Luxe of the Day: EPMartin Watches







EPMartin is a relatively new boutique watch maker based in my hometown of Portland, Oregon. The company is named after the founder's grandfather, Edward Perry Martin who was part of a bomber crew during World War II. They make a number of great looking, large-faced watches that are in the $900-$1000 range. Two of our favorite models are the Sahara which is a 44m watch whose design was inspired by Operation Torch, the first airborne assault by the US during WWII, and the Motocorsa, which G Luxe crew member Drewsky will love since it was designed for the best Ducati dealership in the US. The Sahara sells for $895 and the Motocorsa for $999. You can purchase both at EPMartinUSA.com. A portion of the proceeds go to H20 Africa, an organization dedicated to bringing clean water to Africa.
