Our magnificent new arrival is here - we've just released something unprecedented! Introducing the wooden chronograph, the men's wristwatch "Harju". Our customers have long been wishing for a slightly larger men's watch that fits even larger wrists. To meet this need, we present the stylish "Harju", featuring a strikingly dark, treated dial, measuring 44 millimeters.

As dedicated watch enthusiasts and entrepreneurs, we wanted to create something new and stylish that hadn't been done before. The design process for "Harju" began in early 2021 when we decided to be the first to introduce a chronograph made from Finnish wood to the market. Now, we can proudly announce that the design of this unparalleled wooden chronograph comes from Oulu, guaranteed as HAVU design. Trees and forests are an integral part of Finnish identity and our soulful landscape - we want to remind ourselves of our roots. Each birchwood "Harju" is a part of our beautiful green homeland.

 

What is a chronograph? A chronograph refers to a watch with a separate timing function. Classic chronograph watches are highly sought after by many watch enthusiasts, but the style is now very popular among all watch users worldwide. The dial of the Harju features separate smaller dials for timing, allowing you to see elapsed minutes and seconds, as well as an unprecedented positioning of the date display.


A combination of high-quality Finnish materials, Oulu design, and Japanese watchmaking know-how

 

Birch is both pleasant and visually appealing, making it an excellent and durable material for the wooden components of a watch. The Harju is equipped with a precise Japanese Hattori Cal. VD53 movement, which also includes useful timing functions. We wanted to provide extensive chronograph features in the large-sized Harju without compromising on comfort - the wooden case back of the watch doesn't cause sweating in the heat or feel cold in the winter.

The dial is protected by scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, and the stainless steel case beneath the wooden components makes it waterproof. Therefore, the Harju is an excellent choice for outdoor activities. We strongly believe that a wooden wristwatch is the best choice for hiking, as it doesn't beep with notifications in the silence of nature.

An attractive men's watch for even larger wrists

 

The Harju watch elevates every outfit in your wardrobe - whether you're spending your summer vacation at the cottage in a t-shirt, attending your friend's wedding in a suit, or dressing in business casual at the office.

Instead of blending in, we aim to stand out. The Harju is a prime example of an undeniably stunning and unique creation, representing precisely what we do - style and attitude. This premium wooden chronograph is sure to turn heads wherever you go!
