Gold & Piñatex Petite Watch
Gold & Piñatex Petite Watch
The strap on this Votch is made from Piñatex — a material derived from pineapple leaf fibres, a by-product of the pineapple harvest that requires no additional land, pesticides, or fertilisers to produce. It sits on a 33mm brushed gold case with a Japanese GL20 movement, and it is here because Votch goes further than most vegan watch brands: PVC-free, phthalate-free, and genuinely thinking about what the next strap material should be.

There is a version of the vegan watch that simply swaps leather for plastic and calls it a day. Votch is not that. The strap on this petite watch is Piñatex — a textile made from the fibres of pineapple leaves that would otherwise go to waste after harvest. No extra farming, no additional pesticides, no fertilisers. The farmers growing the pineapples get an additional income stream from a by-product. The strap you wear is the result.
The case is 33mm, brushed gold, with a white dial, brushed gold indexes and hands, and a Japanese GL20 movement inside. It is a clean, classic watch face — the kind that works with everything and does not announce itself. The quick-release strap mechanism means you can swap it out without tools, which matters if you build a collection over time.
Piñatex is a natural material, which means it rewards a little care. Votch recommends treating the strap with a natural wax — clear dubbin works well — to keep it in good condition. Apply, leave in a warm spot for 24 hours, then buff with a soft cloth. Do that occasionally and the strap will last.

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.
