"Adding value to a small piece of wood with good design"
Athough the designers motto was inspiring enough to attract my initial attention, I couldn't resist to purchase this beauty as soon as I laid my eyes upon its humble design. Lima watch, an Indonesian wrist watch brand which is made up of all the elements that get me feeling nostalgic, swiss movement with a teak frame, mineral crystal face, leather strap and a stainless steel buckle with a black PVD finish. Hello, beautiful.
I never imagined in a million years that it would be possible to sway away from my antique love, the classic Casio (which still holds a firm embrace over my heart), but it happened, yes it did. Lima love all over my wrist right now, a full action of handmade goodness. If I'm correct the watches are now available to order internationally through a website called, thegoodsdept.com which is where I ordered mine and received it after a brisk two weeks. However stay alert of those deadly import charges folks (grrrrr), and so in order to save yourself the horror, its best to calculate the approximate charges before ordering. You can do that via dutycalculator.com.
Neverthless the parcel arrived beautifully wrapped in kraft paper tied with a simple black ribbon. Although I wish I had been the ideal blogger and taken a picture of the packaging, by the time the thought crossed my mind the watch was serving it's rightful duty on my wrist. However the watch itself is presented in a minimal Lima wooden case, making it a perfect gift and also comes along with a six month warranty. Lastly, the fitting of the watch, as for those whom have dainty and somewhat feeble wrists like thyself, there is no need to be concerned as this watch has it all covered, being a unisex brand it caters for both male and female and so fits nicely. In a nutshell the combination of raw goods, handmade execution and minimalism is what makes this watch a pleasure to wear.
