Hi!
Welcome to my campaign, I have designed the world’s first Cyrillic Slavic wristwatch.
"The Cyrillic numerals are a numeral system derived from the Cyrillic script, developed in the First Bulgarian Empire in the late tenth century. It was used by the First Bulgarian Empire and by South and East Slavic peoples."
The system was used in Russia as late as the early 18th century, when Peter the Great replaced it with Arabic numerals as part of his civil script reform initiative.
Part of our mission is to raise awareness about this numeral system and revive it.
What We Need & What You Get
If there is enough interest in resurrecting this beautiful script your donations will help through the prototyping and developmental phase and eventually to production.
The perks are being part of history and preserving history, supporting a small business that support the struggling people in Kosovo and Metohija, and getting a unique one of a kind watch for a great value,
Impact
Russians and Serbs are often portrayed negatively in the media and there is little awareness of the beauty of our culture and kindness of our people.
Your investment in a Cyrillic Slavic wristwatch will have a positive impact in three ways:
By wearing the watch you will educate yourself and those you encounter about Slavic (Serbian, Russian) history and culture
You will help awareness about the struggles faced by Serbian families in Kosovo, the birthplace of the Serbian Orthodox Church. Three percent (3%) of all funds ($4.5 per watch) raised will go to humanitarian organization “Mother of Nine Jugovic” (Majka Devet Jugovica).
You will help us popularize the revival of the Cyrillic numeral system in Russia and Serbia
Humanitarian organization "Mother of the Nine Jugovic" was founded in 2000 and is officially registered by UNMIK. During its twelve years of work, the organization has worked intensively with international and local NGOs (IOCC, WCRP, Glasgow Caring City, UMCOR, CARE, Handicap International, Center for Peace and Tolerance, NGO "Homeland"). The headquarters of the organization is currently at the historic Gracanica Monastery.

Risks & Challenges
The great part of this project is that there is not a lot of risk involved.
As long as we raise sufficient funds the watch will be made, a portion of our proceeds will go to a great charity, and you will get a beautiful watch. A small investment from you will make all of this possible.
A percentage of all profits made by Bijes LLC will always be donated to the charity. This will be the case for the Cyrillic Slavic watch and any new products we create in the future.
We have everything lined up and I will post pictures and update every step of the way!
All that is left is testing consumer interest! So if you want to get behind this project please donate!
What happens to your money if we don’t meet our goal during this campaign?
If we don’t meet our goal we will put the money aside and continue seeking further investments until the project is complete.
