Fossil Men's Fashion Brand

Fossil Group, Inc. is an American fashion brand and manufacturer founded in 1984 by Tom Kartsotis and based in Richardson, Texas. Their brands include Fossil, Relic, Abacus, Michele Watch & Now Coach NY, Skagen Denmark, and Zodiac Watches. They make accessories, jewelry, leathers, belts, watches, and more. This is therefore a group profile filed under its lead name: the men's Fossil page is the doorway to a portfolio of watch and accessory brands, with the Fossil brand itself first among them.

Since 1984, they have been a creative collaborative inspired by all things curious - the group's stated temperament: collaborative in how it works, curious in what it notices. Set beside the portfolio list, the sentence explains the group's shape. A creative collaborative inspired by curiosity is a group that gathers brands - a Danish watch name, a Swiss-named watch name, jewelry and leather lines - rather than a single house with a single founder's hand, and a researcher should read the Richardson, Texas headquarters and the 1984 founding as the centre that holds those gathered brands together.

Mid-Century Lines and the Modern Aesthetic

When the clean lines of mid-century design meet the modern aesthetic of today, the results are bold-yet-refined men's watches that represent the best of what Fossil stands for: bags that pair portability with streamlined design, traditional watches created in fresh hues and materials and timeless clothes and accessories that accompany you wherever you are traveling. That design sentence does three jobs at once: it names the design formula (mid-century clean lines plus today's aesthetic), it gives the product proof (bold-yet-refined watches, portable streamlined bags, traditional watches in fresh hues and materials), and it states the use (timeless clothes and accessories for a man traveling).

The men's page is, by its own title, an accessories page, and a researcher should judge it as one. Clothing appears in it as the travelling companion of the accessories - timeless clothes that accompany you - while the centre of the offer is watches, bags, belts, leathers and jewelry. The directory frame points onward, in this page's lists: the Men's Fashion Brands directory and its second and third pages, and the Fashion Designer Directory. The official Fossil site is in References, where a researcher reaches the group's current ranges. The gallery below shows two photographs of the brand.

Reading This Fossil Record

Read as a buying guide, Fossil gives a man the formula test and the portfolio test. The formula test: does the piece show clean lines of mid-century design meeting the modern aesthetic of today - bold yet refined, traditional in form, fresh in hues and materials? The portfolio test: which of the group's brands is it actually from - Fossil itself, or Relic, Abacus, Michele, Skagen Denmark or Zodiac Watches - and does it belong to the group's stated making list of accessories, jewelry, leathers, belts and watches?
