Serious steps, from weapon to watch.

The first target of SDG 16 calls for significant reductions in “all forms of violence and related death rates everywhere.” Humanium Metal provides a tool to tackle this challenge on an individual as well as societal level.

The success of the initiative is dependent on the number of Humanium Metal watches people own. We hope you will become one of them!
