INSPIRATIONAL QUOTE
Respect your perspective.
CAREER & LIFE CHALLENGES
When I came up with the idea for the watches, I drew up extensive plans and shopped my ideas around to suppliers – component and sub-component makers. Because I only wanted to do a limited run of 50 watches, no one was interested. It wasn’t until I stumbled on the CEO of one watch company who knew the ICON brand, that I was able to get a supplier on board to move the project forward.
