These iconic boxes are nearly as popular as the watches they hold and are regularly collected and traded throughout the world at flea markets, antique shops, and on eBay. With one of the most celebrated graphic design teams in the world and hundreds of awards to their credit, Fossil continues to set the highest standard for creative excellence.
This past June, Fossil let the design community in on the fun and announced a contest (open to designers in the United States only) to develop artwork for the brand's watch tin packaging. Along with the chance to win bragging rights and the pride of having their work put into actual production, Fossil offered contestants the chance to win a $1000 gift certificate to http://www.fossil.com/ and the opportunity to tour the Fossil design studio. The company has received over 250 entrees, and the grand prizewinner will be announced this November on the http://www.fossil.com/design website.
