Tense Watches designs high-quality, eco-conscious wooden watches. They are made from 100% recycled or reclaimed wood, and are powered by premium Rondo 6004D Swiss Movements or Japanese Miyota Watch Movements. Each watch is meticulously crafted by hand in their Vancouver, BC workshop.

Their products are designed and built around their core beliefs in quality and craftsmanship. In 1957, Ken P. Lau started his profession as a clock designer. He pioneered experimentation with natural components, such as wood and stone. In 1968, Ken moved his focus to wristwatches, and in 1971 Tense Wooden Watches was founded. Even now, Ken brings his over 50 years of experience as a crafter of timepieces to the workshop everyday.
