Grove makes many unusual and sexy things out of wood.
I'm also hooked on their case. It comes in sizes for iPad Mini, iPad Air, and the new thin Macbook. (Though surely many other brand's products will fit in one of them.) This may be the most stylish case I've seen so far.
Update: I got it myself now, and I've gotta say I'm slightly disappointed. Naîvely I thought it would be this mavellous hardwood construction made possible only by modern lasercutting technology, but instead it feels more like felt covered with wood veneer. I expected it to sound like wood when you knocked on it, but it's too soft for that. It is possible it's the only way it could be done within a certain price/weight limit, but still, sigh.

I think you mean Washington's wooden teeth? But perhaps I am missing something?
Ah yes, thanks. Being foreign doesn't help your basic folklore knowledge.
If you really did want a nice wood watch, I would suggest a used Tissot Wood Watch. I owned one for a while. It was very well made, and much more elegant than the Grove. Lots of pictures available with Google Image Search
Are you familiar with Ochs und Junior? Their watches are what the Grove aspires to be. I would wear one of their moon phase watches all the time - if somebody else bought one for me.

I am not so keen on the Tissot watches, for some reason. Seem to have no texture, which is like removing the wetness from water.
But some of the Ochs and Junior watches are very nice, must be said.
Eo, are you aware of these? I have only seen the pictures but (some of them)look good to me. http://tensewatch.com/
Those look very promising, thanks, Mark.
