How to Engrave a Wooden Watch
A wooden watch is already a unique accessory, but when it carries a personalized engraving, it becomes unforgettable. Whether it's for you or someone special, engraving adds soul and meaning.
In this post, weโll show you how to engrave a wooden watch, what to consider, and the best ideas to make it truly yours.
๐ง 1. Can wooden watches be engraved?
Yes, quality wooden watches are easy and safe to engrave, as long as the case back is made from wood or metal. Atย Emporizen, all our models are engraving-ready and offer enough space for a custom message.
๐ชต 2. Engraving options: Quartz vs. Automatic
At Emporizen, we offer two types of wooden watches: quartz (battery-powered) and automatic (self-winding). Hereโs what you can engrave on each:
-
Quartz watches:
These allow full-surface engraving on the back plate. You can include text, handwritten notes, logos, coordinates, or small graphic designs. -
Automatic watches:
Due to the transparent center showing the movement, engraving is limited to text only, placed around the edge of the back plate (circular area).
All engravings are done with high-precision laser to ensure clarity and durability.

Short and heartfelt is always best. Some ideas to inspire you:
- A special date (anniversary, birthday, achievement)
- Coordinates of a place that matters
- โTime flies, love stays.
- โOne of one.โ
- Initials + year: โA&S ยท 2025โ
