Forest Hare

Among Morris & Co.'s celebrated designs is the graceful hare motif, a symbol of the enduring pull of the natural world. The Forest Hare watches carry it onto the dial, where August Berg's minimal Danish design meets Morris & Co.'s artistry.

They are made for pausing, noticing and living timefully: a little piece of the forest to wear every day.

August Berg x Morris & Co.

An exclusive collaboration between a Danish watch brand and Morris & Co., the British Arts & Crafts house built on William Morris's designs. Morris & Co.'s studio worked with August Berg to pick out the most recognisable parts of its archive prints, such as the cheeky thrush of Strawberry Thief or the bold symmetry of Pimpernel, and rescale them for a watch dial.

Morris believed in having nothing at home that isn't useful or beautiful. The collaboration brings that idea to the wrist, and it fits August Berg's own philosophy of timefulness: design made to last.

The Gift of Time

Every August Berg watch is built around timefulness: appreciating the time we have and choosing how to spend it. Cases are surgical-grade stainless steel, dials sit under anti-reflective, scratch-resistant glass, and each watch runs on a Japanese quartz movement. It arrives in a reusable, FSC-certified bamboo box, and delivery is carbon neutral.

For every watch sold, August Berg gives a child 6 months of quality education through the Human Practice Foundation, a Danish non-profit, and with every 20,000 watches sold, builds a school.

  • Beautiful time piece

    I was really pleased with the quality of this watch when it arrived. I had held my breath hoping the photos online were true to the actual product quality, turns out they were, and I was pleasantly surprised that the real-life watch was far superior than I had expected. I'm thrilled by the little details such as the small design stamps on the band and back of the watch which denote that this piece and its parts are original August Berg and not outsourced, the solid sapphire glass, and the clever wrist strap removal levers. Its just very, very well done in general.
