A watch made of recycled coffee cups and coffee grounds

News · Story by MaterialDistrict · 5 Jul 2023 · 1 min read

A collaboration between high end watch designer Hublot and coffee brand Nespresso resulted in a watch made of recycled Nespresso coffee cups and coffee grounds.

Called Big Bang Unico Nespresso Origin, the watch is a limited edition of 200 pieces and the first watch made of recycled Nespresso coffee grounds and capsules.

The recycled aluminium capsules are used for the case, bezel crown and pushers, while the coffee grounds are used for the straps. There are two versions, one made of rubber, the other made of fabric composed of 5% coffee grounds and 95% recycled polyester by Singtex (which you can find in our collection here).

Earlier, Nespresso also collaborated to create a bicycle of recycled cups. Read more about this here.
