Regarded by Aristotle as the first philosopher in the Greek tradition and founder of the school of natural philosophy; recognized by others as the first individual in western civilization to engage in scientific philosophy; Thales of Miletus boldly broke away from the use of mythology to explain our world and the universe by choosing to explain heavenly and earthly phenomena with an investigative approach. This man caused not only the beginning of Greek astronomy, but also initiated the first phase of western enlightenment.

Thales also had many practical achievements: he developed a method for measuring the height of pyramids and the distance of ships at sea using geometric principles, and he even earned a fortune by using his astronomical theories to predict a bountiful olive crop and bought up all the olive presses in the area.

This watch with a case and band made of koa wood and a dial made of jasper is dedicated to this bold and pioneering thinker.

PACKAGE CONTENTS

How do I adjust my watch to the perfect size?

With so many different designs, there’s definitely the perfect model for every wrist size. Our watches with linked bracelets can be easily adjusted to any preferred length.

Additional bracelet links and the necessary tools are enclosed free of charge so that you can immediately adjust your model to your individual wrist size and wear it.

The leather watch straps and vegan alternative straps in our product range come in industry-standard sizes. For particularly short or long watch straps, you’re sure to find what you need at your trusted specialised watch or jewellery dealer.

What is delivered in the package contents?

Every single Holzkern product is delivered in a high-quality solid wooden box in which your piece of nature can be safely stored. The wooden box is lined with cork, which optimally protects your model during transport or storage.

The cork that comes with our watches and Bandlets is reversible and inscribed on both sides respectively with the sentence in German - “So einzigartig wie du”, as well as English - “As unique as you”.

For all models with linked bracelets, we additionally send the matching extension links including tools free of charge. In this way, you can individually adjust your personal piece of nature and immediately start wearing it. :)

How does an automatic watch work?

Your automatic watch works somewhat differently to a watch with Quartz movement. Because you’ve chosen a watch with mechanical movement, there is in this case no inbuilt battery and you’ll have to first give your model a little help to get it up and running.

Before you wind it up, make sure that the crown is in the normal position, which means fully pressed against the case. In order to get your watch operating, turn the crown 40 times in a clockwise direction and your watch will run for approximately 42 hours. If you wear your watch within this time, the running time is extended because the clockwork will be automatically wound up via the motion of your body.

In case your model has a variety of functions, like e.g. a date display or a dual time display, get to know these functions in advance in order to maximise the full potential of your watch.
