This company is committed to sustainable, wearable timepieces and has in the past made watched using real flowers, moss, marble and wood.

On it's website the team responsible for the design says: "We began by soaking anything we could find in wine - paper, leather, plastics, beads, anything! We can't reveal too much, but the methods we use definitely involve drinking copious amounts of wine & exploring tannins and different staining techniques."

"The red colour from cabernet was relatively easy to achieve. It was the blueberry wine that required a lot of trial & error to ensure we could synthesize a highly concentrated colorant from it that turned cork a blue color instead of a bright purple."

There is no need to worry about your watch leaking wine if you get caught in the rain, the company guarantees that their watches have been tested and trialed in all conditions.
