Before watches got so serious… they were fun.In this episode, David sits down with industry titan Tim Hale, the first designer and long-time Executive Design Manager for the Fossil Group. Tim pulls back the curtain on how a small North Texas startup used "retail entertainment" and whimsical design to build a global empire that includes Diesel, Skagen, and Zodiac.
