Thread regarding Fossil Inc. layoffs

Nick Jonas to the rescue?

Franco seems to think Nick Jonas is going to save us! To move fashion watches again we need three things: Fossil must lead in innovation, clearly prove value (quality + price), and consistently deliver. Right now it’s a train-wreck with poor leadership, no positioning, and zero value.

The consultants (notably Laks) obviously lack watch/jewelry and supply-chain experience and have replaced a once rock-solid unique supplier base with inferior vendors, creating an operational disaster. Bottom line is that without a rapid and decisive reset, we’re sinking!

I’m not sure why you’re being so negative about our comeback. Nick has been incredible. The whole “wear a watch on your finger instead of your wrist” concept? That was his idea. You said you wanted innovation—well, here it is!
And as for using the same factories that produce for all the discount chains, that’s brilliant, right? What could possibly go wrong? Maybe a little green skin reaction… or a social compliance scandal in the news. But hey, totally worth the risk!
