Fat Face are a vibrant brand and the latest addition to the Find Watches range. Fat Face watches came about some time after the iconic brand was founded. We have decided to stock them because we think that Fat Face watches are really cool.

The Fat Face story begins in France, 1988, when the two founders were trying to maximise the time they could spend playing on the snow. In the winter months they sold t-shirts to pay for skiing, then when spring came they would head to the beach and do the same thing. They ended up travelling around Australia surfing and selling T-shirts. It caught on. A few months later in Val D’isere, France, Fat Face was born. The label is named after one of the founders’ favourite slopes. Nowadays Fat Face sell lots of different products including Fat Face watches. We have decided to stock them, because we know that Fat Face always make great quality products designed to be able to resist the pressures of extreme sports. Their watches for men and women are ultimately a combination of high quality manufacture and appealing surfer cool.

Fat Face are always trying to positively influence the world, whether that means bringing you great products or ensuring that their workers in any countries are treated fairly and have a good time at work. They also pro-actively help the world with their charitable works including the Fat Face Foundation which partners with various conservation charities and organises events to help keep our natural environment clean and beautiful.

Fat Face are ultimately inspired by the amazing fun that can be had in the world, they say that everyone should get out there and get involved. Their motto sums up their appealing (although not entirely practical!) philosophy, “better a bad day on the slopes than a good day in the office.”

The watches come in some great designs. For the ladies there are some pretty strap watches, with lovely floral patterns on comfy leather straps as well as more individual watches such as the  black strand watch which is really cool and looks great on.  For the men, there are chunky leather straps and oversized faces. The other part of the gents watches range includes classic style sports watches which are a contemporary take on traditional watches.

Casio G-Shock - Click to see the range

It is no secret that G-Shock and Baby-G watches are designed and made by Casio. These world famous watches are built to withstand all kinds of extreme conditions and have built up a huge following from the music, sport and fashion worlds. It is not surprising when you consider that these watches are extremely durable and have loads of useful features like the one pictured which is multi-region radio controlled, solar powered and has many different timing features.

A less well known fact is that Casio G-Shock are always having parties and events to celebrate their success. When Casio put on a G-shock event loads of A-list celebrities clamour to be invited to the  parties. American rap superstar Kanye West and internationally acclaimed RnB singer Estelle have been on the guest list at recent events.

On the 11^th June 2009 the first of 12 secret global parties took place in trendy Soho in the heart of London. The G-Shhhhhh ‘Shock the World’ party was ultra-exclusive and a host of celebrities turned up to party through the night to show their love for everything G-Shock. Dizzee Rascal, Mark Ronson, DJ George Lamb and Fun Lovin Criminals front man Huey Morgan were all there to represent for Casio’s iconic brand.

As an extra G-Shock for the London party, Baby G, the female version of G-Shock, announced they were unveiling the identity of their newest brand ambassador. Who turned out to be none other than the freshest chart sensation Pixie Lott, whose first single went straight to the top of the charts. Her unmatchable determination to succeed under intense pressure and her feminine sense of style won her the place as the face of Casio’s Baby G range. The tough and pretty starlet told the press about her love of Baby G’s, “I’ve been wearing them for years. They’re really funky. They do so many colours which means that you can match them with any outfit and they spice it up and make it look fresh. I think they’re special because they are so girly and fun”

The next of the unstoppable ‘Shock the World’ tour dates took place in Hong Kong on June 26^th. Despite a cyclone warning people turned out in force to be counted as fans of G-Shock and Baby-G. Look out for more news about the upcoming parties. Rumours abound, but it looks like the next cities to be G-Shocked will be Shanghai and New York. Followed in the next six months by Taiwan, Singapore, Tokyo, Paris, Barcelona, Mexico, Korea and Berlin.
