Fossil Neutra Multifunction Watch

The Fossil brand was founded in 1984 in Richardson, Texas, by Tom Kartsotis, originally under the name Overseas Products International. The brand quickly became known for its 'vintage-inspired' aesthetic, which revolutionized the fashion watch market by emphasizing lifestyle and design alongside quartz movements. Fossil is famous for its distinctive tin packaging and its ability to blend mid-century Americana styles with modern technology.

Today, Fossil operates as part of the Fossil Group, Inc., a publicly traded American fashion designer and manufacturer. While the brand originates from the United States, its manufacturing processes are global. The majority of Fossil's watch movements are sourced from Japan (Miyota) or Switzerland, while the assembly of the timepieces primarily takes place in China and Thailand to maintain competitive pricing. The brand remains a dominant force in the global accessory market, owning several other brands and producing licensed watches for high-end fashion labels.
