Trade your old watch at TiCTAC to support dog & cat rescue!

You may be pondering what to do with a wristwatch that used to hold special memories, but now has lost its appeal or functionality. While it’s tempting to hold onto it for sentiment’s sake, you know you can’t keep it indefinitely.

Recognizing this conundrum, TiCTAC, a wristwatch retailer with stores nationwide, has launched an innovative campaign. Your old wristwatches can now serve a noble cause: supporting rescued dogs and cats. From June 5 to July 9, they’ll accept your unwanted wristwatches, offering in return a coupon granting you 10% off your next wristwatch purchase.

TiCTAC has a history of giving back. Since 2009, they’ve been running trade-in campaigns like this, channeling their efforts towards various causes such as global vaccination programs for children, environmental conservation, and local medical assistance initiatives.

The wristwatches collected during this campaign won’t go to waste. They’ll be resold, or their parts reused through the “Treasure Aid®️” donation program. The proceeds from these trade-ins will go entirely to the “General Incorporated Association for Promoting Animal Coexistence,” covering expenses such as food and vaccinations for ownerless cats and dogs and supporting animal rescue, adoption, and foster initiatives.

The General Incorporated Association for Promoting Animal Coexistence is an organization founded by a team of pet care experts, including veterinarians, animal nurses, and trainers. Through their diverse activities, which encompass animal rescue and adoption, supporting animal welfare groups, organizing interactions between children and animals, and establishing volunteer networks, they strive to foster a harmonious coexistence between pets and people.

Even if the wristwatch you bring in is broken or not working, it’s still acceptable. You can find the shops under the campaign here. For every unneeded wristwatch you contribute, you’ll receive a 10% discount coupon for your next wristwatch purchase. It’s a win-win: your unused items can provide aid to others, and you get to enjoy a discount on your next wristwatch. Please note that the discount ticket is valid until July 31, and some items may be excluded from the discount.
