Luxury in life always feels good, but it should not be attained at the cost of affecting the beautiful world in which we are living. The fashion industry itself is the second highest producer of carbon emissions into the atmosphere, with their manufacturing being the top contributor. Even these carbon emissions are a matter of concern for the watch-making industries as well.  Such rigorous emissions affect the oceans' pH levels and lead to rising temperatures of the Earth, which can pose a serious climate disaster in the future. Climate change is the need of the hour. So it is important to change our current approach just by switching to nature-friendly options. 

Going green can change the entire scene! Because of which many brands are trying out different ways to cut down their emission levels. Like the luxury watch-making brands such as Hublot and Tag Heuer, are thinking of going green by deploying solar panels on their roofs for clean energy production. Many brands worldwide are coming up with such innovative techniques to begin their journey towards sustainability.

Here is the list of 5 luxury watch brands working towards climate change by opting for various innovative sustainable techniques.

  • Panerai

Panerai, an Italian luxury watch-making brand that was founded in Florence, Italy, in 1860. This brand recently started promoting the idea of using recycled materials for their production.

  • Ulysse Nardin
