So that we are all 100% crystal-clear, I am a great fan of Gorilla and the watches that Lukas Gopp and Octavio Garcia put out. While everyone else in Watch Town is racking their brains as to how to push out a stainless steel watch with integrated bracelet as fast as they can, the dynamic duo behind the Fastback quietly go about their business, making watches that make sense to them - and certainly make sense to me and a very vocal online following.

The Fastback collection is great for a lot of reasons, but Gorilla is more than just a collection of popular watches. It is a case study in setting your own agenda as a brand and having the courage of your convictions to see it through.
Viva Gorilla!
