3 Sustainable Menswear and Complements Brands You Should Know

Why to Buy: Berlin-based independent brand Kaffeeform co-created with watch company Lilienthal Berlin the first watch in the world with a case made from its bio-based material using recycled coffee grounds and other renewable, plant-based resources.

A homage to the power of simplicity, the Coffee Watch collection has a “back to basics” style with a minimalist palette offset by the bold yet subtle uniqueness of its case. The irregular “silky smooth” Kaffeeform coffee material is wrapped around a steel core to produce a 42.5mm case with lugs hidden on the reverse. The symmetrical crownless design features a quick corrector on the caseback to adjust the Ronda R756 movement inside.

What we love: The COFFEE WATCH is available in five variations on a selection of interchangeable cellulose-based vegan leather straps via Kaffeeform.With the COFFEE WATCH on your wrist, you’re reminded to make time for what matters, to be present in the moment, and to fully enjoy the small rituals of everyday life. 

Since 2015, Kaffeeform believes that there’s power in acting responsibly and gives resources destined for the trash a second life by transforming them into beautiful, high-quality, durable everyday objects – an invitation to live and consume in a more conscious way.
