The James Lucy timepieces are a new lineup of products that will provide consumers with a way to support charitable endeavors and keep a stylish accessory on their wrist.
The various timepiece models are all designed with a unisex aesthetic to make them as widely applicable as possible, while the different straps allow for up to 108 different style combinations.
The brand behind the watches is a social enterprise that will be donating a large percentage (starting at 50%) of the profits from the accessories to international charities to keep a focus on worldwide community. The James Lucy timepieces acknowledge the need for more altruistic fashion products as consumers seek out simple ways to give back that also help them keep the latest styles in their wardrobe.
