A plastic watch and still have to pay 1,000 euros for it. What is this?
A luxury timepiece of, for example, steel, bronze, gold or titanium. Yes, the prices can then understandably rise considerably. But a watch made of plastic that is also relatively expensive? That sounds a bit crazy.
Context makes everything clear. Although you can still have an opinion about the price tag of course. Tom Ford has released a special watch. The timepiece is made from one hundred percent recycled plastic. This concerns waste that comes from the ocean.
The case is 27 mm in size and the model is available in the colors white or black. For 1,000 euros you can buy a copy via the webshop of the brand. An incredible amount of plastic waste floats in the ocean. An environmental disaster that has attracted more attention in recent years.
Several companies specialize in cleaning up ocean waste for recycling. You can make anything from that recycled material. Even a watch!
In addition to one hundred percent recycled plastic, Tom Ford’s timepiece also consists of steel to have a premium look. The question, of course, is: White or black?
