A WATCH MADE FROM COFFEE!
We present the world's first watch made from recycled coffee. When it comes to sustainable living, the Coffee Watch is a true innovation, featuring a case made of used grounds from Berlin cafés and roasting houses, transformed into an extremely durable material through a complex upcycling process. The shapes, colors, texture, and even a subtle aroma reveal what the watch is made of – and it's completely carbon-neutral to boot. All these things make it a genuinely loving tribute to the greatest of all hot drinks!
THE PERFECT SHAPE
Made of recycled coffee grounds, the watch case is reminiscent of a coffee bean or a coffee cup, depending on how you look at it. The especially round, minimalist appearance of the watch was created using a special trick: the crown is completely recessed into the case back. The pure, straightforward design philosophy is greatly enhanced by the clean, silvery sunburst pattern of the watch face and neatly engraved hour marks.

THE Coffee Watch Latte - Leather Dark Brown IN DETAIL
INNOVATIVE MATERIAL
We get the material used for the case from various cafés and roasting houses in Berlin. The coffee grounds are collected by bicycle couriers, then transformed using an incredibly innovative upcycling process developed by our partner, Kaffeeform. Only plant-based components are used in the process; as a result, the finished material is not only durable and retains its shape, but is also completely environmentally friendly and fully recyclable.
UNIQUE PIECES MADE FROM COFFEE
Even at first glance, it's immediately apparent what the case is made of: The natural coloring and fine texture of the coffee grounds are fully preserved. As a result, each watch features a slightly different grain pattern, making every individual Coffee Watch a one-of-a-kind timepiece! And the origin of the watch is not only visible, by the way – for a while even a subtle coffee scent remains.
SUSTAINABLE LIFESTYLE
The time you take to get a cup of coffee is one of life's pleasures, but it's also a time for new energy and new ideas. The Coffee Watch is an homage to this urban café spirit, but also a testimony to how exciting and stylish sustainability can be, and that it's even possible to take something as apparently useless as coffee grounds and turn them into something of genuine value that brings together quality and sustainability. Exactly the kind of thing you might think of over a cup of coffee!
RESULT OF A LENGTHY PROCESS
The story of the Coffee Watch begins with a coffee cup made from recycled coffee grounds and produced by Kaffeeform. It didn't take long before the idea of making a watch out of them was born, but that was easier said than done. The composition of the material had to be adapted to make it durable, comfortable to wear, and resistant to scratches. After three years of development, the world's first watch made out of coffee was quickly financed on Kickstarter, and now and can be owned by anyone.
GOOD FOR THE PLANET
In terms of sustainability, the Coffee Watch is a genuinely innovative product, having taken an apparently worthless resource and transformed it into a high-quality material with added emotional value. In addition, we compensate 100% of our CO2 emissions by donating to a carbon fund. Working with ClimatePartner, we thus support projects that work towards positive global climate change.
LONG-LASTING COMFORT
Made from natural leather from Germany that has been tanned using plant extracts. We don’t use any aggressive chemicals. This makes the strap extremely comfortable, breathable and anti-allergenic. It’s also durable and of course, looks amazing. This process is sustainable and environmentally friendly. A win-win situation for your wrist! And thanks to the quick-release mechanism, the straps can be easily changed.
GAME-CHANGING QUALITY
The Coffee Watch is one of our most challenging projects yet. After all, we're dealing with a completely new material. Lucky for us, our watch is manufactured right here in Germany, and we are able to rely on the absolute skill and expertise of our partners. Thanks to the level of quality that goes with the "Made in Germany" label, our watches are guaranteed to last, which is one more factor in our commitment to sustainability.
