To kick things off, Fossil is holding its first-ever brand retrospective: The (R)evolution of the Fossil Watch in Basel, Switzerland. The exhibit celebrates the past and showcases how creativity, innovation and design has made the company one of the leading global players in this market. The exhibit will travel around the world and hit cities in Europe with stops in Asia and the US.

‘’The re-launching of the Archival Series alongside this innovative retrospective is something that the brand has wanted to do for a long time,’’ says Steve Evans, EVP Fossil Group.
‘’Fossil fans are truly an incredible group, and have loyally stayed with us on our journey for almost 35 years.”
