Materials

We are constantly striving to improve the materials that we work with.

The first edition watches have:

- Cases made from 80% recycled steel (equivalent to 316L surgical grade stainless steel)

- Straps made from #tide recycled ocean plastic

- Pouch made with offcuts from clothes manufacture.

- Recycled card boxes.

You won't get a big, flashy watch box like you would with some big brands. These just take up space, which means extra transport, which means extra emissions, and they just aren't necessary.

From GQ's "Best British Watch Brands"

"Making trash desirable. Yes, this British microbrand really means it with eco-friendly materials, minimal packaging made of recycled (and recyclable) cardboard, and a commitment from founder Guy Blaskey to give 1% of the brand’s annual revenue to planetary causes. The Gotham’s Vigilante model [like all models] is made of 80% recycled steel on an ocean-plastic strap, a fitting tribute to the superhero."

  • Have fun. Do Good.

    This is a mantra for life and for watches. The watches are obviously good, and they do good. They're fun to design and designed to have fun wearing.

  • Make Trash Desirable

    We're all great at recycling now, but if we don't start making products and valuing "from recycled" what's the point? We want to 'Make Trash Desirable' so more gets recycled and we help save the planet's resources.

  • Developed in Dorset

    Detrash is Developed in Dorset, one of the most beautiful parts of the UK, surrounded by the sea and by nature. It inspires us to do right by the planet.

Likemania

Loved the company ethos when I came across this, watch was delivered quickly, and the customer service has been fantastic. The watch itself is great, very happy with my choice and I can’t recommend a Detrash watch highly enough

Lovely quality watch

Very happy with my watch, lovely quality and impressed with the concept of recycled sea waste. I really hope the company goes from strength to strength and increases the ratio of its recycled elements of its products. Keep up the good work.

Really excellent quality! The weight is fantastic, and there is a real quality feel. The attention to detail and build quality is very very good and in some aspects beats watches that I own that retail at a far greater price. There is a real premium feel to the whole watch. The additional factors of being sourced from reused materials and being limited to a certain number of pieces just makes it even better.
A job well done!

Well made and finished timepiece

Watches can range from a pennies to fortunes, sometimes because of assumed value, other times due to the workmanship. I feel my detrash watch is good value for money, has a nice design and feel, especially considering the price. I will probably look to add another piece at some point.
