How to measure your wrist
Wrap a tape measure or a piece of string around your wrist, just below the bone, then read the measurement in centimetres.
Delivered ready to give
Every bracelet ships in a natural kraft box tied with string, with no plastic.
The summits
Seven outlines to choose from, engraved as they are on the wooden bead. These are the very lines the laser follows.
Pic du Midi d'Ossau
Mont Blanc
Mount Fuji
K2
Everest
Matterhorn
Aconcagua
Best for
- An identifiable summit, not a generic mountain: the Matterhorn is known by its outline, without having to write it.
- The gift for after the climb: it marks a route actually done, not an intention.
- Two bracelets with the same summit make a rope party: it is the only motif in the range that is shared rather than duplicated.
Good to know before ordering
- Seven summits only, and no custom outline: your local mountain is probably not among them.
- Neither the name nor the altitude is engraved with the outline: it is the profile alone, to be recognised.
Wearing and care
The seven profiles are Mont Blanc, the Matterhorn, Everest, Mount Fuji, K2, Aconcagua and the Pic du Midi d’Ossau. The Matterhorn and Fuji are the most recognisable from a distance, by their shape; K2 and Aconcagua ask that you know the mountain.
For a rope party or a group who did the same route, two or three bracelets with the same outline read as a shared memory. Each person picks their own cord colour: the engraving makes the link, not the shade.

Frequently asked questions
What occasions is this bracelet given for?
Most often after a successful climb, to mark a route actually done. Also for a birthday, Father’s Day or a hiker’s Christmas, and sometimes before a trek, as something to take along.
Which summits are available?
Seven: Mont Blanc, the Matterhorn, Everest, Mount Fuji, K2, Aconcagua and the Pic du Midi d’Ossau. Each is engraved as an outline, recognisable by its profile.
Can I ask for a summit that is not on the list?
No: the seven outlines are drawn in advance and calibrated for engraving. To mark a mountain that is not among them, the GPS coordinates bracelet engraves the exact point of the summit, in latitude and longitude.
Is the name or the altitude of the summit engraved with the outline?
No, the outline is engraved on its own, centred on the bead. That is what keeps the bracelet discreet: anyone who knows the mountain recognises it, everyone else sees a ridge line.
How do you tell one summit from another on the engraving?
By its shape. The Matterhorn has a very marked lopsided pyramid, Fuji an almost perfect cone, Mont Blanc a rounded dome. K2 and Aconcagua are closer to one another: they are meant for someone who knows the mountain.
Can two bracelets be given with the same summit, for a rope party?
Yes, and it is a common use: two or three bracelets engraved with the same profile, each in its own size and colour. The identical outline makes the shared memory, the colour tells the wearers apart.
How do I choose my size?
Measure your wrist with a soft tape or a piece of string, just below the bone. Size 1 covers 15 to 18 cm, size 2 covers 18 to 21 cm, size 3 covers 21 to 24 cm; two children’s sizes, 11 to 16 cm, are available on some models. Each bracelet is then adjusted by pulling on the cords: the size gives a comfort range, not a fixed measurement.
Is the bracelet water-resistant?
The braided marine cord handles water without trouble. Cherry wood is a living material: avoid long baths, swimming pools and saunas, and dry it if it gets caught in the rain. It develops a patina over time, which is normal.
How do I care for the wood?
A drop of jojoba oil, or any neutral vegetable oil, on a soft cloth whenever the wood looks dry or dull: it feeds the wood and revives its colour. Nothing else is needed.
How long does it take to make and ship?
Every bracelet is engraved to order in our workshop in Aveyron, France, then shipped within 48 h, to your door or to a pickup point. Shipping costs are calculated at checkout.
Does it arrive ready to give?
Yes. It ships in a natural kraft box tied with string, with no plastic: it can be given as it is, with no extra wrapping.
Is it suitable for men and women?
Yes, it is unisex. Sizes 1 to 3 cover wrists from 15 to 24 cm, and two children’s sizes, 11 to 16 cm, are available on some models.
Can I give it without knowing their wrist size?
Yes. Each bracelet adjusts along the whole range of its size thanks to the sliding knots, and size 2 (18 to 21 cm) fits most adult wrists. If in doubt, quietly measure a watch or a bracelet they already wear.
How far ahead should I order for a specific date?
Allow 48 h for engraving, then two to three days in transit and two days more for the crossing from France. For a fixed date — a birthday, Valentine’s Day, Father’s Day, Christmas — order ten days ahead to be safe.

Full description
The mountain he climbed, or the one he keeps putting off
The profile of a summit, engraved alone and unlabelled: Mont Blanc, the Matterhorn, Everest, Fuji, K2, Aconcagua or the Pic du Midi d’Ossau. Anyone who knows the mountain recognises its shape; everyone else sees a ridge line.
You give it after a climb, or before the one he has been talking about for twenty years. For a rope team, two or three bracelets with the same profile make a shared memory, each in its own cord colour.
Outline laser-engraved on cherry wood, 4 mm marine cord. Handmade in Aveyron, France.
