We are so ready for the 4th of July! Woohoo, got the day off on Friday to get a kick start on the festivities. Let’s not forget what the holiday is all about now, whether you are supporter of our foreign policy or not, it’s only right to support the troops that are put in harms way. We are very proud to build watches that are appreciated by our armed forces and want take this opportunity to say thank you to the troops especially to SPC. Clayton Henderson and fellow soldier Alex Michel from the 305th PSYOP for sending us the below photos.


It means a lot to have guys like this take the time to take photos and send us e-mails to tell us the watches kick ass. We really appreciate. So to make a long story short, we’ve just come out with authentic military camouflage Shark Watches. Here’s to the troops! Now if only we could borrow that Hummer! Happy 4th of July!!!

We had some excitement in Freestyle land last night during our shoot with Cory. We wanted to get a shot with an airport/airplane in the backdrop to go along with Cory’s new signature world time watch, The Lopex III, coming out this October. Of course, we realized airport security is pretty tight since 911, so we found a cul-de-sac near an Airport that ran up to near the runway. There were no signs warning us this street was off limits or that we were violating any laws so we just started setting up the camera equipment. Then, in blink of an eye we had 3 Sheriffs burning rubber in our direction, barricading us in with their police vehicles, seriously putting the shut down on our operation. Anyways, with some smooth talking it ended up cool, they simply ran our licenses to make sure we weren’t bad guys, asked for Cory’s autograph and gave us the OK to finish up the shoot. The shot below is the result; you’ll see something like this in the new Fall 2009 Catalog.

Don’t forget about Dad! Father’s Day is rapidly approaching so here’s a heads up to make the time to hang with Dad this weekend. These days everybody’s so busy, we could all use a little help keeping on schedule and a trusty Freestyle watch can help. Keep dad on time in 2009! Check our Dealer Locator for a store near you.
