Design Process

GARIBALDI Watch Co. understands that a supply chain is its own ecosystem that must be sustained and supported indefinitely in order for the world to see true environmental impact. We must design, develop and manufacture into that premise.

1

Sourcing Materials

We strive to work with factories that have sustainable supply chains and manufacturing processes.
2

Selecting Offcuts

We select high-quality fabrics from factory floors and waste piles to give them new life.
3

Laser Cutting

We take these fabrics and laser-cut them to the size of our dials. We give the rest to our strap manufacturer.
4

3-D Printing

As much as we can, we 3-D print prospective new watch designs rather than ask a factory to create samples in stainless steel at a much higher environmental cost.
5

Small Batch Production

There are only so many watches that we can make using offcut materials which adds to the exclusivity and uniqueness of each of our timepieces.
6

Monthly DROPS

We release our latest designs in monthly drops (batches) so you will need to act fast to get your desired model. Subscribe for previews and to pre-order!

Why the name “GARIBALDI”?

When deciding on a name for our brand, one of the areas of our research was the history of denim and how it has come to be a staple of people’s wardrobes.

There are various stories as to how and from where denim originated and subsequently rose to prominence but one such tale caught our eye. We drew inspiration from an Italian general from the 1800s, Giuseppe Garibaldi. One day Garibaldi faced an uphill battle where the odds were completely stacked against him. Seeing that this could have been his last battle he decided to throw tradition out the window and wear whatever he wanted, which turned out to be a pair of blue pants.

He won this battle and became a cult hero around the world, and so began the trend of wearing blue pants, which would later evolve into lighter versions of denim. We believe the name Garibaldi fits our brand perfectly as it promotes doing your own thing, starting something new, and fearless approach to life.

Sustainable design seeks to reduce negative impacts on the environment. The basic objectives of sustainability are to reduce consumption of non-renewable resources, minimize waste, and create healthy, productive environments.
