Bakelite Watches from Tamawa

Tamawa’s collection of Hubert Verstraeten-designed watches features their signature Bakelite beads that they include in all of their pieces. Located in Brussels, Belgium, the company creates fun and colorful jewelry, lighting, furniture, and other small objects. I happen to be obsessed with their three styles of watches. With each style, you can choose the color of the Bakelite bead and there are 8 to choose from! You also can choose between a silver and black watch face AND silver and black hands.
