Soak Up The Sun (With Your Q&Q Watch)

By Stefan Doyno Published April 11, 2014

It’s almost that time – everyone’s favorite holiday. Earth Day (April 22nd you guys – jeeze) – and we know the perfect way to celebrate- by purchasing a watch.

Q&Q (Quest for Quality) SmileSolar watches are an insane collection of waterproof watches in rubber or canvas – that are maintenance free – and get this, battery-free. Yup, these guys are perfect for Earth Day because they’re solar-powered. All you need is some fun in the sun and you’re good to go. The watch’s solar-powered system will continue operating for up to 3.5 months – and that’s after one single charge. The collection also incorporates new and recycled materials. Did we mention the bold selection of colors available? You can go solid white, solid black and everything in between.

The Japanese brand was created in 1976 and has arrived to America (finally) with the SmileSolar collection. There are 15 styles to choose from (the color-block versions are our favorite) in a perfect selection of styles for summer. You’re going to want each and every one of them, and for $40 dollars, why not? Easy, eco-friendly and great looking.

As if you needed any more motivation, with every purchase of a Q&Q’s solar watch, the brand will donate a portion of the proceeds to Table for Two – a non-profit company that delivers healthy school lunches to children in need.

So this Earth Day, buy yourself a watch, and go a little green. Or blue. Or red. Or black.

Volition America, Luminox partner for a limited edition watch with a great cause

Help the families of our fallen with Luminox and Volition America

Some people just have it built within their DNA to do more. There are those that go to the finish line, then there are those who don't see a finish line. Those people that look at the horizon as a checkpoint, not a destination. Those people tend to change the world. Volition America is a brand focused on doing more. They have reached a dozen checkpoints since they began in 2007, but as the world seems to get more and more volatile, they continue to keep their eye on the future and the mission they set out to accomplish. They have worked with the Folds of Honor Foundation and donated 13% of all profits to help the families of our country's bravest people: Those that have fallen in service to us. Now, despite all they have done, they have their eyes on a new horizon, with another partner with a history of helping our service members, Luminox.
You buy a future

Luminox has been the watch of the Navy SEALS for three decades, adorning the wrists of the tip of the spear. Now, they are making a limited edition Patriot 13 in partnership with Volition America. With the Volition America logo at the six spot and the number 13 at the one as the sole digit (representing the 13 folds of a flag presented at a fallen soldier's funeral), it is truly a unique piece of military and service honor. The cost for this watch is $5K. But that isn't any $5K; that is a donation to the Folds of Honor Foundation. 100% goes to the service members' families. This scholarship is to add to the $220 million Volition has already donated.

Embrace your inner Frank Sinatra with this limited edition Bulova watch

You will love the way you look tonight if you snag this Frank Sinatra-inspired Bulova watch

The Chairman of the Board watch.

Watch collectors are about to get the chance to sing their praises for a watch with a musical background. A partnership between Bulova and Frank Sinatra started in the 1950s, and collectors are as obsessed with it today as in the swing era. If the soothing voice of Ol' Blue Eyes still takes you back to a simpler time, you might want to set your sights on a wristwatch that will do the same. While you may never sell 150 million records yourself, this limited edition, a once-in-a-blue-moon chance to own a Frank Sinatra-coded Bulova watch and feel like an honorary member of the Rat Pack, is here.
Bulova and Frank Sinatra

Bulova exudes charisma in each art deco-inspired watch it creates, and this vintage 1930s throwback piece pays homage to the relationship between the watch brand and Frank Sinatra. Sinatra cherished the brand from the start, wearing Bulova watches throughout his career. Some celebrities go where the paid endorsement takes them, but Sinatra was loyal to Bulova, and the partnership still produces gorgeous pieces.

Merci, Hodinkee team up for limited edition dress watch with Parisian flair

Hodinkee, Merci partner for Beaumarchais H02 collab

Merci Instruments Beaumarchais H02 Limited Edition for Hodinkee

Mention the name "Hodinkee" and even a watch novice will nod their head in acknowledgment as it's a well-known power player in the timepiece community. They recently collaborated for the second time with Parisian brand Merci, located in the Marais district, and they offer a range of curated items like clothing and home decor. The result is the Merci Instruments Beaumarchais H02 Limited Edition for Hodinkee. If you've ever scrolled through Paris street fashion on TikTok or picked up vintage jeans from a secondhand store just to get the Parisian streetwear vibe, then this new collaboration will feel like an answer to your every sartorial prayer.
Hodinkee has teamed up with Merci for the Beaumarchais H02

Merci Instruments is a subsidiary of Merci, and they bring a laissez-faire yet high-end flare to watchmaking, blending like peanut butter and jelly (or Switzerland and Rolex?) with Hodinkee. Their first collaboration, the LMMH01, debuted in 2020 and featured simplistic colors and a minimalist style. The new Merci Instruments Beaumarchais H02 Limited Edition for Hodinkee has a bit more to it, especially in the dial, and gives off more aviation-inspired energy.
