Marc by Marc Jacobs Watch Collection

Back in 2005, I worked in Dallas, Texas for Fossil watches. What most people don't realize is that this mammoth of a company also does licensing (design, distribution, manufacturing, etc) for a handful of the hottest luxury watch brands out there: Michael Kors, Burberry, Armani, Michelle, Diesel to name a few).
So during my first year at Fossil, I received news that they acquired the license for Marc by Marc so naturally I jumped at the opportunity to be the sole designer and ultimately yours truly got the design job! Since it was a new collection, from scratch.. It was one of the intense, passionate, best experiences of my career. Who could ask for more, working with Marc Jacobs and his brilliant design team to develop a watch line that represented their identity.

Here are a few sketches and shots of some of the styles from the launch.
