FOSSIL Introduces Holiday 2013 Collection

 FOSSIL 2013 holiday are all about savoring every moment in the midst of parties, shopping and celebrations. With these special moments in mind, Fossil captures the essence of the season with the whimsical accessories and gifts from the Holiday 2013 collection.

This season, Fossil introduces two Limited Edition Watches: the Heather Starstruck for women and Grant Sapphire for men. Inspired by the night sky, the Heather Starstruck is a Limited Edition series of 254 timepieces, featuring a dial of 295 chaton-cut stones set against a gradient background of royal and midnight blue.  The watch is plated in brilliant gold with a unique edition number on the case back. Created from a solid block of sapphire that has been machined for over 750 hours, the Grant Sapphire is a very special Limited Edition watch, consisting of 254 numbered timepieces. Each case is water-resistant to 30 meters, and boasts a highly scratch-resistant finish.  Built with an automatic movement and Swiss mainspring, this classic watch is both durable and stylish.

For her, Fossil has designed a celebration of color and texture evoking the cosmic beauty of the Aurora Borealis.  Supple leathers and eye-catching accessories come in the season’s most enchanting shades – cobalt, emerald green, cranberry and red. Texture is added to every collection in details like rich leather piping and modern hardware, as well as hair calf offered in either a black and white print or a deep jewel-tone red. Classically neutral silver and gold brightens leather handbags, showing up in color-blocked styles and details like studs or embroidered constellations on pouches.  Bracelets, sunglasses and watches also reflect this shimmering palette. Little things mean a lot when it comes to gifts. From the smallest stocking stuffers like our whimsical ‘Animal Party’ jewelry, festive holiday charms and watches with crystals on the top ring, to small leather goods in metallic and holiday hues.

The natural phenomenon of the Northern Lights has inspired a collection for him that recalls the inviting warmth of a mountain cabin.  Traditional fabrics are back in a way that feels fresh and new.  A nostalgic Buffalo plaid, sleek grey flannel and a classic houndstooth add a dapper, masculine finish to our must-have bags.  Watches, sunglasses and bags have a timeless appeal for every age, with clean lines, neutral tones and well-crafted functionality, making them a must for the season.

In styles both rugged and sleek, the collection’s trim and texture elevate accessories like classic watches with sporty accents of silicone, or an essential duffle that pairs elegant tweed with burnished leather.  These styles serve to combine old-world durability and thoroughly modern design. Perfect giftables are vital for him, and Fossil offers a broad selection of valet trays, tech cases, watchboxes and Dopp kits to store his essentials in style.  Small leather goods have been updated in houndstooth, argyle, camo and woodgrain embossed patterns.
