How to take care of your Wood Watch

How to Maintain Your Wooden Watch – Naturally and Effectively

A wooden watch is more than just a timepiece — it’s a natural, handcrafted accessory that deserves proper care. With the right maintenance, your wooden watch can stay beautiful and functional for many years.

Why Wooden Watches Need Maintenance

Wood is a living material that reacts to its environment. Changes in humidity or exposure to heat can dry it out, causing dullness, cracks, or even splitting. To prevent this, it’s important to treat your wooden watch regularly with a protective and nourishing product.

Protect Your Watch with Natural Beeswax

At Woodpecker Watches, we’ve developed a natural beeswax specifically for the care of wooden watches. This wax protects the wood, enhances its natural texture, and prevents it from drying out. It's easy to use, 100% natural, and safe for both skin and materials.

Benefits of our beeswax:

100% natural and eco-friendly
Protects against drying and cracking
Maintains the wood’s natural glow and smoothness
Extends the life of your watch
Skin-safe and free from harmful chemicals

How to Use the Beeswax

Make sure your watch is clean and dry
Apply a small amount of beeswax to a soft microfiber cloth
Gently rub it into the wooden parts of the watch
Let it sit for a few hours so the wax can fully absorb
Buff with a clean cloth for a natural shine

We recommend treating your wooden watch every few months, or more often if worn daily or in dry conditions.
