Parsec’s luxury bamboo and wooden watches are built with quality materials without sacrificing the look and functionality of their performance. We use materials such as wood, bamboo, stainless steel, nylon, and leather to make up different parts of the watch. What makes Parsec unique is the beautiful construction of all our watches as they are almost entirely encased with wood or bamboo – giving it a gorgeous finish and surprisingly light weight. A parsec is a unit of distance most accurately measured with the universal constant of time in light years. The distance of a parsec is approximately 3.26 light years. This is where the inspiration for the name of our elegantly crafted wooden watches comes from – Parsec. The hands moving around the dial symbolize distance, giving watches the ability to tell time. Watches are extraordinary and, therefore, deserve an extraordinary name with a stand-out meaning.
