IKKA: with watches and trees for a greener tomorrow


IKKA is a watch brand on a mission to change the world, offering stylish timepieces for city-dwelling thrill-seekers and planting trees for the future.


 

The IKKA Story


Agi and I have always wanted to do something that makes a lasting impact; to find a cause that’s worth fighting for, and to come up with something that changes our future for the better.
The world is filled with wonder and adventure everywhere we turn: from the playfulness of the clouds and the picturesque colors of the sunset, through the fragrance of the forests and the awe that hits us when we look up at the glittering night sky, to the relaxing sound of flowing water, we’re surrounded by boundless beauty.
However, looking at what’s happening around the globe today, it’s also notably clear that things are headed in the wrong direction.
In 2018  September, inspired by the overwhelming beauty of our planet and spurred by the growing number and severity of environmental issues our world is facing, we finally had our light bulb moment: how about we combine our obsession for quality mechanical watches with our love of nature?
As an engineer, Agi believes in tangible, technical solutions. On the other hand, I’ve always been a more adventurous, intuitive type of person. It was our innate differences that laid the groundwork for everything that came after. In a short while, our idea has started to take a very distinct, rounded shape, and following a year of hard work, IKKA was created.

Sylvia , IKKA co-founder
 

Our mission
 

We believe that to truly enjoy life, you have to live it one second at a time. That’s why we have created IKKA, a watch brand with a green spin, made for city-dwelling thrill-seekers who want to take back control over their most valuable asset: time.

We fashion high quality, sleek, and sophisticated timepieces that help you stay in the moment wherever you go, whatever you do. Because only by focusing on the here and now, can you really start living your life to the fullest.

What’s more, after every watch we sell, we plant a princess tree or deliver it (tree sapling delivery time: from october - till may, tree size: 4-6 inch) straight to your door, driving home our message about the significance of individual action and building a more sustainable future. This way, your watch becomes more than just a portable measurement device: it will also act as a reminder of giving nature one more tool to heal itself with, wrapped neatly around your wrist.



                               
 


About princess trees and their climatic benefits

The combined effect of climate change and greenhouse gas emissions is becoming growing threat to our ecosystems. These issues affect every country in the world, and they are partially caused by the rapid and large scale social and economic developments of the past century. The ever-expanding carbon footprint of industrial development, extremely high levels of car traffic, and power plants is no longer a match for Earth’s declining forests.

We’ve spent a lot of time searching for the right species of tree that can adapt to almost any environment, until we’ve finally stumbled upon princess trees. Popular for their ability to produce high volumes of oxygen, princess trees are also favored in landscaping as ornamental trees.

Known for their high tolerance, fire resistance, and flexibility, princess trees are rapid growers, thanks to a unique evolutionary adaptation that allows them to use C4 carbon fixation: they can put on up to 1 meter of height each year, while their nitrogen-rich leaves provide good fodder, and their roots prevent soil erosion. Requiring nothing more but full sun and regular watering for proper growth, princess trees absorb 10 times more carbon dioxide than any other tree species, releasing large quantities of oxygen into the atmosphere. This makes them a perfect choice to purify the air from pollutants and to combat the effects of industrialization.

In just a few years, they can absorb large amounts of carbon dioxide, thanks to their outstanding growth rate and huge leaves. In addition, princess trees bind dust, produce oxygen, improve degraded soil, combat desertification, and by releasing water into the atmosphere, they can also cool the air around them.

In short, princess trees are a genuinely valuable asset in our fight against climate change.




 







Our Products
 

IKKA watches artfully blend minimalist design with engineering prowess. Powered by movements made in Japan, our watches are built for adventuring, excellence, and expressing your authentic self. Accompanied by a 2-year warranty and a princess tree sapling (4-6 inch), you can wear them safe in the knowledge that you made a difference, no matter which model you pick. We have teamed up with the One Tree Planted organization who will plant a sapling after every watch sold, in case you don't want yours shipped together with your order. 

Don’t have anywhere to put your complimentary tree? Let us handle the planting, and we’ll make sure that your sapling ends up in the right place.

There’s something wrong with the product? Send it back and we’ll ship you a new one, completely free!
