Piñatex & Gold Watch with Black Dial
Piñatex & Gold Watch with Black Dial
The strap on this Votch Aalto watch is made from Piñatex — a material woven from pineapple leaf fibres, a by-product of the harvest that requires no additional land, pesticides, or fertilisers to produce. A 40mm brushed gold case, Japanese GL20 movement, and 3ATM water resistance complete a watch that looks considered because it genuinely is.

The Aalto range from Votch is built around a simple idea: that a well-made watch should not require animal-derived materials to look the part. This one pairs a brushed gold 40mm case with a black Piñatex strap and a clean black dial — nautical in its proportions, minimal in its details, and versatile enough to wear from a desk to a dinner table.
Piñatex is worth understanding properly. It is made from the fibres of pineapple leaves — a by-product of the pineapple harvest that would otherwise go to waste. No extra land is cultivated, no additional pesticides or fertilisers are used. The farmers growing the pineapples receive additional income from the leaf fibre supply chain. It is a genuinely circular material story, not a marketing one.
Because Piñatex is a natural material, it benefits from a little care. Votch recommends treating the strap with a natural wax — a clear dubbin works well. Apply it, leave the strap in a warm spot for 24 hours, then buff with a soft cloth. Done regularly, this keeps the texture and finish in good condition over time.

About Our Brand Votch
Votch addresses the challenge conscious shoppers face in finding genuinely stylish watches that do not rely on animal-derived materials. The brand provides a focused range of timepieces, ensuring that accessories reflect personal values without compromising aesthetic appeal.
What truly distinguishes Votch is its rigorous material standard; instead of merely substituting conventional leather, the brand utilises PVC-free and phthalate-free faux leather, incorporating recycled and renewable content. This commitment significantly lowers the environmental footprint of each strap compared to most vegan leather alternatives, extending beyond just being animal-free.
Votch views material development as an ongoing process, actively researching new materials and design directions. This approach treats ethical production as a creative challenge, highlighting a commitment to continuous improvement that sets Votch apart from brands that simply make a single material swap and cease further innovation.
