Neil Ferrier is the Founder and CEO of Discommon, an Industrial and Design manufacturing firm. Some say, he has gasoline in his veins. His love for analog vehicles began in earnest in his teenage years after his dad purchased a BMW Z3 M Coupe. Later in life, as Neil started down the entrepreneurial path with the founding of his industrial design and manufacturing firm, he purchased a Z3 M Coupe of his own as a nod to the car that started it all. Neil’s passion for cars bleeds through to all aspects of his life, including his work. Discommon proudly pulls inspiration from the world of cars. In addition to analog vehicles, Neil has a love for analog watches—particularly TAG Heuer — and so it was only natural that his entrepreneurial endeavors would take the horological path at some point. In 2019, he co-founded Blok, a Swiss made watch company for kids.
