Marc Jacobs International and Bedrock Manufacturing have sealed an agreement to design, produce and launch a new collection of Marc Jacobs watches.
The timepieces will be available in selected retailers in October.
Bedrock Manufacturing Founder Tom Kartsotis said: “Everyone at Bedrock is excited to be part of the next evolution of Marc Jacobs watches. Marc’s legacy in watches is remarkable, and the folks behind the brand are a joy to work with. We look forward to a great partnership with the brand.”
Marc Jacobs International CEO Eric Marechalle commented: “We are excited to partner with a company that shares our commitment to detail and quality. Through Marc’s unique design lens, and Bedrock’s well-established expertise in craftsmanship, we look forward to a new chapter of Marc Jacobs watches.”
Bedrock is the parent company to two American brands: Shinola, which offers high-quality, hand-crafted products including watches, bicycles and leather goods, and Filson, which specialises in products for outdoor enthusiasts.
American designer Marc Jacobs founded his namesake line in 1984. Marc Jacobs International includes fragrances, women’s wear, accessories, the Little Marc Jacobs children’s line, Bookmarc bookstore and Marc Jacobs Beauty.
Marc Jacobs’ Spring 2019 campaign (see below) was released earlier this month.
