CEO/ Co-Founder
2013 - 2021
In 2013, two watch enthusiasts dropped out of college with the dream of reinventing the watch industry. Tired of big brand markups, the duo set out to create a direct to consumer model. Due to enormous fan support, we became the second highest crowdfunded fashion brand in 2013. Through the amazing engagement of our fans we have established a growing community on social media amassing 1.5 million followers. MVMT (pronounced ”movement”) was founded on the belief that style shouldn’t break the bank - our goal is to change the way you think about fashion by offering high-quality watches at a revolutionary price.
