“It’s not just a timepiece. It’s a piece of time.”
Summer is the best time of the year. The beach, the BBQs, the long days, warm nights, and holiday weekends…unfortunately, it’s always over way too soon. And we don’t know about you, but for us, most summer days were spent with great friends and a cold beer or a tropical drink in hand.
To commemorate all of the great times (and drinks) that summer brings, the watch-making geniuses at Original Grain created a line of timepieces that evoke the spirit of summer all year long. No matter what you spent your summer sipping on, Original Grain has a perfect timepiece for you.
With over 20,000 5-star reviews and counting, they guarantee that no two watches are the same and that you’ll love whichever unique piece you chose.
The Watches That Took the World By Storm
Brothers Andrew and Ryan Beltran have been honing their craft since 2013 when they launched Original Grain on Kickstarter. Their meticulously hand-crafted timepieces were an instant success, becoming the third most-funded campaign on the platform at the time. Original Grain has been featured by the likes of GQ, Maxim, and Business Insider, and critics all over the world can’t get enough of their watches.
Here at The Suite, we certainly can’t get enough of these beverage-based beauties:
The Agave Collection: Made From Jalisco Tequila Barrels
The Paloma, the Tequila Sunrise, and of course, the Margarita—tequila just mixes well with summertime. Thus, it’s no surprise that Original Grain has partnered up with authentic tequila distillers in Jalisco, Mexico to create this special collection of watches made from repurposed tequila barrels.
The patterned swirls separate these watches from the herd, ensuring no two are exactly alike. Finished with an agave gold face, the Tequila Barrel watch combines the raw ruggedness of Jalisco distilling, with a modern, sleek metal casing. This watch is truly a celebration of the meticulous process behind both watchmaking and tequila making.
“Love this watch! It truly looks even better in my hands than on the website.”
The Brewmaster Collection: Made From Beer Barrels
The beach beer, the BBQ beer, the boat beer, or the simple backyard beer. Maybe you have a favorite beer or maybe you like them all, but it’s clear that summer provides plenty of great times to crack a cold one (or three)…and Original Grain’s Brewmaster collection is the perfect way to celebrate all of the summer beers you enjoyed.
This one is a must-have for those who prefer a subtle watch with a dark palette. The Brewmaster Chrono gets its name from finely aged German Oak beer barrel wood, which along with stainless steel, makes up the links for this watch. Housed in scratch-resistant sapphire crystal glass, this piece is perfect for anyone who seeks a fashion accessory with a highly functional form.
“I’m 50 yrs old. The brewmaster is the most beautiful watch I’ve ever owned.”
The Whiskey Collection: Made From American Whiskey Barrels
As American as the 4th of July, Original Grain’s bestselling collection is expertly-crafted from reclaimed Kentucky Bourbon barrels. Whiskey is the perfect way to end a summer day around the campfire. And these watches are the perfect way to commemorate a summer filled with the simple pleasures in life.
Just like an old-fashioned never goes out of style, the Whiskey Espresso Barrel is the quintessential everyday watch you’ll never want to take off. We know more than a few people who’ll be counting down the minutes ’til happy hour on this one.
“It feels like every time I wear the Whiskey Barrel someone asks me about it. It makes it easy to have a conversation when I say it’s reclaimed from Kentucky Bourbon barrels. Great quality, unique design & solid weight.”
Pro Tip: These pair excellently with the whiskey barrel black sunglasses.
The Grill Master’s Favorite: For the Non-Drinkers
We know that not everyone is an adult-beverage enthusiast but even non-drinkers can appreciate a simple summer evening with friends gathered anywhere with a grill. And even though this watch isn’t technically part of the summer sippin’ sale, we couldn’t help giving the Mesquite Grill Master Chrono a sizzling hot shout-out!
Mesquite is the type of wood most commonly used for smoking meats to perfection, so it’s no surprise that this unique watch marries together mesquite wood and steel. It even features steel “grill marks” on the dial! The perfect choice for the backyard BBQ pro, it almost guarantees that the steaks will be off the grill at the right time, every time.
