Quoting: Anonymous Coward 42392596 The watches will fail It makes no sense The bikes could work but 30,000 SF in that climate the heating alone will sink the project. Economics is not rocket science Kartsotis, 53, is best known for founding Fossil FOSL -0.64%, the popular accessories brand. He was CEO from the start in 1984 until 2000, and remained chairman until 2010 while gradually reducing his stake to less than 5 percent. His brother, Kosta, now runs the Richardson, Texas, company. Since then, Tom Kartsotis, whose last-reported Fossil holdings are worth an estimated $320 million, has been pouring most of his resources into his venture capital firm, Bedrock. It invests in U.S.-based manufacturers like Seattle-based Filson, the 116-year-old outdoor clothing company it bought last year. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 42392596 United States 07/27/2013 01:30 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I hope they are not too pissed when the 15 dollar pen doesn't work brand new Quoting: Anonymous Coward 42392596 They don't build pens. They build watches. What you meant was they put decent Korean and Chinese movements in cases that they make here with damn few parts of the watch sourced from the US. Hey there are idiots that pend money for all kinds of brand names but they DON'T make the entire watch in the states.....matter of fact damned little of it is made here. It is a lie and it may last for a while but I think Americans will wise up. You do know that Vizio is an american company right? |
