02 / Company & ownership
Behind the brand.
Fossil is Fossil Group's own watches and fashion-accessories brand, established in 1984 and expanded from watches into leather goods and jewellery. It must be kept separate from Fossil Group's other owned and licensed labels. Case size, movement, water-resistance rating, strap fit and material care are model-specific, and Fossil advises purchasing through its official or authorised network because counterfeit goods are common.
