The Fissure 8 Koa Wood watch was inspired by Pele's awesome display of power in the recent eruption on the Big Island.  There's a great polarity between the complete devastation fissure 8 unleashed and the beauty and power of land being created before your eyes.  The first hand experience is not something you can easily wrap your mind around nor soon forget.  It's a visceral experience.

ISLAND INSPIRED DESIGN

Inspired by Pele's awesome spectacle, the Fissure 8 Automatic draws the inspiration of its shape from the crater created around the eruption. A raised lip and eased slope into the cauldron (watch face) are inspired from my drawings watching the fissure 8 eruption. The watch face stylistically represents the relationship between the land, ocean and lava flow...the cycle of life and creation in Hawaii.

A BIT MORE ON THE DESIGN...

When watching the eruption in Hawaii, you get the feeling you're peeking into the interworking of the universe...or at least our corner of it. The sprouting of land from the ocean, the greening of the lava flows over centuries, the drama and force of the eruption, all reinforce the interplay between the elements. The abalone, koa wood and lava colored minute hands symbolically bring together the elements.

For me, the design is a reminder of how quickly our time passes by comparison...giddy up, get after it, and get to the fun stuff before time runs out.

DID WE MENTION THE WOOD?

Koa only grows in the Hawaiian islands and we use only the most rare and beautiful "curly" grained Koa. It gives an iridescence and movement to the wood. We hand finish all the wood in our small shop in Honolulu which ensures the face becomes the crowning jewel. Read the full Hawaiian Koa Wood Story →

FOCUS.....THIS IS IMPORTANT

Sizing...The Fissure 8 Auto has a 45mm case. This fits most everyone's wrists without looking too big. It's round shape and easy lines reduce the appearance of bulk further.

Fissure 8 Auto Review

This is truly a masterpiece watch. I just love how the abalone just shines in contrast to the koa background....a feat that Pono Works can only achieve with such beauty. This will be a keeper for decades to come!!! Thank you again Pono Works!!!!!

Great color combo

On our recent trip to Hawaii, my wife and I saw the Fissure 8 watch at a resort jewelry store. Went back a couple days later to buy the watch but it was sold. I ended up ordering directly from Pono Woodworks as I could not find the color combo I wanted, the Blue/Gray watch band. The band color really matches the gunmetal watch.
Brett was able to put the watch together and send it to our place in Hawaii within a day. Absolutely love the stunning blue of the face along with the Koa wood color and pattern.
Have received many compliments on the watch since returning from vacation.

Great Hawaiian Watch

I bought one watch for myself and 3 others as gifts. I'm tired of so many watches that look alike, these set a distinctive style. The use of wood in a watch can be problematic as you worry about how it will hold up, but these look to have been well sourced and should have good longevity. The abalone is gorgeously blue. On top of all that, Brent, the owner made the whole transaction simple, delivering the watches to my hotel.

Even if you don't plan on visiting Hawaii you should consider these beautiful, unique watches.

3rd Pono timepiece

This is my 3rd Pono watch, as the first two are also beautiful pieces. The abalone shines when the lights hits it.

The band keeps popping loose. A regular rubber divers band would be nice.

Best Customer Service

Pono Woodworks has the best customer service I’ve ever experienced. They emailed back and forth with me for weeks just to make sure I got exactly what I wanted. And when I finally received the watch, it was better than I thought. Thanks for all the amazing service!!
