Looks amazing on the wrist
Looks amazing on the wrist, speedy delivery and I am very pleased. Setting the time is very fiddly and took some patience, also not sure about the clasp as its near enough impossible to place on your own arm. So pleased with the final product, would definitely recommend.

Uncommon & Very Elegant
This watch MATOA Alor is really beautiful, made of ebony wood, very elegant and uncommon, it could be a very original gift.The packaging is a small wooden socket, this is where the watch on a bearing, plastic coated (not to damage the watch during transport.) Moreover, there is also a small booklet with instructions to adjust the time and remove the clock mesh.It 's also a small box where it is marked the day, sin, however, the absence of indicators or small numbers in the dial.Very light, only 100 grams, does not feel at all on the wrist, the details are well taken care of, also the M present on the strap.The watch is not completely waterproof, only guarantees protection from drops of water, and not to a total watch immersion in water.In my case I had to remove three mesh, because the watch was a little bit large, everything was very simple and fast, thanks to the manual, which, is very simple and intuitive.Noteworthy is also the Eco-friendly initiative Matoa, as are used in ebony wood residues.A product that satisfied me 100%.I received this product, at a discount, in exchange for an unbiased and honest review.

Uniquely handmade wooden time piece - wear it for any ocassion.
Really? A Wooden Watch?When I bought the Handmade wooden watch from reclaimed Canadian Maple wood I thought this is one of the kids watch. To my surprise it isn’t.Package Contents –1x Wooden Case1x Wooden Wrist Watch 1x Instruction ManualThe Wooden Watch really looks great and well finished. You can really see the effort put in to making this fantastic Wooden Time Piece .The Wrist watch is really very light weight. The Colour of the watch isn’t very over powering either allowing any gender to wear.I gifted this to my other half. This can be worn on a formal or a casual wear , but I found the watch stands out the most if worn with denim clothing.The dial and the wooden casing brings out the elegance and fine workmanshipThe strap can be easily adjusted to fit your wrist size, just like as you would do with any other wrist watch.NOTE: Don’t throw the joints away as you may need to re-add if needed.The rear cover of the watch has a lovely carving, usually you see manual engraving, this is again makes it stand out.I am not very familiar of type of wood that come from different country or states, but the overall quality of the watch is really great. It definitely becomes talk in the group.Since the watch is individually handmade they are just unique in its own, hence this makes it ideal as a gift, you will not find the exact watch with anyone else.I can understand for some people the price of the “wooden” watch may sound a bit expensive, but when you look at the work force it could support would be unimaginable – from the time of cutting the tree to the end of packing into the wooden box.Another thing I like about the casing of the wrist watch is, the seller has nicely promoted the use of the base which can be used for growing shrubs or any small plants you could think of. The makes packaging to be recycled in true sense and reduce carbon footprint, as opposed to you see most of the watch case you bin it or its sitting in your closet.Would recommend if you are looking for a unique gift for someone you love.Although I received the product Handmade Wooden Time Piece from reclaimed Canadian Maple wood at a discounted price/complementary/gift as part of the promotion for honest and unbiased review, it has in no way reflected the ratings and the review of this product.I really hope you found my review helpful and would love for you to click on the “YES” button to say so. If you don't think my review has been helpful, before you click on the “NO“ button to say I was unhelpful, I would love you to leave me a comment with your thoughts, so I can try improving my future reviews.

Simply wonderful!!!
I have a real passion for watches, I really bought several, but I'm always looking for new, unique and original models like this signed by the Indonesian brand "Matoa" which I immediately fell in love! :)This model is called ALOR and it is made of Indonesian Makassar ebony, a known type of wood for its remarkable hardness; Entirely handmade with extreme care in every detail.Like all watches of the brand, it was produced with the waste from the manufacture of artisanal furniture, tables etc .., particularity that has greatly impressed me, and, fundamentally, having been in the wood it is Eco-Friendly, so with low environmental impact.Its design is in itself very simple, in fact, inside the rectangular dial, covered with hardened mineral crystal, we find just lancets gold color and a date window, fully functional; what makes it original are certainly details, such as the links of the strap from the very special process, really very nice to see, as well as the initial of the logo is visible on one of the links that the metal hook closure. In addition, the lid of the box are etched in addition to the brand, including its name and origin logo, while inside the strap is possible to read the serial number, details that ensure originality.The size is not overly large, approximately 43mm x 32mm x 11mm thick, with adjustable strap, making it suitable not only for men but also for us women, young and old. It 'very light and comfortable to wear, combined with an outfit both elegant and casual.It 'a watch with quartz movement made in Japan, and is declared waterproof (30M) to water splashes, so it is not obligatory to take it off when you wash your hands ... in any case, because the wood absorbs water I would avoid all contact;)In my opinion this is a really nice watch large, rugged, sophisticated, but, above all, made with top quality materials ... that is without a doubt the price paid (£79.00 at the time of writing, with free shipping), so I can only recommend its purchase to themselves or to make a very original gift that will certainly make a great impression.The clock also is sent, accompanied by certificate of one-year warranty, in a beautiful recycled cardboard box, lay down on a soft pillow brown suede, inside of an equally original packaging reminiscent of a strain, of course also in wood, which fits perfectly with the style and philosophy of the brand, and that may possibly be used as a small vase for flowers.* The watch was sent to me free of charge by the seller in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion.

Splendido orologio originale e di qualità e servizio clienti anche meglio
Ho preso questo orologio come regalo di anniversario per mio marito, che è designer. Dire che ne è rimasto a dir poco entusiasta è dire poco.Nello specifico l'orologio è bellissimo, anche se bisogna intervenire per accorciare il cinturino (comprensibile), la lavorazione del cinturino è scavata e particolare e tutto è preciso in modo maniacale: a chiudere la cassa dietro ci sono 4 vitine che quasi non vedi, se non fosse che il legno è così scuro da farle risaltare.Legno pregiatissimo, l'ebano, che sta diventando raro e che qualcuno abbia avuto l'idea di usare gli scarti dei tagli per i mobili per creare questi gioiellini è un'idea fantastica, decisamente ecofriendly.Leggerissimo, quasi non ci si accorge di indossarlo, elegante e discreto, si abbina perfettamente anche a un abbigliamento più sportivo. Insomma, sta davvero bene con tutto e il meccanismo, a distanza di qualche giorno, sembra essere preciso e regolare, cosa che non sempre è così scontata negli orologi.si vedono in giro molti orologi in legno, ultimamente, anche a prezzo decisamente minore di questo, ma la qualità, ve lo assicuro, è altrettanto inferiore se non addirittura scadente in confronto ai prodotti MATOA.Devo aggiungere anche una nota: non ho dato 5 stelline - che però se le meriterebbe - perché il primo esemplare è giunto con il vetro che si muoveva. Questo non garantiva una giusta protezione, anche solo dall'umidità, ai meccanismi interni. Contattato il venditore, questi gentilmente ci invita a fare il reso per rimborso e a comprarne, se volevamo, un altro esemplare. L'ipotesi era che fosse un caso di difetto di fabbricazione, e così abbiamo fatto. Salvo scoprire che anche il secondo Alor aveva lo stesso problema. E' stato imbarazzante rimandare indietro anche il secondo, ma gratificante la professionalità e la gentilezza del venditore: avevano riscontrato - grazie alla mia segnalazione - che il difetto era presente su un'intera partita e che avrebbero provveduto a ritirare tutti gli esemplari dai magazzini di Amazon per verificarli e come segno di stima e ringraziamento mi hanno offerto gratuitamente un qualsiasi altro modello a nostra scelta.Non fatevi spaventare quindi dal mio racconto, voleva solo esprimere la mia ammirazione nel trovare un venditore così sollecito e attento, professionale e puntuale. Inoltre, Matoa Europe si è già attivata a sistemare il problema e, in ogni caso, non dovete far altro che contattarli: avrete una risposta a dir poco immediata, seria, cortese e professionale come pochi altri venditori.Grazie per aver letto sin qui e grazie se vorrete lasciarmi un voticino di utilità, magari un SI. ^_^

venditore cortese
Bello e simpatica la confezione che conteneva anche un piccolo bulbo di un fiore da piantare magari nel tronchetto scavato,arrivato il giorno stabilito ed il venditore molto cortesemente mi ha spedito gratuitamente delle maglie aggiuntive x il cinturino perché era un po corto

Peu fréquent et élégant.
Cette montre Matoa Alor est vraiment belle, en bois d'ébène, très élégante et rare, il pourrait être un cadeau très original.L'emballage est une petite prise en bois, ceci est où la montre sur un palier, revêtement plastique (ne pas endommager la montre pendant le transport.) De plus, il y a aussi un petit livret avec des instructions pour régler l'heure et de supprimer le maillage d'horloge.Il est également une petite boîte où il est marqué le jour, le péché, cependant, l'absence d'indicateurs ou de petits nombres dans le cadran.Très léger, seulement 100 grammes, ne se sent pas du tout sur le poignet, les détails sont bien pris en charge, aussi le M présent sur la sangle.La montre est pas complètement étanche, ne garantit que la protection contre les gouttes d'eau, et non pas à une immersion totale de la montre dans l'eau.Dans mon cas, je devais retirer trois mailles, parce que la montre était un peu grand, tout était très simple et rapide, grâce au manuel, qui est très simple et intuitive.Il convient de noter également l'initiative Eco-friendly Matoa, qui sont utilisés dans les résidus de bois d'ébène.Un produit qui me satisfait à 100%.J'ai reçu ce produit, avec un code de coupon, en échange d'un examen impartial et honnête.

Orologio valido ma con qualche difetto
L'orologio di legno secondo me è davvero bellissimo esteticamente e ultra comodo! Tuttavia ho avuto un po' di difficoltà inizialmente a regolare l'ora e di tanto in tanto i chiodini che ci sono nel cinturino sporgono. In ogni caso lo sconsiglierei per il polso di uomini dato che è dalle forme più femminile. Buona consegna!

Servicio post-venta impecable!
Estoy muy contento con la compra que hice y el servicio post venta de la misma. Tuve que acudir a la garantía por qué el reloj se partió por defecto de la madera. El vendedor no puso ningún problema y el reloj ha sido sustituido por otro nuevo. Diseño y ejecución fantásticas.
