Epic Timepieces: Providing Clean Water to Those who Desperately Need it

By on September 19, 2011

When was the last time you purchased something that just made you feel good because you knew your purchase was helping someone else too?

 “The “Epic Movement” is about changing lives.  Every time our customers check the time on their watch they know that someone’s life across the globe has been changed and potentially saved by their decision to join the Epic Movement,” says Jackie Bird owner of Epic Timepieces.

Epic Timepieces was founded by Jeff and Jackie Bird shortly after a trip the couple had made to help with disaster relief in Haiti after the 7.0 earthquake. The Birds’ were moved by what they had witnessed. They wanted to do what they could to help the Haitians that survived the earthquake that were now displaced and were dealing with a lack of food, clean water and medical aid.

Today through the sale of their watches the Birds’ are able to provide much needed resources in order to generate clean drinking water for individuals in Third World countries.

“Water is something that we take for granted, but for the people who live in Haiti it’s the difference between sickness and health, life and death. When people wear our watches they’re making an Epic Statement about what’s truly important … it’s not about the amount of money that they’re wearing on their wrist, but about the love, compassion and character within their hearts,” says Bird.

Why I love Epic Timepieces

The design of the watch is simple yet fashionable. Yes the interchange band was trend popular in the 80’s. Epic did a wonderful job breathing new life back into the trend. I’m not going to lie there are watches on the market that look similar to Epic’s but when it comes to quality and style Epic surpasses them.

I have a very small wrist and until I discovered Epic Timepieces I never wore watches because I would always have to have them altered and they never seemed comfortable. Epic watches are made with silicone and metal clasps which make the watch hypoallergenic and super comfortable.

If you have a small tattoo on your wrist that you need to cover for some reason wearing this watch is a simple solution.

A big selling point for me besides fitting my wrist and comfort is the watch is vegan. Also the purchase of this watch goes towards helping someone in need.

“Our company is not just about watches.  We’re unique in that the heart of our company is philanthropy.  In fact, the philanthropic component came before the product was even determined.  The watches, although fabulous, are just a catalyst to provide clean water to those who desperately need it,” says Bird.

Epic Timepieces is offering readers who use the codeGreenStylista free band with every watch purchase.
