50 years ago, millions of like-minded, environmentally conscious people came together and gave a voice to the emerging public consciousness about the state of our planet. What started as an event to raise awareness about air and water pollution has evolved into a global movement that has changed the way we as a society think about and take care of our planet. On April 15th, we’re celebrating the endurance and evolution of the eco-conscious movement with a Limited Edition Commemorative Earth Day watch. Inspired by the vintage pins worn at the first event, our hope is to inspire you all to remember that every day is Earth Day.
