Our Process

How It Works

You provide the material. We create the watch.

Send us ashes from a loved one, sand from a meaningful place, or soil from the place you call home. Using our proprietary Emberite™ process, we permanently handcraft your material into the centerpiece of a one-of-a-kind watch dial.

Every Ovader watch begins with your story, creating a timepiece that cannot be duplicated because no two stories are ever the same.

What Is Emberite™?

Emberite™ is Ovader's proprietary process for transforming meaningful materials into one-of-a-kind watch dials. Using customer-supplied ashes, sand, or soil, we create a custom dial centerpiece that permanently preserves a tangible connection to the people, places, and roots that shaped your life. Because every material is unique, no two Emberite™ dials are ever exactly alike.

Unlike traditional memorial products, an Emberite™ dial is designed to be worn every day. Optional luminous pigments can be incorporated into select designs, allowing the Emberite™ material to softly glow in low-light conditions while maintaining its distinctive appearance during the day. The result is a truly personal timepiece that carries meaning far beyond the time it keeps.
