Hurtig Lane (Vegan Wristwatches from Barcelona)

Hurtig Lane is a brand of quality vegan watches, created in the beautiful Spanish city of Barcelona. Designed to provide an alternative to leather, you can buy the entire watch, or just the straps, if you already own a watch.

The collection features many styles and designs, so you are sure to find something you like. Some are even made from cactus leather! The watches are in many styles from neutrals to pretty pinks.

You can recycle watch batteries (choking hazards) at any jewellery shop.

Send broken and unused watches (and other jewellery and bank notes from any country) in a freepost envelope to Animal Free Research UK (they send these off to a partner who recycles the metal to raise funds). Or send to War Paws, which helps animals caught up in conflict abroad.

Hurtig Lane’s mission starts with animal welfare. Every watch is made from cruelty-free materials. The straps use vegan leather alternatives, such as PU or recycled fibres, meaning no animals were harmed.
