SWAE: The Hawaiian- History Behind The Wood. Made of Hawaiian Koa Wood With The Spirit of Aloha.

SAN DIEGO - Oct. 1, 2013 - PRLog -- Grown on the mountains of the BIG ISLAND and made from fallen trees, we are pleased to introduce THE HAWAIIAN. We created this watch with some of the island culture within it. This extremely light weight watch is made from HAWAIIAN KOA WOOD grown in HAWAII’S BIG ISLAND and features traditional Hawaiian details such as the Niho inspired tribal border that surrounds the watch. This triangular Hawaiian image takes on the appearance of shark teeth which is also a symbol of power in the islands and power we are now putting on your wrists.

The Hawaiian was created with the FULL SPIRIT OF ALOHA. Koa is endemic to the islands of Hawaii and served as a great importance to the ancient Hawaiian people who used the wood for large war canoes, paddles, weapons, surfboards and much much more. Today, because of its beauty, many people use Koa for musical instruments like the ukulele and guitars. With its big and bold design we are here to put this beauty on you to enjoy!

In modern times, KOA TREES are in great danger due to DEFORESTATION, not only that, the deforestation of this tree is affecting Hawaii's natural habitat and endangering animals who depend on KOA for its survival. The problem occurred when land was cleared due to cattle grazing, pineapple fields, sugar cane, etc...

This OCTOBER, SWAE WATCHES will begin our release of this beautiful watch. When you purchase this watch, you will help us REFOREST HAWAII’S NATIVE TREE back to the land. Not just that, you will be assisting SWAE in the REFORESTATION PROJECT we are conducting along with HAWAIIAN LEGACY to REFOREST KOA TREES in Umikoa, Hawaii, that was once owned by KING KAMEHAMEHA THE GREAT which was his personal Koa forest. When you purchase the watch, a koa  tree will be planted in your name and  you will receive a certificate with GPS COORDINATES as to where your tree is planted. With each tree planted, a scannable electronic chip is placed in the ground. The chip contains a serial number for the tree and is linked with the GPS coordinates of its location and will give you visuals of the growth status of your tree. You also get to dedicate that tree to a loved one or in memory of  someone and have access to the grounds to visit your tree at any time. With your help and purchase of the SWAE HAWAIIAN WATCH the survival of the trees planted  are guaranteed for future generations to enjoy. PURCHASE THE WATCH, PLANT A TREE, REVITALIZE OUR PLANET, THAT SIMPLE!
