noble and durable materials. Our primary material is wood, which offers a significant environmental advantage over other comparable materials: low carbon emissions during the production process and biodegradable materials.

Our watches are handcrafted with great precision by a highly experienced team. Each watch is naturally unique and made with real wood such as walnut and oak (sourced from whisky barrels).
