Bamboo

(Bambusa genera)

COLOR & APPEARANCE

Bamboo is actually a grass and the hollow reeds of some species can grow to 100 feet. The bamboo in our watches is created by gluing sanded strips of bamboo together then machining the new bamboo "boards" into links and watch cases. Care must be taken when sanding, but bamboo is overall an easy product to work with.
