The Lights GMT

From CuleM -

I had to take about 20 minutes last week when writing a bio for a new product that I am launching and it surprised me to realize that I have lived in:

6 countries

9 states

and 22 different towns/cities!

So GMT watches are always of interest to me ; )

The reason for the lights name is one of those watch design "Easter eggs" that I always enjoy finding -

Major cities around the world are illuminated when the lights go down.  Ever look down on a city as you fly over at night?  It's a cool sight, whether you're fling over Omaha, Nebraska or the City of Lights itself.

Now if that wasn't cool enough, the folks behind CuleM aim to give something back -

When you buy this watch, we will

plant 100 trees,

protect 6 acres of rainforest,

assist in the clean up of our oceans

and help impoverished

women and children

around the world. 

Okay, CuleM, you have my attention!  We will be following up with some more in-depth Q&A on the watch, the people behind it, and the charitable initiatives benefiting from the Lights GMT. So stay tuned!  But for now, here are the pertinents -
