Tense is the original wood watch company. First on the market in 1971, we began by making the majority of our watches out of traditional materials like steel and leather. Prior to 1983 we only had the capabilities or confidence to supply and shape a few of the unique time pieces we are known for today. Countless testing hours in Tense manufacturing facilities were used to stabilize the expansion, contraction and durability of the various woods and shapes you would see in future Tense products.
Today we draw from our heritage to introduce the Hybrid, an amalgamation of the metals and materials from our past with the wood of our present day collection. Using our 45 years of manufacturing and design experience, we have built the first model in our luxury collection, soon to be one of our classics.
In the near future Tense will expand on its luxury Hybrid collection and continue to use the best materials available. You will see some of the traditional components we currently design with and new materials not yet used in today’s watch market.
The Hybrid Watch has a wood and metal case on a leather strap, combining natural materials into the new Tense Hybrid Model. This watch is unisex and shows hourly and second markers, as well as a calendar display on a circular face. It contains a premium Ronda 6004D Swiss Movements, scratch resistant Sapphire Crystal, and corrosion resistant Surgical Grade 316 Stainless Steel finished with PVD coating. The strap is made of genuine Italian Leather. Wood used on this series use 100% recycled wood sources.
