Mumbai: Fossil unveils its new global campaign ‘Made For This’ to the Indian market, with brand ambassadors Varun Dhawan & Kriti Sanon as the face of its revamped collection of timepieces, leather goods, and jewellery

FOSSIL is excited to announce the launch of their latest campaign, Made For This. Alongside the campaign unveils, the brand reveals a complete overhaul of its creative expression across all touchpoints, inclusive of a modernized brand image and premium product assortment.

“Made For This is the culmination of extensive efforts across all areas of our business, in all regions, with both internal and external partners. We dug deep into Fossil’s nearly 40-year heritage and explored not only the role Fossil has played in so many lives for so long but also how the next generation of consumers is connecting most deeply with brands. The result of this work is our multi-year strategy that will bring our beloved heritage brand into its next era and to a new audience,” says Lisa Pillette, Chief Marketing Officer at Fossil Group. “A core element to this journey is a shared value between Fossil and our consumers: the ownership of one’s time. They’re incredibly thoughtful that time is spent with purpose, intentionality and community. Each way in which Fossil is a part of someone’s life—crafting leather goods that get better with age, the intention behind a watch’s intricate details, the methods in which we connect with our audience—is similarly defined by the time and care taken to create lasting products to be alongside them.”

The holistic brand work also extends into the product, including the identification of refreshed signature design elements, premiumization of materials and a refined design vision with the establishment of iconic platforms across categories—elevating the line to coincide with the revitalised brand ethos.

“As people experience moments, big and small, we want Fossil to be present and an important companion on their journey,” said Melissa Lowenkron, chief brand officer. “Fossil has a rich history built on innovation and craftsmanship. Our brand strategy focuses on product elevation across watches, leather goods and jewellery. This includes deliberate attention to design, incorporation of premium materials and establishing identifiable signature design elements across categories.

The Crest

Fossil is known for its original graphics. It has created thousands of illustrations over its nearly 40-year history that have shown up across every aspect of the brand—from tins to advertisements to the products themselves. The Fossil Crest is a special icon that has been used since the beginning—and one that kept coming back throughout the decades. Like all crests, its design carries a piece of the Fossil legacy. Look for it across the collections—a defining Fossil design element bridging the past to the future.

Legacy Charm

Fossil has always celebrated individuality and creativity. The new Legacy Charm is made to be personalised with your favourite letters or initials. With a nod to Fossil’s watchmaking heritage, this engravable charm is inspired by classic pocket watches. It rotates to evoke a globe, an important icon throughout Fossil’s history and a reminder of all the places you’ll go. The Legacy Charm tells Fossil’s story-now let it tell yours.

Signature Knurling

A defining texture of Fossil watches through the decades—knurling is inspired by American innovation. This diamond-etched texture was created for functional purposes, to make metal tools easier to handle and work with. Fossil used its Signature Knurling to add grip to its watch crowns since the beginning, but today you can find this distinctive texture across all of the brand’s accessories, from watches to leather goods.

Heritage D-Link’s

Timeless design that ingeniously blends form and function has always inspired Fossil creations. The d-link is just this kind of design—it’s as stylish as it is functional. To make it their own, Fossil softened its aesthetic, paired it with its signature materials and featured it as an iconic design element across their watch, jewellery and bag collections. Whether it links a watch strap to its case or forms a sculptural chain to wear— the Fossil Heritage D-Link connects design heritage to modern style.

“It’s an absolute delight for me to collaborate with Fossil as we celebrate the enduring legacy and rich heritage of this iconic brand through its new Made For This Global campaign. Thoughtful design and innovation are the foundation of Fossil timepieces, and this shines brilliantly in the Fall 2023 collection. It seamlessly blends Fossil’s tradition of exceptional craftsmanship with contemporary styles. Whether it’s a significant life event or a casual day, I rely on Fossil timepieces to elevate my look and express my style.” said Fossil India brand ambassador Varun Dhawan
